2022/23 Amadou Onana

[Pabbers]

Don't want to get too excited as it is what we do...we go way way way over the top....but.....he is the best player i have ever seen.

 

[Paul Rideout]

It would be very ignorant to call everyone from Northern Ireland British.

"It is the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly [the two governments] confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments"

You've just described people choosing their pronouns but from a nation state perspective.

Also I didn't think I had to put the salient point I was making in bold to emphasis my point as you have but let me re-iterate:

don’t take it seriously

If they hold an Irish passport, they're legally Irish not British. By your logic everyone over here chooses their nations state pronouns as British.

Just pointing out why you shouldn't automatically label people from Northern Ireland as British.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's a good player, with plenty of scope to keep getting better. Good to see him making a few runs into the box as well.

Should have had a tap in on Saturday if Maupay would have picked his head up

I seen that Onana was in loads of space but I suppose one of those things. If he passes and we don't score then he would be vilified for not shooting. Think instinct took over in the end

Didn’t know holding a passport limits you to decide what nation state you’re from. I have a U.K., Swiss and French passport, so does that mean I can choose my nation state pronoun?

But I say I’m Scottish so even without my French and Swiss side I’m still picking from British or Scottish.

Also surely by choosing what passport you have (on the proviso you have to say you’re from where you passport is and that you don’t hold both passports) you de facto choose your pronoun when you pick your passport.

Right?

 

[preposterousvelios]

He probably has some of it, I saw Vieira play like 5 times and he was way past his prime

So what you're saying is, you don't actually have any idea what you're talking about?

Colour me shocked.

Reading into it a bit much mate. Point stands, you cannot label everyone from Northern Ireland as British as that’s factually incorrect.

 

[LocalNative]

Anyway no idea how that topic even came up.

Onana is boss, gonna enjoy watching him. Looks like a really good character too. Hopefully him, Gana and Iwobi can create a strong midfield partnership.

 

[Tel001]

Yes and Ireland is still part of the British isles, last time I looked at a map it wasn't detached, it's just not part of the UK. If Scotland ever gets independence it will still be British geographically. Anyway, Onana was born in Senegal and looks a very good player to me.

Ireland is not British mate ,

 

[Tel001]

But can you call someone from Northern Ireland British?

(I work in a 6 person company 3 are Irish. I know this gets under their skin so don’t take it seriously)

Yes you can call someone from Northern Ireland as British .

I’m from Belfast and am British

 

[Toffeeforme]

Wtf? He literally moves and plays like a cross between Vieira and Toure, what’s his skin colour got to do with it? I suppose it’s lazy to say Gueye is similar to Kante as well?
Better make sure not to compare Patterson to young Coleman because they’re both white and British, I suppose that’s racist?

Bang on

 

[Cow kecks]

Ireland is not British mate ,

Geographically it is though mate, or if you want to use another name for it, we are all from the Atlantic archipelago.
