Michael O'Neill NEW 2 year contract

Why not join forces?

Some passion.

Igor, if you mean by 'join forces' an All-Ireland international soccer team then I would by sympathetic to that idea.

Ditto bro.

A good decision to give O'Neill a new contract. He's doing OK-ish with the sparse resources available and the team probably could do without any upheavals.

Still no to an all-island team. Most of 'our' side would still find it repellant.

Yet another NI player "calls in sick"! Used to be that playing for your "country" would be a great pain-killer. Now it looks like being "hurt" is a great excuse not to play?

The only true way forward is a united Ireland team!

I think, in fairness, a lot of players, from a lot teams around the world, don't maybe give international football enough respect. I suppose the World Cup maybe use to be the BIG THING but now most people go on about the Champions League and the Premiership in England etc.
