Any abusive comments towards Niall McGinn or any other players or posters on here will be removed. Give your honest opinion but keep it clean.

[munn2006]

From now on, if he gets booed, be rest assured that you'll be led to believe it is because he's a Catholic...

[dotsy129]

@munn2006 Can I ask your opinion on the treatment of Neil Lennon by some Nothern Ireland fans. When I say some it was because it was only some. You sound like a reasonable enough person and thats why I ask.

McGinn; "Im a Republic of Ireland fan..." - haha! Legend.

[owensy54321]

Good onya Niall McGinn. Let your heart speak, fair balls to him. Legend. Will he ever give 100% to Norn Iron???

@tazz6190 republic of ireland is only our official name whereas we represnt the hole of ireland, you will never here an irish player, fan or commentator usin the phrase 'republic of ireland' we call ourselves ireland because we represent everyone on the island who calls themselves irish

[DaorDoBritney]

@MrHankscorpio100 dont think he got a call back, they prob didnt want him, thats what happened to Sammy, him and his family are all rep, of ireland supporters but he couldnt make team, i think its a bit unfair especially seeing how they would rather represent the south than the north :)

[MrHankscorpio100]

why did mcginn play for norn iron? the call up to the ireland team just never happen?

@mrtoptuber good comment

[NaylorWeasel]

@mrtoptuber rather unsurprisingly, the answer why there are two assiciations is down to politics. the FAI split away from the IFA in the early 20's as they felt they weren't getting equal representation from the then Belfast based IFA. Rugby, Golf, Boxing, and many other sports have 32 county non-political governing bodies, football is unfortunately different.

Also, If McGinn had said he was a fan of Brazil, spain, Germany etc noone would bat an eyelid.

no disrespect to niall mcginn but them things should just be kept to yourself. im annoyed about the fact that ni born players can choose to play for ireland. i dont find this fair at all. alot of talent will be lost and also unloyal players wanting more international succes will go over the border

[mrtoptuber]

@cluasbodhar thank you for your comment. what i find embarrassing is the fact that they claim this loyalty to the queen, yet when they were forced off their land, and moved to the north of Ireland, they as presbyterians were originally treated near as bad as the Catholics, by the Anglican British Monarch, which to this day, exempts any member in its family from the royal tree to the throne, if they are not Anglican.

how do they feel about scotland inevitable independence in the next 10 years ?
