Re: So what did we learn from today?

Not a shocking starting 11 and three relatively early substitutions, so seems to me it’s the players and not Sean to blame- can’t explain that. Hart was simply not good.

Re: Schengan Area: NI Ireland and Eire Pasport Situation

The official name of the Republic of Ireland is Éire or Ireland. It used to be Eire (E instead of É) because it was suggested one shouldn’t use a ‘fada’ over a capital letter. However, it was then pointed out ‘Eire’ means ‘burden’ and so the word requires a fada to make it correctly translate as ‘Ir...
