If nobody identifies with the flag you've chosen for a country, what's the point? You're just making it harder to find players for national teams. Who gives a fuck about politics?
The reality is that the Union Jack is the only official flag of Northern Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flags_used_in_Northern_Ireland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_flags If you are unhappy with that I would suggest running for election or perhaps starting a revolution.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=25168&post=491970 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 22:10:44 +0200 Reply by fraac https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-25168/page-13/?recent=498278#post=491968 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=25168&post=491968 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 22:01:37 +0200 Reply by CHERRY COKE https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-25168/page-13/?recent=498278#post=491966 Quoted from Carlos Kaiser
[...] A really poor explanation, since we have a flag for UK, and a flag for it's 4 subdivisions. So it's really up to the player if they want to be identified as British, or as Scottish/English/Irish/Welsh.
Quoted from fraac
That sounds meaningless. You make flags so etf2l users can choose a country with a flag. If they choose British or Irish or European they get those flags. If they choose Northern Irish, wouldn't they want a recognisably Northern Irish flag? Garden above wanted a Northern Irish flag. Maybe if you can find someone who identifies as Northern Irish rather than British but wants the British flag I could see your point.
Ireland got it's official flag which is Union Jack. We won't add Tricolour, Ulsters flag or St Patricks Cross, just because someone identifies with them more than with the official flag: http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written_answers/1986/jul/25/flag-of-st-patrick]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=25168&post=491966 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:46:43 +0200 Reply by Ond kaja https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-25168/page-13/?recent=498278#post=491964 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=25168&post=491964 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:37:50 +0200 Reply by ashnazg https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-25168/page-13/?recent=498278#post=491961 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=25168&post=491961 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:25:20 +0200 Reply by Xacher https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-25168/page-13/?recent=498278#post=491959 Quoted from CHERRY

Shouldn't you use the Ulster flag? If someone identifies as Northern Irish rather than British or Irish, wouldn't they want their own flag?

Well that would depend on your definition of Ulster?
