    If Dunphy was in his Pomp ~ ~ Clark would probably be the Un-Picked Messiah ! !

    Dunpher’s was always a great one for the ~ ~ Un-Picked Messiah !

    A better number than Coleman's in the last month I'd say. :/

    Coleman barely put a foot wrong in his last Ireland appearances.

    I'm not fussed about Clark tbh. I doubt any results would have been different if he'd played more games. Deficiency at CB certainly wasn't something that has cost us anything material under Kenny. Duffy's return to form has been brilliant, Egan has been superb, Coleman has played well, O'Shea and Omobamidele have had really promising early performances and I'd much rather try to integrate these youngsters and Nathan Collins than go back to looking at Clark.

    If we're talking about left wing back, then maybe but again there are others I'd prefer to see ahead of him.

    Classic generic ambivalence to Clark.

    If he spelt his name properly I'd have more time for him

    Clarke is the dominant spelling, in my experience. I guess he's referring to that.

    That or it's a fada in Ciarán.

    I think it's the latter - possibly ref the other thread where I was giving out about Cieren/Keiron/Kieran/Kyron and everything except the right way of spelling it.

    It's actually both. Clarke is the dominant Irish spelling, Clark the traditional English spelling. It really annoys me, for reasons I'm surprised Stu doesn't appreciate.

    But spelling Ciaran normally is almost inconsiderate at this stage.

    Can we agree on Ó Cléirigh instead so?

    (I wonder is the difference in spelling because there is a separate English surname derived from the occupation of a clerk?)

    We actually discussed this years ago, it had something to do with class distinction. IIRC.

    Last post almost six years ago. I was thinking I didn't remember that class discussion - if it was at least six years ago, that'd explain it!

    (No idea how Crosby remembers it tbh...)

    Apparently Clark without the e is often derived from the French Clerc. In which case he could have Huguenot ancestry.

    "Clark" isn't top of the signatories of the Proclamation of Independence. That's what matters here!
