I would be inclined to combine the pre-1924 results with Northern Ireland as the vast majority of the "home" matches were in Belfast confirming the results as Northern Ireland and not reflective of the entire island of Ireland. An accurate reflection of how the results should be partitioned would be from the Nationwide Football Annual - latest issue for 2009-10 season - which correctly represents England vs. Republic of Ireland results from 1946-present on page 236. That record for England would be played 14, with 5 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses (included the most recent abandoned match result from 1995). You can see the England vs. Ireland/Northern Ireland results from 1882-2005 on page 287 as being played 98, with 75 wins, 7 losses and 16 draws. That seems the fairest representation and their independent interpretation of apportioning the results among the countries. A results line for Ireland can be reserved for the day when the country fields one team such as in rugby and cricket. Eire4ever (talk) 16:00, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
