Nobody panic just yet, but our neighbours across the Irish Sea have voted to leave the EU.
Britain let their voices be heard this week, making it clear that they wanted out of the European Union. However, the notable exceptions were Northern Ireland and Scotland, who voted to remain.
As Northern Ireland shares a land border with the Republic, it is unknown how this landmark vote will impact the relationship between the two countries. Some have even speculated that they could introduce a physical border and passport control checks between the North and South.
It was this fear that the stadium announcer at Oriel Park poked fun at during Dundalk FC’s 2-0 win over St Patrick’s Athletic on Friday night. While announcing the Lilywhites’ next fixture, he just couldn’t resist getting in a gag for the day that was in it.
In Oriel Pk to see the Saints. PA announcer: "Dundalk play away to Derry next week. No passport required for that just yet."

We didn’t really need it, as it’s common knowledge now at this stage, but this is just further proof that the League of Ireland is the greatest of them all.
