QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 17 2012, 05:05 PM)  Norn Iron's part of Britain dear sir. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not Great Britain. I always thought NI people chose their citizenship as either British or Irish? Could be wrong. As for coaches, we have had a lack of very excellent coaches, that's for sure. From the 60s until the 80s we had some truly amazing ones. The last decade has been disappointing, though a few young coaches are coming through like Rogers and Lambert who did very well at Swansea/Norwhich, let's see how they do at Liverpool/Villa with the bigger pressure. |

Not really important but something I only recently thought of. I think it's cool that the home nations do have their own stadium. England have Wembley, Scotland have Hampden, Wales have the Millenium Stadium, etc. Is this the case for another nation?

Yes and no. Austria has the Ernst Happel Stadium, Romania the Arena Națională and France has Stade de France. But that's about it, not many nations have a home stadium just for their team.

Hampden is actually the home of Queens Park which happens also to be used for national matches too. Don't think Wembley is used for any other league football or ongoing events? |

Part time club in the same division as Rangers. SFA (wankbags that they are) are based at Hampden and Scotland matches are played at Hampden but QP do indeed own Hampden. |
