You must be a very poor player so.

Sadly for Northern Ireland they will lose to a very strong England side, this in no way suggest that the Irish are not going to give them a game.

But i think at the end of the day the Northern Ireland side are up against one of the best sides in the world, possible score will be 3-0 to England.

[Eire06]

Don't know who I want too see loose more ..

Well I suppose I'll go for the underdogs but they don't have a chance really do they

[sligoman]

Northern Ireland are up against one of the best sides in the world,

BBC 1 northern isle, yesterday "now we'll go back to the BOD (a bar in Belfast i presume) to hear our boys"....interviwer in bar is being jostled as he tries to interview two supporters while all the time in the backround "we are, we are we are billies boys, and we're up to our kneck in fenian......you know the rest.
Bck in studio that bigot says and "even when we'e winning, (which isnt often) drawing or losing they still sing!"
And the anthems, were most of the norn irish lAds singing GSTQ? England A versus England D IMO

Anthems? There was only one anthem played. GSTQ is the Northern Ireland anthem too. Even Scotland and Wales have their own anthems, absolutely pathetic that NI still use that dirge as theirs.

In fairness what else are they meant to use?

Anything! i mean if the rugby crowd insist on using the dirge irelands call, i woudlnt care if it was nadine from girls alowed singing my rubber duckie! Singing the oppostions anthem is like telling them we're on your side (football wise)

Well Northern Ireland met and played A STRONG ENGLAND side and sadly got beat, but they did themselves proud. Whether you like it or not England are one off the best sides in the World FACT not FICTION, so give Northern Ireland some credit as they where not playing some minnows.

[motorcycleman]

As N.I. is one of the British home nations GSTQ is as much N.I.'s anthem as it is England's.It was right to play it for both.

The fact remains like it or not that of the 207 member Nations of FIFA the wee North is the only one without it's own anthem. Wales have one and Scotland have one. Andorra has one, even the Pacific Island states have them (population outnubered 15 to 1 by seabirds)

True , but at least we don't play our home internationals in a rugby stadium

Davros,embarrassing yourself again."a country of sorts,no thanks to the planters.Yawn.

Planters brought new farming methods.
Cleared many forests.
Grew huge amount of crops.
Flax grown for first time.
Potatoes grown for first time.
New towns created and were carefully planned.
Each town had a church, courthouse, townhall.
New and better roads built.
How many universities were in Ireland prior to the planters ?

The Republic since partition was in an economic wilderness of mass emigration/poverty until recently.

I read in the Aer Lingus magazine going to the match on Saturday about the elderly Irish emigrants in London sending home an estimated 4.4million to their families which in turn helped the irish economy.Today they are living in terrible conditions in the U.K.

Back to the football thread please,Davros.

do you castigate people who refer to people from the Republic as "Mexicans", "Beggars" or "tinkers" on other "football" sites?....the fact that the situation in the North still reverberates til this day kind of negates all of you're "positive" points...hypothetically, I think most people whould've rather stayed poor than put up with all the bull****.

it makes me vomit that 'God shave the Queer' is played for northern ireland, whilst scotland and wales have their own. one reason why i could not be happy going to northern ireland games. i would love to be able to support fully both teams on the island. i am from northern ireland and i would support northern ireland as well as the ireland team if they got rid of some of the bigot gits and that horrific piece of music, it is unacceptable. i am surprised they are even allowed to play in green! they could pick a neutral song rightly. i love danny boy, it would be very good to play or choose another neutral powerful number
