    If you want to be an **** Solaris ill be equally pedantic with you but at least factually correct.

    Frampton cannot be British. He can only be Northern Irish or "Irish".

    Northern Ireland is not a part of Britain. It is part of the United Kingdom. The UK is made up of Great Britain and Northern Ireland respectively.

    A Northern Irishman can fight for the commonwealth title as a right, but for a British title on a technicality.

    Mike Perez wasn't Irish til he lost though! He was a self proclaimed Irish heavyweight who the Irish were trying to claim apparently

    Just like Frampton wasn't totally British til it became belatently obvious to your public that he was a world class talent.

    Same as usual then

    I seriously have to wonder what Solaris' anti-Irish agenda is though..It can't be just simple trolling because what would he get out of trolling the Irish? I think he must have latent shame at his Irish ancestry because he has ginger hair or something.

    By the way the "racist" tag is quite hilarious Solaris, thanks for that mucker :good

    I actually have to ask though, what the hell is peoples problem with having anything to do with Ireland when it comes to boxing?

    Ricky Burns literally had to take to twitter to explain why he had a tricolour on his shorts against Figeuroa because he was getting so much criticism for it.

    his response, needless to say, was classy and humble

    "Anybody who knows me, knows why"

    Have a look at the definition of the word, AND.

    Then educate yourself.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm from Northern Ireland and I'm British. We are eligible for both British and Irish passports. In all likelihood Frampton will see himself as being British and Irish but firstly Northern Irish. People here prefer to keep this **** out of sport.

    My public? What exactly is my public? :blood
    I'm neither British nor Irish and I thought that was quite obvious by now. Just a bloke out of a country with little to no boxing history who follows boxers from all around the globe, wich includes the UK and ireland.

    Brenny I've been to England loads of times and always felt welcome. Similarly at a few fights met loads of English over for various fights in Dublin and they love it and the rivalry simply doesn't exist. It's just the odd troll that is it. tiz all good :good

    Why would we want anything to do with you? With any luck you'll take NI back.
