My rage at our national football association being described as a "Home Nation" is more than counterbalanced by the complete omission of the North East of Ireland/IFA :D

Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

I would say that quite a few will care, like those who moaned not so long ago with the lack of North of Ireland merchandise at Belfast's two airports etc. ;D

They are selling NI retro shirts i see.

I wonder does the JJB deal mean they cant sell the current gear? It certainly was something like that at the begining but I thought it had changed.

Thats what happens when you outsource graphic design to Bangladesh and fail to have any sort of local quality review.

Let me see, now....

1. It's "Republic of Ireland", not Ireland;

2. They are a "Home Nation";

3. They fly the same flag as the Ivory Coast;

4. And although they don't sell the current NI tops - possibly due to Licensing Arrangements - they do sell these ones: http://www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag_4_5/retro/product_browse.aspx?cid=4849

If I were you, i think I'd be raging more than ever!   ::) 

You know, you shoot yourself in the foot so often, it must make it hard for you to count past 10... :D

Snuck in under the cover of darkness last night.  Nothing about it in the Fightback section.  Just as well because it probably saved some lad's PA the hassle of deleting a heap of mails from "Angry from Northern Ireland.".

I think poor old Tony is no longer getting the reaction he used to.
