5 Nations Tournament in the summer?

sigh. I made it pretty clear that I didn't intend to cause offence in my earlier posts, so if you do take offence to such a broad term (used semi-seriously) you are being pedantic at best and pathetic at worst.

Iechyd da.

Much ado about nothing, Cymro's a decent guy. We are not a home nation but my only interpretation of Cymro's error is that as a close geographic and cultural neighbour he sees us differently than he would, say, Spain. Fair enough.


PS: Fergie, you still have my VHS?

It's not ignorant, it's a widely used term to describe the British national sides and the ROI together... but the point is the term is perfectly legitamate.

it is not widely used anywhere outside of the United Kingdom. And you know pretty damn well its not used here otherwise you wouldn't have put the line "If that offends you, I.......don't really care" in. We know you were kidding, but some are most sensitive than others on this forum so to keep the peace, don't refer to ROI side as a home nation here

[Cymro]

Alright, I won't use it anymore. I don't really understand why you don't like the term though. It's not as if it means you're British or anything, and that wasn't implied in what I said either.

surely from an irish point of view, ireland is the only home nation!
though perhaps norn iron too
