Calling them Irish probably didn't do him any favours in Belfast ;)

Why? They ARE Irish. Unless I've missed something.
oh f**k me, what have you done?

Depends upon which group you are speaking to!

Its a real can of worms, in short some describe themselves as Northern Irish, others Irish and some British. It can cause a few propblems to call someone from Northern Ireland Irish who class themselves as British. Use your imagination for the reasons.

But they are all Irish as they were born in Ireland. Whether it's NornIron or the Republic it's still Ireland Some may also refer to themselves as British as an extra. In the same way as I was born in England and am therefore English, and British.

No can of worms just basic Geography.

Yes that's normal geography but in terms of what's happened here over 100's of years it does not work here. Unionists do not like the term Irish because that represents the whole island and does not recongise the border so they classify themselves as Northern Irish or British. Nationalists classify themselves as Irish as they do not recongise the border and wish Ireland to be united and without British rule

My dad was a Mayo man who came over here, lived here and fought in the war. Must say, he always regarded anything across the Irish Sea as Ireland, end of.

Anyway, Dan won't have any political views so he'll be okay....I er, think... :)

Just don't open your mouth when you're near Ivan the Liverpool fan 'my family are British, NI is in the UK, thousands of us emigrated and we'll never be Irish'. I wasn't arguing, this was a bloke who came to Old Trafford wit' Bolton fans, told the cockney reds he was a diehard LFC fan and then twatted a pub full of them when they attempted to start on him :shock:
Troll and proud of it.

Once saw something similar in the Trafford Arms. A Celtic fan walked in complete with green and yellow scarf and informed the Mancs that United were crap. Nobody argued. Mind you, he was seven feet thirteen and built like Desperate Dan. :wink:

Oh goody. How high can you piss up the wall?

I know plenty of people like Ivan, equally ignorant of their Geography, who swear blind they are English and will never be British. But that wasn't my point. To reiterate the Irish (UK and non UK) either live in Northern IRELAND or the Republic of IRELAND

Geographically, not politically, IRELAND

Tain't naught but the truth, although the whole thing is and always has been about about religion and is a bit "never ending story". I might have married my first serious girlfiend but for the fact I was Catholic of Irish descent and her father was a staunch Orangman.
