The sign in white writing in the background must obviously say "come on you boys in blue".

Ireland's national colour was blue, green as Ireland's national colour is a somewhat recently invented tradition.

 

[CoopBlue]

As an aside - this tune always reminds me of PSV at home in '99.

 

[Bri RTID]

Nice colour for when they re-join the commonwealth

 

[bilkobear]

That is a very stylish shirt.

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Staunch.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Can't see many of these being spotted in the stands at the piggery.

The I.F.A was founded in Belfast by a man that had visited Scotland and was impressed by Soccer so he wrote to Queens Park I believe when he got home and asked for help starting a football club

He was sent a ball,boots and a set of blue jerseys

Stuff about St Patrick is a myth

Why is it every thread related to NI or ROI you make an arse of it?

 

[The Brigadier]

WTF’s that all about?

I thought Ireland/Dublin's colour is royal azure blue, is it not?

The Irish Football Association team played in blue - a golden harp on a blue background being the ancient flag of Ireland.

When the FAI was formed they took on the same colours.

The IFA and FAI both played in blue for a while and then the IFA (Northern Ireland) started playing in green to steal a march on "Irishness" and have stuck with it since the 50s/60s.
