    I thought Great Britain referred to Wales, Scotland & England. Could be wrong though.

    How I understand it...

    Great Britain is the name of the island with those three countries on it. (Incidentally the "great" is there to distinguish it from "lower Britain" - or Brittany where British people also used to live and also because largest of British isles)

    United Kingdom includes N.I. but people from N.I. can still call themselves "British" even though they're technically not from Britain and most don't call themselves British.

    So yeah, N.I. is not part of Britain technically, but people from there can call themselves British.

    Same.

    Why you would want to call yourself British is beyond me though, especially over the last few years <laugh> Nothing to be proud of.

    Did you design the backstop? Ireland (Republic) is nothing to do with the UK.

    According to the 2011 census in Northern Ireland-

    876,577 consider themselves British
    533,085 consider themselves N Irish
    513,390 consider themselves Irish

    Protestants have overwhelmingly always considered themselves British.

    Brendan Rodgers isn't a protestant.

    Not sure what that's got to do with it. Catholics also identify as British. Before the Good Friday agreement they were all British now they have a choice.

    which is why the dup have seen the brexit referendum and resultant chaos as ideal to seal that border and ensure there will never be a vote on anything.

    protect the union. ignore the decimation they will bring as it won't affect their guild halls and public service jobs.

    ni has three of the prime tourist destinations in the uk... London obviously has a lot more and there's certain things about but then the foreign dimes.come to pay they want to see the titanic, game of thrones and the causeway.

    if you back to shooting cos of brexit even with a few scum bags doing it the damage will be massive.


    anyway enough of politics. Rodgers is more egotist and twat than anything else.

    You basically said if it was ok before there were any rules then it's ok after. Astro pointed out that's not how rules work. He was right.

    Rule changes to suit the cartel is what I said.
    Why not bring in a rule that teams who wear blue cannot win the league?
    You probably think that's fair too.

    yeah but that is because Ireland has always been the whole island where Rugby is concerned unlike pretty much everything else.
