Fair play to Norn Iron and they will defo be my 2nd team in the tournament, if the Republic qualify.

Although the location of Windsor Park doesnt help, Eddie Harrison and his sentiment don't own Norn Iron. Its not exclusive to those guys and that attitude, as I am sure gawa could testify.

That is a very generous post. Well done.

FAI merging with IFA?

Could you see Billy from the Shankill having a pre match pint in Dublin with Sean from The Falls with a tri colour wrapped around him? It's pure fantasy land, that is, so it is.

That's the problem with this kind of proposal. It is always characterised as joining "themmuns", the people you have rows with a couple of streets away. But neither Billy nor Sean are Ireland, and Jim from Banbridge and Frank from Waterford should be able to have a pint without problems.

For the recent all ireland hurling semi final I was on the bus from banbridge to Dublin and at least 10 lads got on with  half of them wearing Waterford jerseys. So they are already having pints together

Great supporters indeed:

Up to our necks in Fenian blood

seen that on fb earlier. some of the comments saying it's only a minority as it just shows one pub. :o a minority for me would be 3 or 4 fans in the one pub singing it - not the whole pub.

It's a pub on the Shankill, what are people expecting

And a whole terrace at the game itself singing the 'bouncy song' (celebrating the murder of Robert Hamill in Portadown) - is that to be expected too?

Does everyone singing that song associate it with that? I wouldn't have thought so?

If we look hard enough at any game in the country we could hear something that will offend someone..

Debatable as to whether that song is about Robert Hamill, apparently it dates from the 80s?

God bless all your innocences if you think that song hasn't been 'rededicated' and that the singers don't know that the Taigs know well what's being 'celebrated'.

Not surprising I suppose (that such is deemed 'expected') when one of their political mandarins talks about having to 'hold his nose' when fulfilling the duties of political office with equally mandated representatives from the 'fenian' community.

I wouldn't question there being an element of the support fitting the above description, but the whole stand?

imtommygunn

I don't believe for a second a stand full of people are singing that song in that spirit.

You've a lot of anger in you lad... There are seriously thick bigots supporting certain teams ... But they are clampits of the highest order and don't represent everybody... Even you with your educated background and non biased view on things can agree on that??
