Are Catholic boxers born in Belfast considered Irish/Northern Irish

where did u get that rationale from:huh.... there is no nationality called northern irish.... its either irish r british.... and if ur a nationalist from the north ur irish... if ur a unionist from the north ur british.:good

 

i took the short cut and double listed them btw. it is a bit gay tho. i was talking geography not sectarianism. and yes i understand if its all ireland then they are irish. i get that. sometimes i think its a shame northern ireland cant just be its own country and not part of either.

 

how can you possibly come to that conclusion when there are no unionist world champs, they cant fight for **** plus nearly all the gyms in the north are nationalist run

 

I didn't say there was a nationality called Northern Irish and I agree with what you are saying but the purpose of the thread I was refering to, (Lukevader's World Champions thread), is to list world champions from Britain and Ireland. Unless he knows each individual boxers preference it is easier to list fighters from the 6 counties as Northern Irish, just like Boxrec do : http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Category:Northern_Irish_World_Champions

 

As predicted, this thread is now declining into a load of nonsense

 

as usual when fra appears

 

What Is McCullugh? I know he was from a protestant area but tis very close to a Catholic one.

Like Big J said these threads all was turn out bad.

 

Are you sure about that? I'm talking about geographically, see my reply to Fra's post, this is how Boxrec list them. I don't want to get into the whole Unionist and Nationalist debate. If I was listing Irish world champs I would use the heading "Irish", and then break this down into fighters from the Republic and the North. I suppose a better way to say it is "fighters from Northern Ireland" and not "Northern Irish fighters" if that makes any sense.

 

mccullough is as orange as mandarins, his wife family are extremely loyal, ever read his book?????

he said going out for the olympic final all that was going through his head was him standing on the podeum with aran na bhian (spelling) playing and it put him off big time .................*****

 

When i was in rehab in london i met a guy from northern ireland who converted to islam to avoid alcohol.

Sure enough, he relapsed, caused a fight and got arrested in belfast.

On his way into prison they asked him ''ORANGE OR GREEN''.

He looked at the guard, gave him a big friendly smile and said ''Salaam Alaikum brother! I am neither, for i am a Muslim.''

''Well, wa alaikum salaam'', said the guard. ''pleased to have you here sir.''

''NOW ARE YUUUU A GREEN MUSLIM OR A ORANGE MUSLIMMMMM!!!!!!!!''

 

thats shocking

 

I haven't read the book might pick it up is it a good read? I always thought McCullough just used the whole Republic thing to launch his career in the US.

****ish thing to say especially going on to use the Irish fans again to launch his career.

 

erm...it didnt really happen. he was telling a joke.

 

knew this thread would be full of english people talking ****

the answer to your question is...they are irish

ps can somebody please straight up ask carl frampton what he considers his nationality to be?

 

Would you not fúck off eh!?
