    I may have made a mistake, in a non friendly match is what I meant to say.

    I could never understand why we let him go. Always rated him.

    Yes it was the Republic, as I posted at 9.46 just after it happened I may have been a bit hasty in naming the team that beat Germany just as Ireland, especially as Northern Ireland beat Greece. I rushed it.

    don't let KM hear you say that - she is banking our future on Academy players either playing for us for seasons to come ala Cousinsor for us to cash in on them ala Gomez

    The country's official name is "Ireland" in almost every context. It doesn't have a long name like Germany (or most countries).

    The only situation in which it is known as "Republic of Ireland" is in international football.

    So I guess Goonerhater is right.

    This thread should be framed and put in the CAFC museum.

    Funny, I was brought up knowing it as the "Free State". No wonder we are all confused.

    Free State vs Combined forces of East and West Germany - Has a kind of nice ring to it.
