We all live in a yellow submarine song. RoI sings ‘we all dream of a team of Gary breens’

Fair enough. It feels like if you're not Irish in this thread today, you might not know exactly what's going on. Eamon O'Nana wouldn't have any trouble, though.

Tony Cascarino would be bemused too!

I think the sticking point is whether you consider British to be a synonym of a person being born of the ‘U.K.’ or ‘British Isles’

One of which coleman isn’t a member of, the other one he is.

Coleman was born in the Republic of Ireland as I was.... neither of us were born in the British isles.

I don't mean to stoke this pointless discussion again but it is just a fact the ROI is not part of the British Isles.

Are there any posts in here relating to our new hero at all?

If you want to talk about Onana you have to go to the Irish politics thread on current affairs forum

You have got that wrong. British Isles is a geographical concept and applies to all these islands including the Republic. It is not used in a political sense, just in a geographical sense by the rest the world. You probably don't like it but that is too bad.

Now that's a reference I understand!

 

[everton1953]

Forgot to add just Google it and you will find the definition of the British Isles as a group of islands off the coast of Europe including ......you've guessed it, The Republic.

Someone from Wales I think

Dermot there showing the world why the officiating in this country is not up to scratch.

well if a bent ex ref and a kopite say it’s yellow then who am i to argue?!

clear red card, VAR officials had been desperate to get involved all weekend but when we needed a review they were hiding like cowards

Not sure who the Sky presenter stood next to him is but his expression was like "are you effing kidding me, Dermot"

I think that Geography, Politics, Religion, Nationalities, non football quizzes belong in the ale house you beautiful Evertonians you.

onana rhymes with gana

I think any black athlete would be overjoyed to be compared with a legendary black athlete myself. I don’t think the first thing on their mind would be “I hate being compared to other athletes of the same skin color as me because it perpetuates racial stereotypes grrrrrr….”

Anyway Lampard played with Essien and Ballack so I assume he learned from experience that dominant midfielders win games and titles. If Onana turned into the big time midfielder he could be this club can go places (or sell him for an astronomical fee )

 

[Zatara]

Are there even any white players that played like Vieira? I can't think of any.

Onana.

Redondo.

Garner.

Declan Rice is an easy comparison to make imo: breaks up play well, comfortable on the ball, high energy and striking stature.
I can see why Moyes was so keen to get him in! Ready made replacement for next season.

Llama.
