British Home Championship At the time, the football associations of each Home Nations (The Football Association (England), the Scottish Football Association, the Football Association of Wales and the Irish Football Association) had slightly different rules for football, and when matches were played the rules of whoever was the home team were used.

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. In practice, this meant that the northern team was free to choose players from both parts of Ireland for all international matches because the northern team did not meet opposition from outside the home countries until 1951. www.englandfootballonline.com /App/AppIrelnd.html   (1543 words)

There was talk of a British football team to be entered into the olympics, but that has never transpired. sportsfilter.com /comments.cfm/1127   (444 words)
