Another worry for Andrew is the plight of Hibernian football club, who are currently struggling near the bottom of the Scottish Premiership league table.“Although I’m from Ireland, my family were originally from Edinburgh. My dad was a trade union organiser and so was my granddad. They lived close to Easter Road, so I was always going to gravitate towards Hibs. There are some great people at the club, with some very good players, but it doesn’t seem to be coming together for us at the moment.“Because the Scottish football season starts in August, I always take in a game when I’m in Edinburgh at the Fringe. I did a couple of gigs at Easter Road Stadium last year, I love to do those. And they let me on the pitch at half time during the match to do the raffle!“I hate the sectarianism of Scottish football though. Celtic and Rangers need to do more to challenge the bigots in my view. Hibs is a club that is proud of its Irish routes, but is non-sectarian.“People in Scotland assume I’m from Edinburgh because of my name… I always get a laugh out of that.”

Yep.
The ‘Corbyn befriended the IRA’ thing is the haute-couture of British egotism. Never mind that Thatcher spoke to them first, or it led to the GFA - the spectre of the Paddywack Bogeyman has been conjured and that’s enough to frighten some people into the folds of Boris’s belly.— Philly Byrne (@PhilipNByrne) November 13, 2019

I picked a random book on my kindle last night to cure my insomnia and it turned out to be Eamon Dunphy's The Rocky Road, not the football memoir mentioned upthread but his autobiography. I was quite struck by how perceptive and interesting, politically aware, cliche free etc.. his writing was - no typical footballer is this guy.

Jokes, plenty. Joyce, Beckett. The closest Ireland has to a national project of vergangenheitsbewältigung. What drives me nuts is the manic effort to sentimentalise everything in Irish popular culture. Fucking butter ads. I feel optimistic about Ireland. *About the young.* But there is a national kitsch that threatens to smother almost everything. I probably hate "reeling in the years" more than anything.
