pints you seem a right cranky hoor! :D
Ye nordies get upset over the smallest things
It's not the nordies getting worked up over the name of some day.

No you lot get worked up about when the southern state is called Ireland .
Hardly worked up, just point out how stupid it is and only a dip shit would refer to part of the country as "Ireland"

Well call a vote and call your part of the Island what ever the hell you like but down here in Ireland I'm happy enough to call it Ireland.
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

What is wrong with you, apart from the obvious that is?

For me Ireland is Ireland - whether you are in Co Kerry or Co Antrim. I'd treat all people that live on the island as Irish although you'll have a minority in the 6 counties who will never acknowledge themselves as Irish only ever as Northern Irish or British but sure thats their own loss isn't it.

I'd say that's the way sensible people look at it, whatever their nationality and whereever they live

Sure it's a fact that nobody can deny. In Mayo its St.Stephens day or sometimes Wren Day ("Wran Day"), you would probably get spit on in Mayo for calling it Boxing Day. Counldn't believe my ears when a friend told me he saw a GAA club up in Belfast with a sign advertising GAA Boxing Day fundraising a few years back.

Its the countries name FFS, look Bunreacht na hEireann and you will see its Ireland or Eire, the Republic of Ireland is a soccer team not a country and the Irish Free State does not exist anymore. Stick to the facts.

Irleand has 32 counties, not the 26 you're talking about.  It doesnt even make sense. I don't care what sell outs and dip shits think. 

Btw, you'd get spat on in Mayo for referring to the 26th December as boxing day?  That's funny. Where were all you true Irish boys when there were real causes to fight for?

It'd be Stephen's Day around my part of the country, it's only boxing night after the disco in the early hours of the next day  ;D - drinking all day doesn't agree with some people and then the rows start!!!
