It's not really weird mate, if they come from a Republican background it is expected. They are programmed to hate us. dougie76, Bristol loyal and CoatbridgeBear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise we're talking about boxers based in Northern Ireland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the Olympics it seems to be all Ireland but @bluedylan might be the man to answer your question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing comes under an All Ireland umbrella that is why boxers like Shankill Road guy Wayne McCullough represented Ireland at the Olympics as have many from Northern Ireland.Swimming Hockey Rugby and Gymanastics I believe have one governing body as well. sandyinroyalblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains the lack of respect when nationalists refuse to show respect. I'm surprised there's aren't more separated sporting bodies, because, for a community that doesn't want to be lumped in with Irish unity, they seem happy enough being represented as one country in all sports other than football. Strange. bluedylan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. The IFA was formed in Belfast and is one the oldest associations in the world that is why the FAI was set up ...those fuckers did not want to recognise anything in Northern Ireland.

I get that, but there should be more separation. All Ireland creates a vision of a united island and one country, which it most certainly isn't.

Yeah I am with you for example Irish Rugby team play in Dublin the Ulstermen in the team stand for the Soldiers Song but on one of the rare occasions Ireland played in Belfast no anthem was played!

Now I cheer on any team who's playing against them. I actually got abuse on here for slating them too?. bluedylan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
