Just wondering.

I only found out recently that the Brits supported the Government side in the Irish Civil War. I

i would say the Department of Transport - I had to regularly have to go between Dublin Airport and Dundalk about 20 years ago. It used to really get my goat seeing an Ulsterbus which would stop at Dundalk bus station to pick up people but was not allowed to drop off people solely down to partitionist regulations shite.

I think that FAI could offer more to a New Ireland discussion but have yet to peep out.

The FAI as a sporting institution has yet to mature.

Obliviously in the event of a united Ireland the FAI would rejoin the Irish Football Association.

The FAI and IFA merging again would go a long way to unifying people. However the NI soccer team is such a big part of Loyalist male identity (our wee county, we're not Brazil..., sweet Norn Iron) that looks an impossible task. The FAI did break away for valid reasons. Probably the best thing is they are both such shite organisations, there will eventually be no financial choice but to field one team, have one league. But as for partitionist, I'd have RTE sport, particularly their lack of effort in trying to secure all-island rights for things like the Olympics given that most athletes from North represent the Olympic Council of Ireland.

Must be a slow day in Seafoidland.
The most partitionist thing on GAAboard is Nordies who keep harping on about "The Free State"(sic) :P

The Dáil. In the 20s a parts of Nationalists from the North went to Dublin to ask if they could be represented in Dublin. They were sent back to the North.
