  1. Excellent stuff indeed. Funny how Northern Ireland are referred to as "Ireland".

    The date of the game is at the same time changes were taking place within the whole of Irish football. Some details below.

    Summary

    1880 – IFA founded in Belfast, representing all of Ireland ("Ireland")

    1921 – FAI founded in Dublin, representing Southern Ireland ("Irish Free State")

    1936 – FAI begins also selecting Northern players ("Ireland"/"Éire")

    1946 – FAI stops selecting Northern players ("Republic of Ireland" as of 1954)[3]

    1950 – IFA stops selecting Southern players ("Northern Ireland" as of 1954)[3]

     

  2.  

    I remember Birmingham supporters being asked weather they wanted cup glory or survival. To a man they wanted to see their team win a trophy. Where is the fun in fighting to stay in an over inflated league, playing dour football in order to stay in an over inflated league.

    Whether

  3. Great question a real catch 22. Like has been said, win the cup and that team become legends , written into the history books. Get relegated and it can be a long long way back.

     

    Wigan a couple of seasons ago look at them now.

     

    Birmingham City won the league cup, first trophy in their history and were relegated the same season. They played and lost 3-0 to West Brom the weekend after winning the cup ( probably still hungover) Thise 3 points meant West Brom stayed up instead of Birmingham.

     

    The list goes on...

     

    Think I'd still rather the clubs name on the trophy though.

  4. Just back from the ground. There is no planned indirection as the pitch is fine and they don't anticipate this changing in the next few hours. all roads surroundung the ground are fine, although Murano St is slightly tricky.

  5. We now play Dundee United twice in 7 days & St Johnstone twice in 8 days, can't beat variety to boost the crowds.

     

    We have 8 games between 30th January and 2nd of March (maybe 9 if Utd take us to a replay) going to put a hell of a strain on our squad

    But there is an extra day in February this year.
