"Any Association which is responsible for organising and supervising football
in its country may become a Member of FIFA. In this context, the expression
“country” shall refer to an independent state recognised by the international
community. Subject to par. 5 and par. 6 below, only one Association shall be
recognised in each country"*
* Each of the four British Associations is recognised as a separate Member of
FIFA.
Northern Ireland is not the territory of the FAI - Northern Ireland is the territory of the IFA.
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...
Isn't it technically 'both' after the CAS ruling though, NB??
As in your potentially relative loss and our gain?
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you AB.
Not sure what you mean by "both"?
Are you confusing nationality with Association territory?

And you'd still be wrong. I inferred nothing about posts I wasn't replying to.I'll hold to the inference.
I didn't realise this thread was a court of law, military or otherwise. Even if it was, I haven't even replied to (or been answered by) Messrs Invincible and Predator, and merely corrected Fly who seems to think I was replying/ referring to one poster when I clearly addressed another. But if that's what floats Lord Justice Ardee's boat, fine.

Belated thanks NB. Hope yours was good?
Apologies for responding to the other distorted interjection, but stand by the point that certain posters have very visibly lost on the very tenuous points they were alluding to make.
And just as well had no legal standing, as they would have been laughed out long ago!!!
They should quit before they fall further behind.

More seriously does the CAS ruling differentiate between potential nationality and territory in this instance?? As in the subsequent national association.
As in it can fall both sides of the fence, as it were.
Despite the odd, er, 'protestation', guessing Messrs. Invincible, Pred & Fly have answered either here or in threads passim.....
8 pages already... I'm coming over all nostalgic for the Boundary Commission...
I just hope this kid is worth all the fuss. Somehow I think not.
Always look on the bright side of life
Fly knew well, he was saying he holds inference as in EG speaks in flowery language.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Unfortunately, "territory" is left undefined, so we just have precedent to help us understand what FIFA deem it to mean.
Hehe, why thank you. Although in fairness to GR, I find his contributions to be generally fair, rational and reasoned even if he does happen to have differing interests from the majority posting here. Certainly a relief from the disingenuity of EG.Ha ha.

Maybe you're right but clearly you've not read his, er, input, on a certain Glaswegian football club.
Which would disprove that theory fairly quickly!!
I agree.
I think you flatter me AB! Or are you cheekily denigrating my contribution?!Ha ha.

Perhaps he's making special reference to our combined contributions towards the debate over on OWC.I think you flatter me AB! Or are you cheekily denigrating my contribution?!

Really?
And what "precedent" is that?
I'll give you a clue - Bruce did not acquire a new nationality.
However Barton may be eligible for the Republic Of Ireland, it is not because Northern Ireland is the territory of the FAI.

What little credibility the Belfast Telegraph sports writers had, has, in my opinion, been torn to shreds by their last few articles on the affair.
Are you saying Bruce qualified to play for us under article 15 then? That's kind of the idea I was mulling over in post #131 regarding Barton. I can certainly see how it's possible.
Is Barton acquiring a new nationality?
