Its their anthem, they are loyal to the queen, they see themselves as british etc etc
Hold on. You said they acknowledge it in a green jersey. They did no such thing.

They play for "Ireland" and acknowledge it as their anthem. I see no problem with what I said
Acknowledge it in a green jersey? I didn't see them sing.

One reason why I think it should be played.- we won. The small nation beat the great british empire. After all the oppression we got the fcukers out of our country and became a sovereign nation.
Having the two different nationalities and anthems there-our one sung in Irish, something they tried to eradicate just signifies this and its fitting that we do it in an arena which is a symbol of our tradition and cultural heritage and one of our darkest hours. The GAA built that culture and stadium up when we couldn't participate in the foreign sports and now the foreign sports have come crawling back and need the irish sports stadium. Though the Irish men and women were turned away all those years ago from middle to upper class sports, we can now show that we are bigger than those who oppressed us, that we've moved on and have come back from that opression with one one of the strongest economies in Europe.
Welcome them in, listen to their poxy anthem about oppressing others politics and then proceed to hammer them.
That is all.
Bravo, I agree, and the way it all went down was perfect.

You're being pedantic. And besides, the camera's weren't on them, they could have been.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least if the pro jock media didn't cover it
You actually believe that they'd stand there and sing the opposing teams anthem?? Do you honestly think they have that little respect for their teammates and supporters?? Jesus wept.

Everyone I know from the North is against opening croke park.
Their are intercounty players up there who haven't set foot and that turf and you have the likes of Trimble and Best, who acknowledge GSTQ, in a green jersey.
