In a united Ireland which Football Association would represent the country ?

If that happened, I reckon the IFA would continue to play friendlies like Catalonia and Northern Cyprus do.

That is disalpointing news about Rice. We will have to try and get by without him.

Time to move on!

Dont need him. Time FAI started proper structurefor young players instead chasing English players. We got a couple from Scotland and the north in recent years. Chaps like Andy Townsend, John Aldridge, Mark Lawrence and Tony Cascarino pick and choose when they declare themselves as irish

The IFA is a memebr of IFAB, it has a longer history and it originally represented the whole of Ireland.

Hmm, they had a history of picking players only from the north, even before the north existed. So they basically were the same as what they are now, representing one side.

Let him f**k off the bollix. I hope he ends up playing Jack grealish in the championship. All about the money. Forget him, move on with what we have.

When Ireland won the British Home Championship for the first time in 1914 their top scorers were Bill Lacey from Wexford and Billy Gillespie from Donegal

Lad from England, born in England, of English parents developed through the English club system decides to play for England and this is your reaction?

[macdanger2]

Pity that Rice didn't choose Ireland, would wish him good luck if he had done it before he played two senior games for us but no point dwelling on it.

I think once you play at a level above 18s, you should be locked in. Make your decision then and stick with it. Friendlies should count in this regard.

In more positive news, I see Ryan Nolan is named in the Inter squad for the EL tomorrow night

Would that include players representing NI too?

That's the most important thing, what religion they were.
