M Brook Think you'll find that folk from Ulster consider themselves Irish. Some consider themselves Brits as well but not all.

The majority consider themselves British. It underpins the good Friday agreement and while this majority is in place it will remain part of the United Kingdom.


Indeed - I am sure the majority do. But that wasn't the point I was making. I have many friends from Northern Ireland who are stauchly pro-British and consider themselves as British as I am. But they also consider themselves Irish (especially during the 6 Nations!).

So, they sing the Soldier's song and wander around with Tricolours emblazoned on their chests?

Anyway, they don't play Britain, they play home nations. If there was a British team that played a solely ROI team, their allegiances may be slightly different.
