🇬🇧➡️🇮🇪 WHY HAS THIS CLUB REPRESENTED TWO NATIONS?! - Derry City Football Club

- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2022
- Derry City Football Club have a really interesting history. Although they're located within Northern Ireland, they play in the league system of the Republic of Ireland.
The history of Derry/Londonderry is very complicated and has impacts on the football club to this date. The supporters of the club are mostly Catholic and thus relate more to the League of Ireland Premier Division teams.
They've represented the IFA and FAI in UEFA competitions. The men's and women's teams even play in different countries!

Just got back from a week in Northern Ireland. Two days in Belfast , one in Bushmills and Giants Causeway. Finished off in Derry for two nights. Derry was my favourite place ,bags of history and great pubs. You made this Welshman very welcome. Glad to see a lasting peace.
Your explanation and appreciation of the complex Irish history is excellent. To see an Englishman go to such effort in explaining the complex history of us Irish is commendable - well done,
a literally quite explosive topic explained with great sensitivity an without getting too much politics into it… really wondered how you would manage that.
but hats off to you, Very well done. 👍
the spirit of the people in derry really represents ireland, makes me delighted to be an irishman
I agree. Those Derrys Walls who held back James and the rebels with heart and hand and sword and shield make me delighted to be Ulster man from Northern Ireland, on the island of Ireland and part of the UK🇬🇧 ☘️
@@ML-bu3lz typical brits, hate to see a proud irishman
@@ML-bu3lz who's James?
@@ML-bu3lz yes you're an Englishman
@@ML-bu3lz Ulster is also in the republic 😂
Derry City fact you missed. The colours they play in came from Sheffield United.
Billy Gillespie an Irishman who played nearly 500 games for The Blades became Derry City manager and adopted Sheffield United's red and white stripes black shorts for Derry. The Candystripes as they're known in Derry❤🤍❤. Up The Blades⚔ and up The Candystripes🇮🇪👍
I’m not sure why but there’s a small band of Sheffield United fans that follow St.Patrick’s Athletic (which kills me because while I’m a Pat’s supporter now living in Dublin I was born and raised in Barnsley) sadly today is the anniversary of Chris Booth a Blade/Pat’s supporter who passed away while in Warsaw for a St. Pat’s champions league qualifier, R.I.P Chris.
I’d never heard of the Derry/Blades connection but it’s weird but good how these things come about.
Does that apply to their GAA colours too?
@@BadDubII I doubt it. Billy Gillespie was a Prod playing the garrison game to the GAA. Maybe the GAA colours come from the London coat of arms on the Derry coat of arms. 😆
The Candystripes nickname also comes from Sheff Utd. It was their nickname back in the 1800s before they became the Blades (because in the early days, Sheff Weds were known as the Blades before they in turn became "The Pigs" due to their founding Chairman working in the butchery department of the local Co-op. As a side note, this is where Wednesday's blue and white stripes come from (butcher's apron) and why the name Wednesday was chosen.They played on Weds afternoons - early closing day in the city)
The more recent link between Sheff Utd and St Pat's may be down to players like the iconic Del Geary (who is still working for Sheff Utd) who moved from Dublin to Bramall Lane.
@@BadDubII GAA colours are derived from the red hand of ulster, can't be just coincidence. Red had always been in the GAA jersey, though the current white shirt with red hoop only was adopted in the 1940s. I'm sure the Derry City and Derry GAA shirts are informed by the colour red in the red hand of Ulster.
Entertaining and educational at the same time. As always you're doing an excellent job Sam.
Love your trip to Ireland Sam💚. Hope your back for many more games both North and South👍
The sooner Northern Ireland unite with the rest of Ireland and leave the sinking ship that is Britain, the stronger the island of Ireland will be both on and off the pitch. Good luck Derry! 🔴⚪
You'd be fucked without British money.
Never going to happen pal 👍🏻🇬🇧
@@johnc3177 it definitely will happen as the older generation will vanish off the earth and the progressive/non-brainwashed British wannabees will have learned that their country in the north actually belongs to the rest of the island. 😬 I'm neither Irish or British before you call me biased.
Well done. Great video and politically well done. You tackled a very difficult subject today. Congrats.
Thank you very much Jim!
I'm from Derry and loved this video. The first one I've seen. Keep up the good work. SUBSCRIBED !
Thanks for another great video Sam and for dealing with a sensitive topic in a professional way.
Brother, you did a sterling job. To keep it apolitical is fantastic, for both sides. I'm a Unionist, but it is good to have this non-biased approach to history, well done and keep it up. Loving the content atm. God bless.
Absolutely, Matthew.
Football is football, and, no doubt there are those ( judging by some comments) who see it otherwise, but, personally, I’ve found the whole Irish series of vlogs as informative and entertaining.
Fans from either side of that divide have equally given the poor guy a hard time, accusing him of bias.
You can’t win lol !
Planters out now
Even the real british don't want you planters LMAO
@@swaglad9728 Don’t be a sad little troll mate ffs.
@@theduck4382 I'm not trolling though
Have you been to Britain? You planters are just Irish to the actual British
You are not British to them
They literally don't want nor care about you lot
You actually think they value you?
How so?
Couldn’t help mentioning you’re a unionist eh?
Talking politics without being political is a gift 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the local football, very interesting. Keep it up!
Great educational and fascinating content as per usual Sam! Keep it up! 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!! Lots more coming soon!!
@HHH Football Vlogs bray are shite
You're an absolute credit to the English and a gentleman, welcome in Ireland anytime!
Brilliant stuff Sam 👍
Loving the videos from over there.
This is an incredible video. You done your research and you did an excellent job talking about Derry. You were sensitive but you didn't bullshit. It was great.
I'm not a city fan, it's up to them to tell you how you did but I'd urge you, in 2023, go to Richmond Park in Inchicore, Dublin 8. 🔴⚪
Derry applied to the NI league countless times in the 80s but we're denied entry for various dubious reasons. They had no choice to join the ROI league and it worked out very well.
they would've mopped up in the NI league
@@ohaodhe nonsense. They won one league championship in their whole history in the Northern Ireland league before they left in 1970s.
There was nothing dubious about the reasons. The bogside was IRA controlled throughout the 70s and 80s, so how were the Police supposed to bring other ‘Unionist’ teams to the stadium without the threat of attack?
@@harrywaters7718 this current derry team would make bits of linfield, cliftonville and any other NI team
@@harrywaters7718 mate why did the British army shoot 13 civilians dead in derry,,even the shankill don't support the British army as much because they shot 2 protestants non paramilitary civilians dead, one was called archie,, his mum is stil alive, she said they wanted anyone that night, because of the rioting,,yet northern Ireland cry out for Catholics 2 play for them,,now they have loads, & women's team is full of Catholics not that it makes a difference, not everyone sees themselves Catholic,ftp
Enjoy Sligo my man! As I commented on Ur notts county/forest video as I live here, but have been to Sligo and their ground the showgrounds, it is amazing! Great place, ps up the rovers and Forza Rovers!👌
Derry is a great city. Enjoy your time there.
Excellently explained and if anyone gets offended from any terminology you have used that's on them because its blatantly obvious you mean no disrespect to either side . Well done
You should look into the story of Belfast celtic
That was really decent of Kevin in the hotel . Was he a rovers fan who follows your videos 😄?? Fair play to him like
As an irish man you have done a great job
Brave Englishman taking on such topics but you did a great job and kept it about the football. From a Dublin based Shamrock Rovers fan. Love the channel mate keep up the great work
As a person from derry i love this video
James Maclean form that area. He even had the free derry wall tattoo on his leg. "
Loving the Save Tolka Park sticker.

