I think the problem Max has as why the question was so important to the boys in NI. On that respect I do find that he has a point I also think there is a second motive regarding that question.
Where I differ from Max is that I do not think that we should never be allowed an Orange strip. By never having one means exactly that we are agreeing it does mean more than it actually does. We should not let others dictate what colour is correct for our team.
Remember the sash cut grass and the red socks meaning up to the knees in blood. The bouncy was us jumping on someone's head and Penny Arcade was about a Catholic murdered in a Casino. We must not let these people dictate what we can do,sing(within reason) or what we wear.
