About some things yes but then so are most people.

Oh just lighten up!

By all means continue to educate people about our lovely country's name but not here as you just come across as anally retentive republican.

You have your opinion mate and I have mine and I haven't insulted anyone.

Wharever you do don't call it Eire!

[Jan Molby]

So whats your problem wth someone calling there country by its Native name.

It can be Eire, Republic of Ireland or Ireland ... all 3 of them are just a valid ...

No problem with that at all, but we are talking about a football team here, and the name of the football team is the Rep of Ireland, which is the name of the country aswell.
In the 40's the country was declared a republic, and thats what it is known as.
Eire I believe is the native tongue for Ireland, which would represent the whole of the island, Northern Ireland enjoyed a good win last night, so technically, you are incorrect when saying it is in fact Eire.
So all three are not just as valid.

Kilteragh was correct!!

Wow! A real legend on Est1892- welcome aboard sir. Always good to have fine ex-Liverpool players on this site. You seem to be the first

He was ****ing ****e apparently.

I'm not worried though, as we all well know club and international football are worlds apart.

In two or three years time Agger will be one of the best center backs in European football. He's got class written all over him.

I agree with the last part of your post but don't know how you came up with the "****ing ****e" part
The Danish team really was crap but the media singles him out as the only Danish defender who could take a bit of pride away from the game.
He kept making the tackles, kept showing some will and determination and tried organising the defense but the goalie and the other defenders were next to helpless on the night.
So perhaps it wasn't a game to remember for him but at least he's still showing his high levels of professionalism

I've never heard an Irish person refer to Ireland as Eire, but it wouldn't really offend me if they or someone else did.
It's Ireland as far as I'm concerned, and occasionally the Republic of Ireland.

Didn't see the game.

[michelmas]

Ireland played well but Danish keeper was muck. Their fullbacks didn't exist and Agger was pulled about all over the place trying to cover their mistakes. In saying that though it wouldn't have been his best game but towards the end he was more attack minded than any of the Danish midfielders.

It`s time for Danny to score his first goal for us this season.
