Hell no, I take a knighthood, just to rub it up Geoff D and David Beckham not getting one.

Connacht hospitals has known outbreaks, the stays in hospital doesn't seem to be as long as previous waves though. As said already staff shortage looks to be the biggest issue for this month at least

With early research showing the protection offered by boosters waning after just one month, for example, what role will vaccination play in tackling Covid-19 in the future?

That's interesting, that you think the passport will help things get back to normal. How is having your whereabouts scanned every farts end, normal?
If me, you, Tom Dick Harry and everyone else is vaccinated, then as you say, the risk of infection/transmission is lower. So why can't we all just go to the pub as normal if we're all at a lower risk? And our possible transmission of the virus is at a lower level. THAT would be 'back to normal'.

In schools, if there is a positive Covid case (not just someone feels sick), the guidance is that teachers don't need to isolate or be tested as they have been instructed to stay 2m away from everyone.Quote from: Cunny Funt on September 15, 2020, 05:46:27 PM
The latest developments takes the biscuit. The health minister Stephen Donnelly turned up to the Dáil today feeling unwell and now the entire cabinet is self isolating and the Dáil is abandoned for the week.
Have they not been social distancing?
Yet, in the Dáil, a man feels sick and the whole thing is suspended. What a crock of shite.

To be fair, I think he went to Euros to gain experience / help with training and small sided games etc. He was in 3 senior squads though and would have been tied to NI if he played even a couple of mins.
The question in my mind is what would he have done if Michael O'Neill called him to go on as a substitute in one of those qualifiers?
For someone whose underage caps were a product out of compulsion/necessity and whose ultimate aim was to play for the Republic, it was a precarious position to put himself into.

If Declan rice and jack Grealish feel they want to play for England , good luck to them. I respect their right to choose , regardless of their choice of international youth development pathway. The anti-English racism from some ROI followers is equally appalling.
Regarding the GFA, it accepted the NI state through the consent principle , and many of us were that happy to see the end of the conflict that we didn't perhaps appreciate that many actually envisaged the continuance of NI state as a long term solution. 22 years on NI state as we know it is "a dead man walking" , as unionist politic missed their opportunity to show equal respect for Irish identity.
The lack of empathy and respect for NI citizens wanting to play for ROI is a clear indication of this blind spot.
Does the IFA and NI supporters not get this: a sizeable proportion of the citizens of the NI state have absolutely no affinity to the NI football team, and never will. No matter what the IFA and NI supporters do, and they are trying hard, that won't change.
The equivalent would be of footballers in the Balkan states being forced to play for the country they happened to reside in at the time of the carve up
Of the former Yugoslavia , in spite of their ethnicity and patriotic leanings .
Quote from: 6th sam on August 25, 2020, 05:13:53 PMMany will argue that it's blatantly racist for those in NI to question and deride an Irishman for declaring for Ireland. This is a continued manifestation of the lack of respect for Irish identity in the six counties, despite the principles ingrained in the GFA.
