Northern Irish?[edit]

How does a person who was born in Ireland, played for Ireland and identify as Irish, get called "Northern Irish" based on modern day geopolitical terms? He was born in Belfast, when it was part of Ireland.

By Wikipedia's standards, you can see the footballer Darron Gibson, born in Northern Ireland, is still labelled a "Irish Footballer".

So a footballer born before the Good Friday agreement is called Northern Irish because his birthplace is now in Northern Ireland, but a footballer born in Northern Ireland after the Good Friday agreement, chooses Irish citizenship, and gets labelled as "Irish".

Either someone is being very biased or has done poor research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marccarran (talk • contribs) 12:56, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
