| "Four Nations tournament" - something wrong with this phrase. |

Northern Ireland is not a 'nation' it is a province! Technically, got to be incorrect.
Celtic Cup or something along those lines, is more appropriate. However, how 'Celtic' would the average Northern Ireland supporter feel?  |

| Nor is the Republic of Ireland a proper nation. |

Another wildly innacurate posting.
The Republic of Ireland IS a proper nation and I'm sure most people of that little nation would agree with me. It is a normal member of the UN and the EU and, as such, is just an ordinary nation.
There is nothing that distinguishes the Republic of Ireland as being a non-normal nation from nations such as France or Germany or Luxembourg.
Saying that it isn't a proper nation is just strange and not a good advertisement for the once-great Scottish education system.

Anyway, back to the football.
Why is everyone getting so excited about a Celtic League?
All the English have to do is set up a Germanic League, and we'd be competing with our fellow Germanic peoples - Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and maybe Austria.
Much better than a Celtic League.
Why watch Northern Ireland VS Scotland when you can watch England VS Holland or Germany VS Denmark?

Debatable on the province thing given three of Ulster's counties were lost at Partition. Northern Ireland has its own legal system. In some ways it has a better claim to nationhood than Wales. Anyway, hopefully people will focus on the football and not constitutional politics when this starts up. |

William is correct in what he says Ulster was traditionally 9 Counties.
However the best way to keep politics out of football would be for (Island of) Ireland quite simply to be represented in a Celtic style cup competition.
