Fans of NI Soccer team are up in arms after a playstation game featuring them plays The Soldiers Song when they win. :D
Apologies if this is another thread somewhere
A mate was telling me about this.
It plays danny boy in the intros, but when you win it plays the soldiers song!
Old news...but further confirmation of the non existence of the North East of Ireland statelet in the greater global perspective ;D

LOL. So where did you read about this?
It's not that long ago than a Norn Iron amateur leaque representative team were invited to a tournament in either Spain of Portugal and as they lined out for their first game the soldiers song played out over the tannoy. It's not an urban myth as their manager used to work with me and he showed me the video of it.
It could be worse. We could be wetting our panties every time we are referred to as a "home nation" in the Brit media ;D

No doubt you are all chuffed that someone thinks you are a nation.

At least they got something right ;)

Well I suppose it is shorter than saying "home two thirds of a province" (and one in which people in two thirds of the area want you closed down). :P
It's in the Derry Sentinel. It's not old news either, though it has happened before with another game. It's on the official Euro 2008 game, Gregory Campbell is quoted in the paper welcoming the apology and saying maybe it's the only time Norn Iron fans want the team to lose the final. It happens when your team lifts the trophy.

World Cup 1982 in Spain. I think v. Honduras...the statelet's flag on the electronic scoreboard was none other than the true flag of all Ireland.

At least the 1/3 of the flag represented them!

Speaking personally, none of it represents me.

Maybe - I don't know. No-one who sits near me does it so I haven't been able to ask. It seems to come from the Kop and next to nowhere else in the ground. Thankfully the culprits are a dieing breed.
