OK, but the divisions are unlikely to lead to open warfare like they have 3 times between Pak and India.

Are you aware of "The Troubles", the 25-ish year campaign of insurrection carried out by Northern Irish separatists? I would suggest that's closer to "open warfare" than it is supporting a football team.

Were the Troubles a conflict waged between the Scots and the English?
