Visits to snooker.org from Northern Ireland will come under the UK.
The Northern Ireland Open is part of the “Home Nations” series. Despite being on the island of Ireland it’s not really an ‘Irish’ tournament.
Ireland should have a tournament of its own.
so Alex Higgins and Mark Allen aren't Irish now?
Irish in the sense of being from the island of Ireland, yes
Irish in the sense of citizenship of the country of Ireland , no.
so why wouldn't a tournament being from the island of Ireland be Irish?
you guys should go to WST and tell them Alex Higgins and Mark Allen aren't Irish then see how everyone will laugh at you
and tell Eurosport the Northern ireland open isn't Irish LMAO it's the "island of Ireland open"
It would be Irish in being related to the country of Ireland. Which is what the OP was explicitly discussing. In that regard it is Northern Irish; hence the name northern Ireland open and being part of the home nations series.
I'm sure ES and WST are already aware of these basic facts.
yeah so what's the issue with it being in Northern Ireland then? it's still in Ireland
i ask the same question to Pink Ball which he sneakily did not answer to
am I not a British citizen because I'm black even though I was born in London? or do I have to be white to be "proper British"?
