Excellent news. Very unlike a judge to make a sensible decision.

A Nothern Ireland  footballer
You have Two nationalities by birth, like it or not.
One nationality,  the UK one  allows you to play for NI
The Irish nationality allows you to  play for the Republic.


His Irish nationality entitles him to jack shit in Northern Ireland.
He can play for NI because he is an UK national.
He is a UK national by birth.
He can use his Irish passport for ID purposes.
Does nobody know the constitutional status of NI ?

The player can choose two associations because he has 2 nationalities not because he has one nationality.

Do you need a hand moving those goalposts?

You've just spent 4 pages claiming that Article 15 applies (when it clearly doesn't) and have now decided that actually dual nationality applies!!! Make yer mind up FFS.

p.s. As I've stated numerous times IMO dual nationality doesn't apply as the players have either British or RoI citizenship, not both.

Christ you don't logon for a few days and the world caves in.

I love reading main street's posts, he should get himself a job as a spin doctor, the way he cuts and chops certain paragraphs to suit his argument and leaves out the bits he doesn't like/doesn't understand. FIFA have made no exceptions/special cases for the FAI and they must abide by the same rules as everybody else,

Article 15 is irrelevant. The players either have a nationality which entitles them to represent more than one FA (so article 16 applies) or they have dual UK/RoI nationality in which case the dual nationality rules apply (can't imagine there are too many of these).

It is very clear and the only people muddying the waters are trolls like MS.

Go back to the OWC and get your FIFA statute lessons from that Moore lad.
The guy has tried hard to reason with you.

Is there really a need to spread your shite all over the world.

Fantastic response!! If you agree with Mooretwin, then why have you been arguing the exact opposite on this thread?

Try reading my post and you'll see that I mentioned MT's point, namely dual nationality.

gweltah is just an alterego of EG or Sammy.

Sammy it is, then 

Not guilty your honour.

Sure them boys are practically English

Fcuk me that just never stops being funny.

so can be forgiven for not know much about the aspects of Irish culture and society that are mentioned. As for those referred to in the thread title, they're telling lies. They may want you (and more importantly their neighbors) to think they are good White Anglo Saxon Protestants, untainted by any influence from the Papish Irish, but we know rightly they have the RTE aerials hidden in the attic and that's Pat Kenney they're watching behind those curtains.

Interesting so you're not just a cultural analyst but also a mind-reader. 

Janey Mac! Only nifan has joined in.
Where is EG and gweltyah and SammyG?
I thought this thread would be a magnet for the OWC lads.

Thanks for your concern. Two reasons I haven't posted, firstly I haven't been on the site for a while and secondly even if I had been I'm not a Prod.

As far as the original questions

1. Never have heard of Dustin the Turkey. - Not before all the Eurovision shite
2. Never to have heard of the Late Late show. - Heard of and been in the audience a few times
3. To call Monaghan, (Monackon) - never heard it pronounced like that
4. To not be able to pronounce Aisling - could pronounce it
5. To never have heard of Brian Cowen - never heard of him before a few weeks ago

Many GAA clubs act like commercial entities too, don't you get that or does it not suit your agenda?

So they're commercial entities when it comes to 'freedom fighters' but they're strictly controlled when it comes to controversial stuff, like letting the local kids football team, rent a pitch? Excellent, glad you cleared that up.

No, there's rules against what's played on the pitches - no rules against what rents out premises for the functions.

Actually rule 8 says

"Non-Party Political/Non-Sectarian
(a) The Association shall be non-party
political. Party political questions shall not
be discussed at its meetings, and no
Committee, Club, Council or
represenative thereof shall take part, as
such, in any party political movement. A
penalty of up to twenty four weeks
suspension may be imposed for
infringement.
(b) The Association shall be non-sectarian"

Strangely this rule isn't enforced.

Paisley has never used the term Northern Ireland (to my knowledge), he always talks about either Ulster or North of Ireland.

aw jaysus not more lies!!!

Not lies, the phrase 'to my know;ledge' means I've never heard him, not that it definitely didn't happen. To be honest I try not to listen to the oul cnut if I can avoid it.

Not fair having DC's ranking points drop so drastically in the last year, especially having a team which finished third in the first division ahead of them?? Stupid

Also puts their hopes of expanding the stadium in jeapordy, whats the point of having a load of emtpy seats/terrraces for an intermediate club?

The problem is that they keep announcing plans to do things but haven't got round to doing any of them. They knew exactly what the criteria were and what things would get them extra points but didn't bother to do any of them. DC are claiming that they were denied some grant or other and if that's true then they might be able to appeal, on the grounds that they wanted to do the work but the IFA didn't provide the money.

Has anyone noticed the change in Ian's language lately?

On his last First Minister's Questions on Monday, he said that there has been big changes in "this part of Ireland".

And tonight on the news he said "north of Ireland".

Probably nothing, but it's not the usual stuff I'm used to hearing from the big man.

[DID NOT MENTION CELTIC]

[
FFS this is getting silly now. I DID NOT MENTION CELTIC Tony did and I replied. The well behaved Celtic fans are obviously not the same as the hooligan Rangers fans they are the same as the tens of thousands of well behaved Rangers fans. However the hooligan Celtic fans are the same as hooligan Rangers fans.

Hope that is clear enough for even your tiny brain to understand.

Yes you did mention Celtic in reference to Tony going on about the Glasgow riots by Rangers fans.
You wrote
"Two sides of the same shitty coin, always have been and always will be a minority in both Celtic and Rangers support who are scum"

No evidence to support,  no arrest count. no police statements. no bbc television pictures, no media attention. in fact Celtic fans behaviour are of the highest standards in soccer and have received fulsome praise from Police chiefs/media /fans all around the world whereas Rangers in general have an intense scum element everpresent.

No comparison really, even a braindead windup  troll like should get that point

When you say brain dead I presume you're talking about the type of person who can comment on something without actually bothering to read it, a bit like yourself in fact.

p.s. Rangers have been praised several times this season and had zero arrests or trouble at any of their previous European matches. But that doesn't mean that a significant minority aren't scum, they clearly are, as Wednesday night proved.

they're sickening pathetic fcukers for what they've done in manchester and theres no way to hide that sammy,

How the fcuk am I hiding anything? I have said time and again that they are the scum of the earth and should be locked up. What more do you want me to say?

When the GAA take the bull by the horns and ensures clubs arent named after the likes of Kevin Lynch, perhaps then there will be much less reluctance to see gaelic footbal or hurling  in state schools.

It's not up to the GAA to name clubs, it's up to the people who establish them. 

Complete horseshit.
