Clash, foreign to where? Ireland? Players from Ulster foreign? Ulster, the most rebellious province against English rule and most Irish of all the 4 provinces. The province which is the cradle of religion on the island, whose clans gave Cromwell and Elizabeth I their fiercest battles on this island but who were betrayed by other 'Irish' Chieftains. The fact that Ulster could not be subdued unlike The Pale around Leinster led to the Plantation of Ulster. Go and read your history son.

The same Queens shilling that went into European Union coffers for decades of which the Republic has been the biggest benefactor? UK pounds have built a lot of roads and infrastructure in the South as well as oiling the pockets of the corrupt political gombeens there. Your turn Duffy!

Cromwell? father of republicanism, although he was a bit harsh with the loyalists at Drogheda and other places.

And their only crime, like Owen Roe and the rest, loyalty to the monarch.

Mikey

The GFA enshrined the Irish identity of anyone born on the island and is valid in international law. It's why FIFA & UEFA came down the side of the FAI on the passports row. Anyone denying an Irish citizen born in the 6 counties their nationality and identity is going against international law so it looks like you are stuck with us big bad Nordies...................FOREVER.......................AND.....................EVER....................AND EVER. Anyway the arguement shouldn't be about the six counties and the most Irish of all provinces Ulster, it should be about Dublin, the Pale and other parts of Leinster who want to rejoin the British Commonwealth. They are far more Unionist and British than the DUP & Tories, now that's a real laugh.
