I think things escalated with the St Patricks day miracle.

They've escalated before now, and gone down again. We wait to see whether this is another of those occasions.

Ireland looking to become semi-pro to stop all the players from going to England. Anyone that says a minnow playing in the world cup and doing well doesn't accelerate their development is ignorant.

Hahahaha. Anyone saying it invariably will is far more ignorant.

Anyway, without becoming semi-pro (at least) it's a given that no-one will get anywhere. Modern merchant-banks don't work like that.

Yeah and that's the administration part, if they are smart and hold on to it than great but if not it will be one those probably. It looks like they are trying to hold on to it this time though.

Hmm no one said they invariably but using common sense(which some people needs to use) it makes you think that its a good possibility.

It's not purely a matter of administration. You cannot create interest, nor hold on to it. Some people simply take fleeting interests in "the flavour of the month".

No, it makes you think it's a possibility. No more than that.

You can influence interests, like I said it's not a matter of purely administration or the players and the games but both together.

No thats the case for most people, the others are the outcasts who thinks differently and most time are pessimists.

You cannot make someone interested in what they are not willing to be.

Hahahaha. Pessimism is wiser than optimism in most cases.

Oh indeed, but the Republic of Ireland doesn't compete as its own side - Ireland takes players from Northern Ireland as well.

My point was though, the fact the Yorkshire is not a country has little bearing on the debate at hand, because England is not a country either. Neither is Scotland, or Ireland (in the sense of the entirity of Ireland - which the cricket team claims). England is part of a country, much in the same way Yorkshire is.

yeah and why dont england compete on there on so in the olympics instead of robbing competators from wales and scotland?

Scotland and Wales aren't countries at all. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country. The Republic of Ireland is a country. I'd actually tell you why, but I've already done so in this thread, so you can either go back a few pages and have a look and read the sources I linked, or you can just throw a few smilies at me and continue to live in Disneyland.
