Notes |
An experimental law is introduced, that empowers the referee to award a goal
in cases where, in his opinion, a goal has been prevented from a deliberate
handball by the defending team. It lasts one season only, and it is
unknown as to whether it resulted in any England goals in 1881-82. |

Match Report |
|
|
The Irish line-up that day included
Samuel Johnston, who at the age of 15 years and 154 days became the
youngest international debutant, a record still held today.
Some outdated sources list
David McCaw in the starting line-up rather than Johnston. Yet after
substantial research, through the NIFG website, we are satisfied that it
was the record-breaking Johnston that took to the pitch on this day.
On Saturday last
for the first time an Irish Association team met a picked eleven of
English players, at Bloomfield, Belfast. England won the toss and chose
to play with a strong wind at their backs. Ireland set the ball rolling:
it was soon returned and in a few minutes England forced the ball
underneath the crossbar. In the result, England were pronounced
victorious by 13 goals to none. -
