    Britain are mad into this self determination crap with Gibraltar and the Falklands so why not let the people of NI determine for themselves who they want to be. Give them a choice between staying in the union, reunification with Ireland or independent sovereignty. In an ideal world I'd have a reunified Ireland but it dosnt bother me either way.

    It shouldn't come down to what the Irish or the Brits want. It should be a democratic decision which is upheld on both sides.

    Isn't that what the good Friday agreement was about?

    As it is we have it, the current situation suits everyone but the ignorant who are more interested in an imaginary game of capture the flag with real lives at stake to suit their egos

    We're struggling to support our own police force, let alone trying to fund £850m a year for the PSNI who need every penny they can get.

    Thankfully, for the UK they have companies such as Celtic F.C who last year contributed £51.34m to the British Exchequer to help fund such police operations

    I think you had the point? about 'epl rags'? was it just football banter or is supporting one british club morally better than supporting another?

    They're still British and contribute to the British economy in the exact same way as any EPL team or even the Queen herself

    Every little helps ;)

    Reading this thread reminds me of the guy outside Croke Park with his "No to Foreign Games" sign while wearing a Celtic trackie

    As is Scotland to Ireland.

    Surely a "true Irishman" would support an actual Irish team.

    Not this crap again.

    Queue overwhelming amount in favour of leaving things as they are because they're a bunch of lazy ignorant good for nothings who are a disgrace to their ancestors and who only care about their own lives. Don't give a toss about civil rights issues of others in this country.

    The majority of people in Ireland don't even take to the streets despite having evidence of being screwed, literally, by bankers.

    This country is a joke, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

    I bet if the UK told our government they could have back NI, along with all its expense, they'd just go "ehh..you're grand thanks"

    Don't play obtuse. You know exactly what i mean.

    England and Scotland are both different coutries to here which makes you a hypocrite for deeming people who support and EPL club as less Irish when you yourself support a foreign club alsoin the UK.

    Or

    Some of us knew people that were mindlessly butchered by murderous scumbags on both sides and we know that idealistic pipedreams and the pandering to neanderthals and criminal thugs isn't fcuking worth it!

    Doesn't it cost the UK £9 Billion a year to supplement the NI economy plus the over reliance on public sector jobs to provide employment.
    Where would we find that now ?.
