Angus_Young Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The Republic of Ireland was actually created by FIFA in 1953 it's the name given to the football team to distinguish them from Northern Ireland - the country's official title is 'Eire' or Ireland. So in short I'm right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gspain Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland both claimed the title "Ireland". FIFA decreed circa 1954 that Republic of and Northern be used. NI were allowed to play in the Home Championship as Ireland and did up until at least 1978. Dual players was stopped in 1950. Ironically for many northern nationalists it was the FAI who forced English clubs to stop southern players from playing for the IFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Can someone delete the absolute verbal diarrhea that has taken over this post?? First time poster, from Dublin, will be in the LL upper Friday week. Can't wait for it. Ideally would be good if fans were seperated (more noise) but not going to be the case. Looking forward to mixing it with the Scots, know a good few both here and Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) NI were allowed to play in the Home Championship as Ireland and did up until at least 1978. Indeed, my programme from 1978 is titled "Ireland v Scotland" (Irish home game played at Hampden due to The Troubles)...

Tallaght24 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 In some ways you're right, but in other ways you're not. The Irish Government established The Republic of Ireland Act in 1948 and it declares that the description of the State is The Republic of Ireland: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1948/en/act/pub/0022/print.html#sec2 Well my passport front cover says 'Éire' Ireland the two official names of the state. To note that act was overridden in effect by the British themselves during the Belfast Agreement in the title of the agreement the Irish Government used their domestic respective law name 'Government of Ireland'. Are we going to a football match or some sort of Irish historical event Friday week - this place is an eye opener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we going to a football match or some sort of Irish historical event Friday week - this place is an eye opener! Just to add Republic of Ireland Act 1948 did not change the name of the state as prescribed in the Constitution the name of this State is "Ireland" and is so prescribed by Article 4 of the Constitution. Anyway Gordon Strachan names his squad tomorrow any surprises ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
