Revision as of 06:39, 14 September 2006 by Robdurbar (talk | contribs) (yeah, but its still true#)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)How can Northern Ireland claim to be the successor team ? They make up less than a third of the territory this team represented. It is a bit like Ukraine claiming to be the successor of the USSR. Djln --Djln 16:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not quite. The team is controlled by the same football association. And, most importantly, they are recognsied as such by FIFA --Robdurbar 17:43, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
With or without FIFA recognition this is still a very dubious claim. Djln --Djln 21:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but the articles stated 'is recognsied by FIFA as the sucessor'. This is a cold hard fact. Your, or mine, or anyone else's, opinion on this is irrelevant until we are given the role of organising world football. --Robdurbar 06:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
