Only irrational GAWA would support the Republic


Losing the World Cup Play-Off to a disputed penalty goal was a gut-wrenching experience for Northern Ireland fans. The faithful supporters who returned from Basel earlier this week might have expected to come home to a country commiserating with its team and reflecting on its achievements, through regional TV, radio and newspapers.

Instead they were faced with provocative demands to back the Republic in its play-off match against Denmark and accusations of sectarianism, based on information that was at least a generation out of date.

The Green and White Army weren’t surprised. They’re used to facing ill-disguised hostility, ignorance and a lack of empathy from sections of the media, including public service broadcasters, whose remit is supposed to be Northern Ireland alone.

The supporters’ hurt feelings are understandable, but do some of their critics have a point? For instance, should Northern Ireland fans show more generosity and cheer on the country country to their south?

The question not only completely misunderstands the nature of football rivalry; it willfully ignores recent history between the two teams and the current situation as regards player eligibility.

Under highly controversial FIFA rules, the Republic of Ireland is entitled to pick footballers from across the island, and for a number of years its governing body, the FAI, has aggressively recruited young players who are already in the Northern Ireland youth setup.

The consequences are easy to understand and add up to a very simple equation. If the Republic team performs more successfully than Northern Ireland, the share of media attention it commands will increase (particularly north of the border) and players and spectators will head south.

When journalists. politicians and other commentators pompously demand that the Green and White Army supports its neighbours in a World Cup play-off, they’re asking fans to do something that’s blatantly detrimental to their team. More than that - no-one who genuinely has Northern Ireland’s interests at the forefront of their mind could possibly back the Republic in such a critical game.

They might have other motives for making that decision, but the welfare of the IFA’s team is not one of them.

Why should supporters act irrationally, against their own interests, just because people who want to prove their own worthiness, and in whose lives football is usually just a minor background noise, say they should? Is it any wonder the GAWA reacts to this chatter with utter disdain?

My Bitcoin Investment  Experience. 
No doubt Bitcoin has been the trend of today and it's doing a lot in the world of business because people prefer saving  up money in their wallets rather than banks,   I lost about  $54,000 USD last summer due to the fall in the price of bitcoins. A colleague at work who knew my ordeal on bitcoin savings  introduced me to a platform  (cryptoforex345.com)  where I can save and invest my bitcoins with more than 100%  profit  margin.  At first I was skeptical about it so I decided to try it out with just a few dollars. I was amazed after 12 hours I earned more than 50% additional dollars  and I was able to make an instant withdrawal and ever since I have been investing and making more money.  Bitcoin investment with cryptoforex345.com  has changed my life as I have made over $176,000 USD. You can sign up and earn at:          
https://cryptoforex345.com   or  contact  info@cryptoforex345.com for more details.
Note: NO REGISTRATION FEE, NO UPFRONT PAYMENT.Enjoy endless possibilities.
FOREX INVESTMENT I never believed my life will change in such a manner, i saw a review on a page about Mr Carlos signals and strategies and before then i have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because i think i was so wise and never want to be cheated, but when i contacted him and he explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit i can make within a week i was convinced to give a trial and why i risked to invest $500 was because i don't need to send him the money but to create and fund my trading account all by myself and give him the access to manage my trading account and after one week i made a withdrawals of $10,000, please i am very happy to introduce all my friends and family to invest in themselves and there family. Cryptocurrency investment is taking over Gold and this is the best time to invest. If you are new to crypto currency investment is suggest you contact Mr Carlos on Telegram : @IEBINARYFX (https://t.me/joinchat/WQVGEi264u2_j21l)or

I thought I had lost my money when I could not withdraw but after some time, I saw lots of testimonials of how people got their money back through financialcredence.com I made up my mind to give them a try and believe me, it was really what I was looking for, an extremely trustworthy experience I had with them. In just a week, they helped collect my money.
