He can quote ,but he can't edit a post to not include nolan in a orr topic ,when i already said i don't deny nolan being irish after reading where he was born.

Good one.

I was implying that just because he has the name "orr" (irish) dosen't automatically make him irish,just like having the same last name as bobby orr dosen't make him related.

I'm not really sure, but neither of them are 30 yet, and that's a fact. I've done some reading on the players.

Junior, you still said Nolan isn't Irish. If you said something like, is he Irish? Or I don't know whether he is or isn't.

You have no actual proof. That's like saying Michael Garnett and Kevin Garnett are related.

Owen Nolan was born in Northern Ireland has has spend some time there. Whether he is Irish or British or both is a different story.

If Orr was born or was lived/spent considerable time there, then yes he is. If not then no he isnt.

If you say "well is parents are", then is parents are, he is not.

If you consider 3 years considerably time and feel you are Senagalian (?) then sure.

He spent a lot of time as a child through teen through adult in Belfast.

The only reason i know this is because both my parents (my whole family for that matter, im first generation Canadian) are from Belfast, the estate beside where Nolans family is/was. My Dad knows his family and has know Nolan since he was a child. (i dont, never met/talked to him myself.)