You never mentioned they were rebooted after they went bust.
A very clever ad-campaign has come up with the tagline 'Legenderry', when promoting visits to Derry / Londonderry area, these days.
Fun fact about TNS: Despite being based in England and playing in the Welsh league system, they participated in the Scottish Challenge Cup and even got to the final.
The Scottish lad Blair Mc Nally has a video on here where he visits Cork City when they host Derry in the FAI Cup. I was confused because there still unfortunately is a border separating Ireland so your video may help explain their eligibility. Saying that , Wesh teams take part in EFL Tornaments. Thanks for this 🏴❤️👍
There is a Great documentary on Derry City FC, 'Different League: The Derry City Story' you should check it out! Great Video Sam.
Yeah absolutely brilliant documentary . It could actually make a good movie the story of their fall and rise . The story about the bomb warning during the game the whole lot was fantastic 😃👌 . What a brilliant club

TNS are based in Oswestry, Park Hall which is in England, they were known as Llansantffraid Fc and played in a village also called that, the owner changed the name to TNS after his business Total network solutions and moved them to Oswestry, leaving behind imo a better stadium.
So refreshing to see how much homework Sam has done before making these recent videos. Quality content as usual on this channel.
Great job, it can be a difficult subject for most and cause blood to boil very easily. But you approached it perfectly by not being biased etc. You could've easily lost plenty of subs with this video, but I'm sure you conquered that and actually gained a few. Keep the vids coming and you're welcome in Ireland anytime.
You consider someone you uses a union flag to represent Northern Ireland as not being biased?
@@Mark-0O What on earth are you on about.You do realize he's a Protestant and supports Rangers .
@@Mark-0O However considering the Union Jack is the Northern flag aswell as it's part of UK what's your point.
What Sligo match are you going to?
The FAI is the Football Association of Ireland. The IFA is the Irish Farmers Association
To be fair, there are others. If you count the Welsh League as separate, a lot of the england-based Welsh teams have their past there. Even forgotten Merthyr Tydwel/Merthyr Town F.C., who are like the bargain Wrexham.
Merthyr Town might be a long way from their best, but they certainly haven't been forgotten - seen them play in the league here at Gosport Borough a few times and I think they'll be a decent side in the Southern League this season, albeit in the lower division. Great fight they put up against relegation from the Premier in the spring, even if they did come up just short.
👏👏👏
No mention of The Undertones My Perfect Cousin . Unforgivable.
This is my local club
They say the Guinness is better on home soil but it tastes great everywhere.

