Replying To BarneyGrant: "Nationality is not complicated or "fluid." A piece of paper does not make you Irish or Japanese or Swiss." Well said Barney, anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Replying To KillingFields: "Most sports allpw players qualify on residency in some form. He qualified and i dont see why it would be better for a lesser player to be starting Gibson park or any other qualifying on residency is better than any player just rocking up because they've a granny and never spent any time living in Ireland like plenty soccer players
Nationality these days isn't as straight laced as you make out. Thigs are far more fluid. H3 was signed to play for leinsterm he stayed. Got more contracts and worked up to play for irelandm" Nationality is not complicated or "fluid." A piece of paper does not make you Irish or Japanese or Swiss.

Replying To Viking66: "Because some people just like giving out?" Not talking about fans so much - we all have our clowns - but there is huge and long standing hatred between Dublin FAI and ourselves. No idea if that is case elsewhere.
They deliberately refused to use Hill 16 on tickets when we foolishly let them in. "Northern Terrace"!!
Some may mock me, but you don't sneer at our history and expect us to be overjoyed with your occasional success!

Replying To Viking66: "Ok Barney what does make you Irish in your book? Or any other nationality?" Being born here at a minimum! Unless of Irish descent obviously.

Replying To GreenandRed: "Could be. I thought IRFU brought himself, Lowe and Bundee over as project players and put them in Leinster and Connacht squads until they were eligible for Ireland. Gibson Park, apparently, wasn't stuck for offers from top clubs before he came here." Don't think thats the case at all. Why pay a fortune for a project player? They were all good players who wanted to come here to work. Maybe part of their plan was to move here permanently and start a family. None of them were current internationals, though all 3 might have made it there if they had of stayed, they were all pretty young when they moved here.
Some lads just want to test themselves in the other hemisphere, Barrett and Ioane are here now for that reason. Leinster also pay well, think they have the highest wage bill in Europe. I doubt either will choose to stay here, although Barrett did spend part of his childhood here.

I will say however the national anthem is respected more and sang with much more gusto at soccer games than GAA games, even All Ireland final day. There is routine and normalised disrespect of the anthem at games, lads can't wait to cut it off early and feels like it's ending more prematurely by the year. Seem to be a bit better at given its due respect in Ulster games.

David Healy said last night he'd love if the Wee Province gets Ukraine away in Semi Final and then a home Final at Windsor Park.....sounds good, but if Austria and Denmark lose tonight then Austria,Denmark, Italy and Turkey into Pot 1 and Ukraine drop to Pot 2.
It's highly unlikely Austria and Denmark will lose so Pot 1 will consist of Italy, Turkey, Poland and Ukraine.
Ukraine away would be the cushy draw!

I even see it here in Donegal were I'd say a lot of soccer fans are very anti GAA, it's a weird state of mind wherever it originates.

Replying To ConyersHill04: "Mulligan from Latton is the only keeper I'd have ahead of Forde in the county." I disagree with you here I feel forde is Definatky up there with Beggan if not better, is impact to the game outfield aswel as leadership shouting on from the goal I think is hard beat.
