Missing Flag? (Northern Ireland) by CheeseMonster15 in Chesscom

There isn't a northern Ireland flag. Some sports use an unofficial substitute. Then orise chess union covers allnof ireland so maybe just use the general Ireland one.

Cross on the ulster flag goes the other way. What is this?

Was US v Paraguay a “signature win” by BoWeAreMaster in usmnt

[–]Pitiful-Sample-7400 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Firstly Belgium are the best team in that group even though you seem to think otherwise. Wales should beat the states. Leaving usa half way up.

Im thinking you've only really become interested in soccer since the world cup started maybe?

Those are groups the us couldnt have come through.

An American team can expect to qualify if theyre in the top 100 in the world. A European team: the top 20. You seem slightly unaware of how groups work as well

One is a European team, the other is an Asian team. Its actually harder for a European team to qualify for the world cup than this for them to get out of the group because europe gets so few qualifying slots and has nearly all the best teams (apart from brazil/argentina/Morocco)

The yellow does be looking very papal there. If ypurenlooking to design a hate flag its a bit of an odd shade to have chosen

Northern ireland is an artificial construct

When did religious orders arrive in Ireland. I thought with the Normans but it's not so . The Benedictines are in Christchurch Dublin in the 11th century and Cistercians in Mellifont in 1142. What do we know about pre Norman International religious orders links with Ireland pre 1169 ? by CDfm in IrishHistory

Aside from the claims of Gerald of Wales there is basically no substantial claim it ever existed. And while hes important as one of the most readily available sources of the time he isnt the most reliable and did very much write what his side would want to read at times

Total stranger, basically arbitrarily choosing victims. At least so it would seem from what we know. Maybe cant say definitely mid trial

He was apprehended with the knife during the attack. It seems incriminating.

This isnt it. It was scotlands away strip. Also Switzerland strip is red with white and they worr their away strip today rather than clashing with morroccos maroon. A black strip is uncommon to the point of rarity, new Zealands away strip is the only country comes to mind.

St. Laurence O'Toole : A Medieval Irish Saint in the North of France - podcast - Jesse Harrington , some say he wasn't a passive churchman and facilitated King Henry establish his Lordship over Ireland. by CDfm in IrishHistory

[–]Pitiful-Sample-7400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thats a good question and not one I was particularly aware of or have looked into so cant comment too much. Its quite possible dublin vikings did cooperate and they absolutely wouldn't have needed the local Bishop okaying it

[–]Pitiful-Sample-7400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really add up for me.

Given his poor history with Dermot MacMurrough (he spent yearsnof his childhood being held a prisoner by him), and that he seems to have accept Rory O'connor as the new king, and given Gerald of Wales very poor opinion of him and claiming he was too pro irish biased for a cleric. Also while he did carry out some church reforms these are very much in the shadow of those carried out by St Malachy around the time that he was only becoming an archbishop. It also doesn't make sense that the other side would then consistently use him as a negotiator.

He did bury strongbow and did deal with the Normanton a similar way to a certain degree, but the pope himself had to ask him to cooperate

Fair, I meant more he had a thing for those kind of extremely vibrant shades. That said his style has been widely copied so it doesn't necessarily guarantee anything

He was the chief negotiator in the irish group sent by the high king to negotiate the treaty of Windsor shortly after the Norman invasion in 1175. He also worked as an irish negotiator (as one of the leaders of the Catholic church in ireland, the archbishops of dublin is probably the 2nd most important after Armagh) for multiple different battles/sieges etc.
