northern ireland national team
 

i'm curious. has there been any history of sectarian problems on the team over the years? it seems logical that his would be possible.

Apart from the time when Neil Lennon and Anotn Rogan were booed because they played for Celtic and the singing of 'The Sash' and 'The Billy Boys', there's not much trouble. Some reform is being made. The singing of those sectarian songs have stopped and John Dallat (SDLP Assembly Member for the East Derry Constituency) wanted the team to stop the playing of 'God Save the Queen' as Northern Ireland's National Anthem (NI Fans want 'Danny Boy' to be the new Anthem). That's a brief insight to Northern Ireland's sectarian problem with regard to football.

At least we know where you're coming from now........

it was meant as as serious question. i apologize for the omagh remark. it was a joke in very poor taste

i actually have no opinion about who is right or wrong in ni. white people don't act that that in america so it is quite amazing to me that that sort of stuff could go on in a developed country like the uk

So your point is that "non-whites" act that way in America?

Ahh! Holes and stop digging, rope - enough of, come readily to mind. The moron's on a roll; don't step in the way of the runaway train...........

white people don't quarrel among themselves in america, especially over bs like catholic-protestant nonsense. that is a total non issue.

The crap that goes on in N. Ireland is why a lot of white people left to go to America.

If you read a bit of history on the subject you will come to understand Ireland's problems have very little to do with religion.