Just try not to say NORTHERN IRELAND too loud when you're there 😂
Derry has 3 names in Irish called Doire,Derry in English and Unionist call Derry Londonderry
Remember me who was at the Celtic Motherwell game I was on at 5 minutes till 7 minutes
Nice
Enjoyable and informative, Sam. I heard somewhere that Derry/Londonderry is nicknamed "Stroke City". Brandywell Park is an impressive stadium. Are you planning to visit Cork? Cobh Ramblers might be worth a visit.Roy Keane started his playing career at that club.
Gerry Anderson a funny NI radio broadcaster coined the phrase Stroke City referring to the / between Derry and Londonderry. It meant if he was stopped driving back to the North West from Belfast and was stopped by the police, army or paramilitaries and they ask were he was going he said "stroke city'. Basically meant they couldn't work out if he was Catholic who would have said Derry or Protestant who would have said Londonderry.

Naw

Nah the north are shite..no thanks
This club is Irish ☘️ not British 🇬🇧. It represents Ireland 🇮🇪. One nation.
Nope it's British. Come to terms with it and get over it..
Great video.
Derry or Doire, is a place and a name that has existed long before the arrival of the planters.
It’s a majority nationalist city and it’s name is Derry.
Thankfully in about 10-20 years, this will all be irrelevant.
The planters house trained the potatoes though
The place was fought over 300 years before any Plantation lads arrived. The O'Neills fought the MacDonnells over land while the population owned nothing. Don't blame the British for that.
My street that ur in the bog side 👌🏻
where are you walking from, at the start of your video, tbh
* 'Change nationalities' = switch [ footballing ] jurisdictions. #TheCandyStripes #RiverFoyle
Derry city has a table football club aswell 🤪
In the future...an all island of Ireland ☘️ professional soccer league and team ⚽🏆☘️ Ireland will come.. it makes sense. .
Nope not now or ever your politicians have sold out they're globalists not nationalists and are on the eu gravy train.
For crying out loud that is never going to happen . They don’t want it 🤦🏼♂️ . Give over

Hello
what way is that to drink a Guinness
Irish ☘️ man and you’ve done a brilliant job explaining the history and differences in northen Ireland and Ireland well done you earned a sun
I live in derry I'm a cath
Great job...but...you got to stop saying 'Ireland, Northern Ireland' differentiating, it's just wrong and weird. 'Ireland' is the island of Ireland, it even takes in both jurisdictions, the Republic and the north. Keep it in mind. Even the Protestant churches in all of Ireland recognise the terminology as such, such as the Church of Ireland, Presbyterian Church of Ireland etc etc even the sectarian Orange Order is known as the Grand Orange Lodge of 'Ireland'. Ireland means ALL of the island and it's islands.
The official name of the country is “Ireland”. He’s absolutely correct. It’s the name lodged with the United Nations and it is the official name in our constitution. Of course, lots of Northern organisations like to claim the name only refers to the whole island and therefore we shouldn’t use it but facts beg to differ. “Rep. of Ireland” is a descriptor. Like the “French Republic” or “République Française” is a descriptor of the country called “France”.
@@Dreyno I was making the point principally that 'Ireland' means the entire Island and it's Islands, which is undeniable. Confusingly to outsiders this monicker contains two jurisdictions, namely the U.K (the region of Northern Ireland) and constitutionally 'Ireland' via the southern states constitution (Also known as the Republic and The Republic of Ireland). Mostly using the term Ireland when saying "Crossing into Ireland from Northern Ireland" sounds to most within the entirety of Ireland as weird. He's always in Ireland, even the name Northern 'Ireland' says this, the clue is in the name.
@@NintyFamily The country is Ireland. It’s in our constitution. I don’t much care if some people are confused or annoyed that the official name of the country is, simply, Ireland. That the island is also called that is an aside. It does not take precedent.
It’s refreshing that this young man has learned this and uses the correct term unlike so many of his countrymen who insist on using “the Rep. of Ireland”, which, if we’re honest, is almost never used in Ireland u less referencing the football team, or even worse, “Eire”.
@@Dreyno Country= Ireland 1 state and 1 artificial statelet. Northern Ireland isn't a country either...fact, it doesn't 'officially' have it's own flag or indeed an anthem, the flag which was abolished in 1973, unlike England, Wales or Scotland over in Britain. Also we get that you are a passionate partitionist.
Great docu.... Only Ireland is Republic of Ireland.... IRELAND is the Island

Northern ireland is the link between Southern Ireland and Scotland seeing as it's people are a mixture of its two cultures creating a unique culture in itself.
That didn't happen lol. Scottish fans boo'd the Irish anthem and the Ireland fans were singing IRA songs. Was not a nice friendly atmosphere

The Northern Ireland football team is essentially just a Protestant fan base, Catholic players are allowed to play for Republic now which has cemented Catholics support for the Republic. I personally don't support any.
The most popular sport for Irish Catholics is Gaelic Football, this sport is very weak in Derry city but strong in the rural areas of the county. Gaelic Football is actually quite strong in Belfast though.

There is only one nation on the island of Ireland and it is not the six north eastern counties of Ulster and that is for sure.
