    Have to add of course that reality will soon set in on the NI team. They actually are marginally worse then Macedonia. What happened was teams grossly underestimated them and thats why they got wins.

    Who ever claimed that they were anything special?

    the term Norn-Iron goes back to the time of George Best,Derek Dougan,Pat jennings to the martin o neill, gerry armstrong era etc when they had cracking teams.

    I actually think the whole 'Norn Iron' thing is political and petty tbh. God forbid the Unionist NI fans would have to put the word 'Ireland' in when talking about their own team:rolleyes:

    having keyed it into wiki i can confirm your spot on. the name is cool i think but its a pity it originated from petty political nonsense. i always imagined i suppose with them being weaker and all over the years that they broke away from the irish team but it is in fact the republic who are the breakaway team since the formation of the state

    The whole 'Norn Iron' thing is not political at all. Northerners, both Protestant & Catholic, frequently laugh at themselves, particularly at how their accents mangle the English language.

    Northern Ireland fans have no problem using the word "Ireland" as the most common chant at internationals at Windsor Park is "No-rthern Ire-land" (with the word 'Ireland' pronounced, for them at least, very clearly).
