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)
