		International Football Association Board, which has had charge of the Laws of the Game since its founding in 1882, the Belfast association insisted on using "Ireland" as the name of its national team and on choosing players from the entire island of Ireland.
		Over the objections of the Dublin association, the British football associations and FIFA yielded and allowed the Belfast association to select players from anywhere in Ireland, including the southern part, for matches against the home countries, although restricting selection for other matches to players from the north.
		Furthermore, that is also the dividing line chosen by the Football Association in the most recent history of the England team, and since our primary interest is the English national team, we see no reason not to follow the F.A. on this.

		The International Football Association Board (IFAB) may possess a proud reputation as having preserved the foundations of the game as it enters a third century, but there are still a few things about the way football was once played that might raise a few eyebrows...
		Football associations and federations sprang up all over the world and in May 1904, FIFA was founded in Paris with seven original members: France, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain (represented by Madrid FC), Sweden and Switzerland.
		Balanced so football’s world governing body needed the support of half the original associations to approve a change, while being able to block a proposal alone, it was felt the Board would retain its necessary conservatism while maintaining a progressive attitude to the game.

		BLATTER: Absolutely, we have a meeting of the International Football Association Board, who are the guardians of the laws of the game, and we'll pay tribute at the same time to British, and especially English, football for having organized Association Football.
		Football is hope for so many people around the world and it's why our slogans for this year are "Our game is fair play" and "Let's be the fair play family."
		Another big topic at the moment is the fact that international players can effectively play for other countries now as long as they've been resident there for a certain period of time and they haven't played for their own country.

	Time running out for silver goal
		Earlier this year, the International Football Association Board, the game's ultimate law-making authority, ruled that silver and golden goals are an unfair way of deciding matches which finish level at the end of 90 minutes.
		In 1996 they lost the first major international tournament to be decided by sudden-death when a 95th-minute goal from Oliver Bierhoff gave Germany a 2-1 victory in the Euro 96 final.
		When the International Board abolished the method last spring, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said: "Penalties might not be the best way either, but at least both teams have an equal chance and until someone comes up with something better, this is the method we will use again in the future."

		The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has recently provided a new interpretation of where a foul has occurred when there has been no direct contact or when the contact has occurred off the field of play.
		The IFAB now instructs that all such infringements are to be punished where the contact occurs or would have occurred if the action had been successful, provided this location is on the field of play.
		Simply removing the jersey in a momentary emotional reaction to scoring a goal should not be treated as misconduct unless doing so excessively delays the restart of play or is performed in such a manner that, in the opinion of the referee, it taunts, provokes, or incites opponents.
