Sorry Allan, "Norn Iron" is not a country and never will earn that status, as it does not have the necessary criteria to be one. It exists as an administration unit(ruled by a foreign power),that at best can be described as a region, within a real country called Ireland. Unfortunately this country called Ireland was cruelly partitioned in 1922. You can support whomsoever you please, but the Irish supporters, in both the north and south of the country, will not be losing any sleep over it.
Being from NORTHERN IRELAND and opposed to players from Northern Ireland playing for just Ireland (a foreign country) I am over the moon Ireland lost against South Africa. I support everyone whom plays against Ireland. I am offended at having to listen to a IRA and terrorist song (the soldiers song) prior to any game. It is a bit like playing a Nazi song to a bunch of Jews people after world war II. Would they be offended? Yes so why do the same to protestant players from Northern Ireland? How about playing an al-queda song at ground zero in New York City? Common sense should give everyone with a brain the obvious answer.
