I’m not sure why but there’s a small band of Sheffield United fans that follow St.Patrick’s Athletic (which kills me because while I’m a Pat’s supporter now living in Dublin I was born and raised in Barnsley) sadly today is the anniversary of Chris Booth a Blade/Pat’s supporter who passed away while in Warsaw for a St. Pat’s champions league qualifier, R.I.P Chris. I’d never heard of the Derry/Blades connection but it’s weird but good how these things come about.

Does that apply to their GAA colours too?

@@BadDubII I doubt it. Billy Gillespie was a Prod playing the garrison game to the GAA. Maybe the GAA colours come from the London coat of arms on the Derry coat of arms. 😆

The Candystripes nickname also comes from Sheff Utd. It was their nickname back in the 1800s before they became the Blades (because in the early days, Sheff Weds were known as the Blades before they in turn became "The Pigs" due to their founding Chairman working in the butchery department of the local Co-op. As a side note, this is where Wednesday's blue and white stripes come from (butcher's apron) and why the name Wednesday was chosen.They played on Weds afternoons - early closing day in the city) The more recent link between Sheff Utd and St Pat's may be down to players like the iconic Del Geary (who is still working for Sheff Utd) who moved from Dublin to Bramall Lane.

@@BadDubII GAA colours are derived from the red hand of ulster, can't be just coincidence. Red had always been in the GAA jersey, though the current white shirt with red hoop only was adopted in the 1940s. I'm sure the Derry City and Derry GAA shirts are informed by the colour red in the red hand of Ulster.

Absolutely, Matthew. Football is football, and, no doubt there are those ( judging by some comments) who see it otherwise, but, personally, I’ve found the whole Irish series of vlogs as informative and entertaining. Fans from either side of that divide have equally given the poor guy a hard time, accusing him of bias. You can’t win lol !

Planters out now Even the real british don't want you planters LMAO

@@swaglad9728 Don’t be a sad little troll mate ffs.

Thank you very much Jim!

Never going to happen pal 👍🏻🇬🇧

@@johnc3177 it definitely will happen as the older generation will vanish off the earth and the progressive/non-brainwashed British wannabees will have learned that their country in the north actually belongs to the rest of the island. 😬 I'm neither Irish or British before you call me biased.

Yeah absolutely brilliant documentary . It could actually make a good movie the story of their fall and rise . The story about the bomb warning during the game the whole lot was fantastic 😃👌 . What a brilliant club

Where can you watch it

they would've mopped up in the NI league

@@ohaodhe nonsense. They won one league championship in their whole history in the Northern Ireland league before they left in 1970s.

There was nothing dubious about the reasons. The bogside was IRA controlled throughout the 70s and 80s, so how were the Police supposed to bring other ‘Unionist’ teams to the stadium without the threat of attack?

@@harrywaters7718 this current derry team would make bits of linfield, cliftonville and any other NI team

@@harrywaters7718 mate why did the British army shoot 13 civilians dead in derry,,even the shankill don't support the British army as much because they shot 2 protestants non paramilitary civilians dead, one was called archie,, his mum is stil alive, she said they wanted anyone that night, because of the rioting,,yet northern Ireland cry out for Catholics 2 play for them,,now they have loads, & women's team is full of Catholics not that it makes a difference, not everyone sees themselves Catholic,ftp

No you are

Keep content up

Merthyr Town might be a long way from their best, but they certainly haven't been forgotten - seen them play in the league here at Gosport Borough a few times and I think they'll be a decent side in the Southern League this season, albeit in the lower division. Great fight they put up against relegation from the Premier in the spring, even if they did come up just short.

You consider someone you uses a union flag to represent Northern Ireland as not being biased?

@@Mark-0O What on earth are you on about.You do realize he's a Protestant and supports Rangers .

@@Mark-0O However considering the Union Jack is the Northern flag aswell as it's part of UK what's your point.

The planters house trained the potatoes though

The place was fought over 300 years before any Plantation lads arrived. The O'Neills fought the MacDonnells over land while the population owned nothing. Don't blame the British for that.

Gerry Anderson a funny NI radio broadcaster coined the phrase Stroke City referring to the / between Derry and Londonderry. It meant if he was stopped driving back to the North West from Belfast and was stopped by the police, army or paramilitaries and they ask were he was going he said "stroke city'. Basically meant they couldn't work out if he was Catholic who would have said Derry or Protestant who would have said Londonderry.

Nice

Nah

Nope not now or ever your politicians have sold out they're globalists not nationalists and are on the eu gravy train.

For crying out loud that is never going to happen . They don’t want it 🤦🏼‍♂️ . Give over

bit early for the whiskey lol

Of course,,kids our learning irish in the 1000s getting back the native language, small start but big step, an Al Ireland poll, that's it sealed, just imagine no ruthless paramilitary gangs anymore, every man for him self

Nah the north are shite..no thanks

Yea was at the match in avivia fans mix very well .

Northern ireland is the link between Southern Ireland and Scotland seeing as it's people are a mixture of its two cultures creating a unique culture in itself.

That didn't happen lol. Scottish fans boo'd the Irish anthem and the Ireland fans were singing IRA songs. Was not a nice friendly atmosphere

@@qprfcfromthewhitecity It's going to happen when Gers fans are still by far the biggest single club represented among the Tartan Army.

Correct ireland fans and scotland fans have much respect same with the two rugby teams

Nope it's British. Come to terms with it and get over it..

Northern Ireland is British and always will be.

The official name of the country is “Ireland”. He’s absolutely correct. It’s the name lodged with the United Nations and it is the official name in our constitution. Of course, lots of Northern organisations like to claim the name only refers to the whole island and therefore we shouldn’t use it but facts beg to differ. “Rep. of Ireland” is a descriptor. Like the “French Republic” or “République Française” is a descriptor of the country called “France”.

@@Dreyno I was making the point principally that 'Ireland' means the entire Island and it's Islands, which is undeniable. Confusingly to outsiders this monicker contains two jurisdictions, namely the U.K (the region of Northern Ireland) and constitutionally 'Ireland' via the southern states constitution (Also known as the Republic and The Republic of Ireland). Mostly using the term Ireland when saying "Crossing into Ireland from Northern Ireland" sounds to most within the entirety of Ireland as weird. He's always in Ireland, even the name Northern 'Ireland' says this, the clue is in the name.

@@NintyFamily The country is Ireland. It’s in our constitution. I don’t much care if some people are confused or annoyed that the official name of the country is, simply, Ireland. That the island is also called that is an aside. It does not take precedent. It’s refreshing that this young man has learned this and uses the correct term unlike so many of his countrymen who insist on using “the Rep. of Ireland”, which, if we’re honest, is almost never used in Ireland u less referencing the football team, or even worse, “Eire”.

@@Dreyno Country= Ireland 1 state and 1 artificial statelet. Northern Ireland isn't a country either...fact, it doesn't 'officially' have it's own flag or indeed an anthem, the flag which was abolished in 1973, unlike England, Wales or Scotland over in Britain. Also we get that you are a passionate partitionist.

2 many postal votes, corruption,,did you see the old people dancing when the no vote was announced,,the rich stayed rich, now its food banks for the young families, should get it next time,, could have been vetoed out if it didn't work,, the English people were even shocked

How do you intend to remove Scotland from Britain? Dig a giant River between it and the rest of the island?

Scotland will always be in Britain you half wit, the island is named Britain😂
