Charity game - hence the result.
How about FAIR FUX (featuring unionists exceptionally)?
It's not and it will be heard on Tuesday imo, but hopefully to a lessor degree.

Of course it won't please everyone. You never will, but at least it might demonstrate the good intent.Perhaps we should change our flag to a tricolour and change our name to the North of Ireland and our national anthem to Amhrán na bhFiann but you know what, that still wouldn't please some people.
I think you get my point here.

Inclusive stuff.
Absolutely.
The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
Hopefully.
Of course, if it is heard, it'll be nothing to do with sectarianism.

That cap fits both ways.
Not really, but past caring at this stage.
Hmm, I don't recall....
Ah, dunno. Works for me.
Ok, I see.
Hmmmm .... And are they as welcome?
Except up thread you were saying certain members of the North's squad just had Irish passports, so where do they stand?
Apart from not at attention, when a certain dirge is played....
.....
Missed that. Maybe not as well-researched as I first suggested then.
I imagine that those players were born in Northern Ireland are are thus British Citizens from birth, and therefore eligible to represent Northern Ireland
I've actually lost track of what on earth is going on in this thread the past two pages or so.
Agreed Danny! Is there a game happening at some stage soon or something?
Let's not be bringing football into this now...
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
I profoundly apologise for my stupidity!
100%.

JO'B also missed two Euro 96 qualifiers in his piece - notwithstanding that, it dealt well with the subject in hand.Missed that. Maybe not as well-researched as I first suggested then.

A few players from both sides of tonight's game having a say on the topical eligibility issue...
Robbie Keane:
Gareth McAuley:Speaking ahead of tonight’s Carling Nations Cup game against Nigel Worthington’s IFA team, Ireland captain Robbie Keane has waded into the eligibility issue stating that it was “totally up to the players” themselves if young Irish internationals from the North decide to play for Ireland rather than the IFA team.
Keane said “If someone wants to play for the Republic and they have the opportunity to do that, its totally up to the players, we had the Darron Gibson situation but at the end of the day he wanted to play for Ireland, so there’s not a lot they can do about it”
Gareth McAuley insists Northern Ireland are only interested in players who are fully committed to the cause.
Their Carling Nations Cup game against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin tonight has reignited the debate over eligibility.
...
McAuley - who will wear the skipper's armband at the Aviva Stadium - said: 'If people don't want to play for us then we don't want them in our squad.
'It's as simple as that. We've got a tight group and we have had over the years.
'The young lads coming through are coming through together and if they don't want to be a part of it we won't twist anyone's arm.
'If you're not fully committed, then no thanks.'
