    You said that the Irish athletics team and the hockey team "plays as one" that is not the case. As I pointed our some play for the UK so the issue is that you are wrong on that count, I was just pointing out your inaccuracies.
    You're being disingenuous. They are 32 county sports. The fact that people in six of those counties have another choice doesn't change that.

    I was just pointing out that he was incorrect in what he was saying, no more no less.

    He is an Irish man. How can you be so confused about something so simple? Were you too young to vote when we decided all this? Again.

    It is simple for most people. I myself am Irish.

    Rory has self-identified as Irish, Northern Irish, and British.....not so simple for him. Which I understand given he grew up in the North. So why bother with the Olympics and all the confusion....

    He wasn't. Unless you were trying to be pedantic and even then it's a stretch. 'Plays as one' means the team is drawn from both jurisdictions as if they were one. Not sure what other way you can read it.

    It is quite simple for him. He's been that way since birth. I find it's only some 'Irish' people who have problems understanding it.

    Many of the Athletes and hockey players from the six represented the UK , so I don't see how they are playing "as one" when they are representing the UK.

    Seems lots of people don’t read the charter and we already have a Rory thread.
