[Northern Ireland Hibby]

These are same guys who vote no on everything.

How so? Are you assuming that they are all DUP?

If Ni football is going to grow, this has to happen. Maybe in future players wont feel the need to want to play for Dewin Seiot.

I disagree. The national game has been doing fine without it.

Lets be honest, as with everything over there this has needlessly turned into a political football. There's a beautiful wee country there with great football potential, yet only only half the population will properly get behind the national team? This is a much needed building block to bring both communities into international games. If ( or rather when) that happens the stadium will need more seats. If two Ulster counties can play a Gealic Football match and sell out Croker, a united Northern Ireland support can do the same for football.

A stadium could have been built in Belfast to attract new fans.

Of course there'll be objections... "We've played at windsor for blahddy blah years and we're not moving..." "you cant build it at the maze, the republicans will turn into a shrine blahddy blah.." "wont somebody please think about linfield blah..

As the saying goes, we must learn to live together as brothers....

That's why I want to keep politicians away from the national side and where they play. The IFA's 'Football for All' scheme was doing very well without the arseholes at Stormont sticking their noses in - those guys only ever bring division and bigotry.

I don't see what agreeing to a foolish and unwelcome government scheme has to do with 'living together as brothers' anyway.
