If Nationalists want to represent NI at the Commonwealth Games let them at it I say. Who is Fear or anyone else that matter to dictate what "nationalist" means?It's not a zero sum game as can be seen from the polls in NI, the sectarian divide has become more of a spectrum and just because someone represents NI in sport doesn't stop them voting for SF or wanting a United Ireland no matter how much Fear seems to want that to be the case!

Im Irish you see, not northern irishI struggle with the entity that is deemed Northern Ireland myself, I've no grá for it, but if others do want to compete in the Empire games for the betterment of their career then I'd say fire away.I'll be cheering on Ciara Mageean this weekend but if she does get on the rostrum and they fly that "Ulster Banner" that was discarded in 1972 then I'm going to wind her Da and uncle up something awful.
Seen the Kate O’Connor girl running about with an ulster banner. Doing a rory mcilroy

I don’t think I could bring myself to run about with the other regardless of who I’m representing
