People Reckon Sky Sports Just Messed Up This Map Of Ireland ‘On Purpose’

Megan Cassidy

Irish viewers are none too pleased with Sky Sports today after a map which shows the division between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland made a glaring omission. 

Yep, they forgot all about Donegal, grouping it in with the rest of the counties of Northern Ireland under the Ulster Banner – commonly used to represent Northern Ireland internationally in sporting competitions.

Needless to say, the people of Reddit are not impressed. 

The photo was uploaded by user SkyFrogs with the caption: 

‘Poor Donegal, annexed by Northern Ireland according to Sky Sports’. 

One commenter wrote: ‘I’m convinced sky sports do this shit on purpose to try and stir up a reaction. A bit like the ‘all England final’ thing.’ 

Another added: ‘I’m not outraged at all but how can you actually do this in 2018?’ 

Sort it out Sky.
