I think norn iron would beat Antigua easily, probably win about 8 -2

i think now we see the emergence of an all-ireland team the writing is definitely on the wall for the northern team.

Megan, I fixed that for you. Unless he lives in County Dublin that is.

Fact of the matter is that whether you like it or not, about half the population of the 6 Counties follow the All Inclusive All Ireland team. Now you and your Ilk need to ask the question.... why?

Has it anything to do with the Overtly Unionist emblems and sectarian songs? the singing of GSTQ? The alleged fans of the wee six hounding out the ex-captain with death threats.

Now Megan that little cheap jab at waking up in the UK every day Blah Blah Blah is getting tiresome. I feel your like Graham Norton- 'In need of new material'.

As an avid fan of the IRELAND team, the team that consists of players from the 32 counties. I make it to as many home matches as I can, and I live in England. You Megan will have to accept that there is a hell of a lot of people in the 6c that follow the all Ireland team, and have no affinity for the pub team. Simples. Anyway, enjoy being in the top 100.

Oh look another FIFA World Rankings thread. They mean so much and we should take them as gospel.

Oh look England are 7th and are rated 3 places higher than Argentina. Oh look theres Portugal who are rated better than Brazil.

These FIFA world rankings are defo the way forward as they represent the complete truth of the strength of different nations who play in different continents (eg North America + Central America) , picking up points against equally bad teams from the said continent and climbing the world rankings, without playing stronger nations from stronger continents (eg Europe/South America).

I take it as gospel i tell ye!

John giles I don't find the waking up in the UK jibes tiresome lol.................

I occasionally work in Newry and the amount of ROI registrations spending their dwindling euro's in the UK also amuses me lol.......................

You talk about flags and emblems that offend you I'm sure you were outraged when the Irish rugby union flew the tri-colour and blasted out the ROI anthem to welcome the Northern Irish players and fans to Dublin lol........................

POT, KETTLE, BLACK sums you guys up lol....................

las malvinas...

go to youtube and check out what the northern irish fans were singing near the food stands ...and will answer your question about catholic players..and why they wont play for your little pub team.......

if northern ireland play gstq and catholics play for you ..then soldiers song is played when in the republic for the rugby......you cant have it both ways

Bat out of. Hell guys on here stick there necks out about the national emblem and anthem yet the all-inclusive rugby team flys the tri-colour and plays the soldier song!!!!

That would deffo entice owc fans to want an all-ireland soccer team!!!!!

A lot of OWC,s fans associate the tri-colour with terrorist draped coffins!!!

wow..i dont know if if you being pedantic..stupid...serious ..all of the above....or nothing

i can say the exact same thing about irish people looking at union flags and what not being paraded on loyalist coffins in the north ..but i dont want to talk about politics...no interest....

you are making a point about flag identity ......yet you give out about the flag of ireland being played at irish matches...thats a bit naive in my book...

and a lot of irish people are really annoyed that the national anthem of ireland is foresaken to appease protestants when ireland play abroad......

as far as an all ireland soccer team....its a great idea.....but just too many doughnuts on each side that wont let go of tribal and sectarian bigotry .............and the combining of maybe 2 flags and a separate anthem...WOW...how hard is that..............

also take into consideration when any irish person goes over the border you see stuff written on walls about nonsense


how do you expect ireland to ever get past this.,...and i believe prods dont want it anyway

Dude the ROI flag being played at an Irish game lol..................

Maybe your too stupid or naive to understand lol.............

Although I'm thinking its ignorance lol...............

posted on 12/4/12

im not ignorant mate.......
you are making a point about owc..and flags and other guff..

ok......catholics have to play for the northern and listen to gtsq.......but thats the way it is ...according to northern irish people....

prods playing for ireland are up in arms so soldeirs song isnt played abroad..........and as far irish flags..yes its dublin ......ireland.........

as i said above you cant have it one way..then give off about it the other side...

thats it from me buddy.......

Should have been the ROI flag flying at an all-Ireland game lol.................

Can't multi-task lol..................

So what your saying Alex is that NI should really be ranked in the top ten?

posted on 13/4/12

Megan I cannot decide if you are extremely stupid, or blinded by hatred.

Yes I live in England, have done since 2002. So what? Just because I live in England and as you say "Pay taxes to the UK" exchequer, does my pride in my country get any less? I think not.

Megan you are a bit sore at a couple of things, the obvious one being the rankings of the pub team over the 18th position the all Ireland team happily finds itself in. The other is the issue you seem to have of Irish people playing for Ireland.

Whats all this about unemployment in Ireland? What has it got to do with Irish soccer?

posted on 13/4/12

Johnny Boy obviously your not that stupid as you were one of the rat's to leave the sinking ship lol......................

posted on 13/4/12

Not at all Megan, I had a good job in Derry, but I wanted to further my education. Again I say what has employment rates in Ireland got to do with soccer?

Ah your a Londonderry guy who had to move to Engerland lol........................

Explains the chip lol.....................
