QuoteI dunno. They give an option of ROI. I've picked all other 3 before without proxies. I decided to be honest in this one and see how it goes. Otherwise I'll infiltrate them with a can of whoop ass and a computer in Donaghcloney.
possibly blocking anyone with a ROI i.p address?

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Odd. I've always found our wee minds to be a place of open discussion where opinions at odds with the party line are encouraged and welcomed.
I'm sure that, in years to come, academics will look back and reference the small-time siege mentality of that forum in a study of football fans in northern Ireland.

I found debate on the eligibility issue to be of a generally saner and more advanced level on IrishLeagueSupporters.com - even the fact it's allowed is a good start - although it might well have something to do with the presence of Ireland-supporting Cliftonville fans such as our own Mr. Parker and some of the more reasonable NI fans that frequent here. I did get bogged down in a rather monotonous debate recently with one particular poster though over such things as the subjective nature of fairness/unfairness. I think I still owe him a reply, but, thankfully, the Estonia play-off came round and distracted me there.

Dear Ms/Mr Gary:
Thank you for your interest in the FAI. Our doorman enjoyed meeting you.
While we were impressed with your drawing skills, ultimately it falls to me to inform you that your letter has been rejected.
We appreciate your interest and the time you have invested in coming down to the big smoke. It made our qualification to the Euros all the more sweeter.
Laughing out loud,
JD.
I hope Gary got an autographed tie from the doorman.
And you/we of course have never indulged in even the slightest form of irony...
I call fake! John Delaney would never refer to himself as "JD"; I know for a fact he much prefers the title of Grand Master John Delaney.
Guys, seriously, what is the big joke? Don't you know there's an apartheid going on 'round here?

Ah Danny, no. He wrote Laughing Out Loud, not LOL!

Was wondering why there has been no mention if Paul McVeigh today. It was a headline on RTÉ.ie.
the comments section is quite funny - the usual misinformation, irelevent nonescene posted
I haven't seen such furious debate over a song since I visited YouTube this morning.
I propose replacing all instances of 'Queen' with 'Team' and changing the melody to that of the McGyver theme. Voilà, an anthem with it's priorities in order that eleven gentlemen and one deity can get right behind.
Symbols are a non-issue for me really. The IFA could make their anthem "A Nation Once Again" and adopt a flag of a leprechaun with shamrocks sprouting out his ears but the IFA would still be as irrelevant to me as any of the other British associations.
This comment was interesting:
He's quite clearly plucked that out of his arse and hasn't a notion what the circumstances are there, but, out of interest, does anyone with a knowledge of the region know what the reality is? Would ethnic Serbs in Croatia support Croatia over Serbia, for example?No doubt in the Balkans, there are muslims and christians supporting the various teams, but they appear to get behind the flag.

To think we were in a group with Yugoslavia, Croatia and Macedonia at the time of the Kosovan war? Absolute madness to think that those teams would be allowed be drawn in the same group.
Not even going to profess to know the intricacies of the Balkan situation but in a conflict that is so much more complex and has seen such a greater level of bloodshed, I can only imagine that much like our own situation, ethnic serbs support Serbia, ethnic Croats support Croatia.
Identity is not dictated by one's postcode.
It's decent Friday entertainment.
BigWillyJohn's fire is well lit.
Could it be that it's just a small number of like minded loudmouths, who manically rush around to give the appearance that every barricade is over manned to fight to the death, against any hint of a perceived erosion of the British identity.
Not surprisingly, those who consider it their wee country want others to butt out. Come and play for our "all-inclusive" team, but don't dare tell us what to do with our anthem or our stadium. The idea that only NI fans should have a say in the anthem of the team that purports to represent "Northern Ireland" is ridiculous; No surrender to papists, eh?

Just out of interest, how and to whom else would you give a say? Count random callers to Nolan or Wendy? Make it an election issue? Force a constitutional amendment?
