Bandage is the “Official” adjudicator, so I think it is his call.
Yes.
British and Irish? Huh?
It seems so, but I’ve asked for clarification in the op but none has been given.
Its the British Lions mate, just ask Stephen Ferris.
9 Irish lads on the squad.
I’ve watched some clips on youtube there and there seems to be an amount of Irish flags in the crowd during previous matches, what’s going on here?
Hard to know.
Ask fingal raven he goes to loins matches.
I’ll tell you harry- We are British. Always have been and always will be. While Liverpool are my soap opera I do realise they are a British plc… Unfortunately most Irish lads dont see this and are squaring up to each other in their English club jerseys in pubs week in week out… Fast forward a few hrs and it’s their girlfriends at it over X factor. That leads us on nicely to the fascination in this country with British celeb culture and the royal family and the Sun and red top rags and trashy mags.
Ireland and Irishness was only a notion a few poets and the like dreamed up in the late 19th/early 20th century. We have always been, and will continue to be British in our outlook and that’s why we will go into meltdown over Da Lions…

But if we don’t support an English soccerball company or xfactor or celeb culture can we be Irish then?
No.
We speak english. Export/import majority of our goods from there. We pardon soldiers who desert the Irish army for the British army. County boundries and boroughs are all British. We are ashamed of our own history and anything republican. Our judicial and political system are all a continuation of what our masters practised.
You can’t eascape your Britishness, pal. Just accept, buy a Lions jersey, and move on.
If you buy a green Lions jersey does that make a difference CM?
No.
We are British.
Fall in line.
Let it all out ChocolateMice, we are here to listen & maybe agree.
You can stick your head in the sand all you want mate.
You’ll see just how British we are in the next few years as we celebrate WW1 and piss on 16.

Ah ted, cmon!
I’m resigning from the board due to this bullying.
I can’t wait till we take on the Barbarians in Hong Kong on the first weekend in June. Nothing defines a Lions team more than playing in a country where they barely know rugby exists.
Eh, Carra’s last match tomorrow, Carra’s last match tomorrow…
