I always fouind it quite humerous that loyalists adopted the Red hand of Ulster as their symbol!

Adopted? More like hijacked, Goat ... but, then again, they proved themselves very good at that during the UWC strike in the early  Seventies

Holly aged 7 from Kent ignited the rath of our-wee-country (sic) a few years ago. Cant remember what though, maybe a Blue Peter thing?

One poster made one post. End of. A bit silly all the same.


Lies, damn lies. One post my hoop!  This is the sort of shit you lot pull to deflect embarassing situations that arise from the OWC website. Nifan is closer to the true number but it was more than 5 people who said nasty things about holly and her parents, of the top of my head I can recall that holly was told that she needed to learn some manners and her parents parenting skills were brought into question and all because she didnt include the six! Shame.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

You're obviously only a wee lad. Loyalists/Unionists whatever almost universally thought of themselves as Irish before the troubles. The polarisation caused by the mayhem hardened attitudes among many and this is not as common now. No reason to give up on symbols long held dear all the same even though the idea of "Irishness" has be re-defined by some for the worse.

All this confusion around anthems/symbols should make us all come to the only true conclusion.  A united team. ::)

(for the owc lot)  Just imagine how many friendlies we would win if we could add Paul McShane and Andy Reid to our squad.  We'd be unstoppable.
it's 'circle the wagons time again' here comes the cavalry!

I've also seen Lee Dixon and Alan Shearer (during Match of the Day coverage of international games) regularly refer to Northern Ireland as 'Ireland'... outrageous!

I reckon Davis would be the only one anywhere near a United Ireland shirt (even though he probably wouldn't want to play for a United team). Everyone else wouldn't really cut it, I don't think. Even Healy, who looks a bit crap in the Premiership. Lafferty would be one for the future. Clingan wouldn't touch the u20's.

Virtually every player starting for Ireland would walk into the 6 county team.
