Unify Ireland?

Heard a few musings on this one over some either forums so wonders what our irish contingent thought?

Could a unified Ireland football team be a worthwhile course? I would have thought making the best of both teams could see them potentially progress further

Let's not forget that the Irish rugby teams are unified so surely it's workable or are the divisions through football too much to broach?

It would just be the ROI team with a a few better subs.

Granted I couldn't tell you who from who would work but don't you think it might end up a bit stronger at least?

Outside of Aaron HUghes I can't see anyone that would offer anything tbh. Why should we unify when any NI youngster that is half decent wants to play for ROI anyway?

Can't be unified because of the politics & religious aspect of club football in the North and I think they deserve their right to have their own football team really.

It's different in rugby because it's not played by and supported by scumbags

As I said in another thread,Hughes,Davies,Evans,McAuley and maybe Lafferty would all get in the combined squad


If I was to pick a 25 man squad

GK:Westwood,Carroll,Forte

DF:JOS,Hughes,McAuley,Evans,Coleman,lafferty,St Ledger

MF:McCarthy,McGeady,Gibson,Andrews,Davis,Ryan McLaughlin,Evans,Brunt,Ferguson,Whealan

FW:Keane,Long,Paterson,Lafferty,Cox,Walters

That'd be my squad
