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. |

youngest international debutant.
Some outdated sources list
David McCaw as starting, but he started the trial match the previous week.
John Waring (Cliftonville) was named in the original line-up, but
following a 'misdemeanor', his place went to Buckle. |

Match Report |
 Weather
being bitterly cold, a gale blowing, accompanied at times by showers
of rain and hail.
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. -
