    Scotland's a big place amigo... they never conquered ALL of Scotland :)

    didnt they recently find roman coins and stuff in southern Ireland? * see below *

    anyway... they never conquered Ireland as they never attacked it, they continually attacked Scotland but could never defeat her... ahhh what do you care.. you're from Cambridge :p



    Generally in Ireland, Roman material is rare and found in different contexts from the native La Tene material. No roads have been identified as being Roman, and no large Roman settlements have been found. However in the southeast of Ireland, where native material is rare, Roman-style cemeteries and large quantities of Roman artifacts have been found.

    A group of burials on Lambay Island, off the coast of County Dublin, contained Roman brooches and decorative metalware of a style also found in northern England from the late first century. However this could represent, for example, Brigantes fleeing reprisal from the crushed revolt of 74.

    Three places in Ireland have all produced early and late Roman archaeological material: the midland ritual complex of Tara, the northern hillfort of Clogher, and Cashel, in the south. Tara and Clogher have no native finds of similar age, and the name "Cashel" is thought to derive from the Latin castellum. Each of the three became capital of a new kingdom, and each kingdom's traditions place their origins in Britain. British settlers whose arrival would explain those traditions could have been either supported by, or fleeing from, Roman influence.

    At Drumanagh, 25 km north of Dublin, a large (200,000 m²) site was identified in 1995[update] as possibly Roman. Consisting of a peninsula defended by three rows of parallel ditches on the landward side, the site appears to have been a port or bridgehead.

    Roman coins have been found at Newgrange. [4]

    Roman cultural influences can be seen in the "penannular brooch" (incorporating a ring that is interrupted by a gap) used to fasten Irish cloaks in the 4th through 11th centuries, which is traced to a style of Romano-British brooch, the early medieval Irish sword, which is traced to the Roman spatha,



    sounds like Ireland was Rome's bitch ;)

    Scotland ain't so big. The roadless wilderness of Idaho (my backyard) is bigger than all of Scotland. Don't worry, from what I hear, what you lack in size you make up for in drunkeness.

    Be careful, taking jabs at Americans will only make me happy. One day, I imagine I might have to hunt those fat idiots for food, so I'm hoping they don't change.

    And why even have an "h" if you aren't going to use it? Do you say ippopotamus too?

    there is no greater nation to lose to... in fact... they would not ever want to defeat God's team.. England try... but we grant Argentina victory... we are ever indebted to them!

    This isn't one of those chain emails going around is it?

    snopes? lol
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I think the hand of god goal is funny, and enjoy watching England teams get pumped, even though i have nothing personally against English people. However, i found the interviews with grown Scottish men in Church of Maradona t-shirts saying how they 'worshipped' Maradona because of that goal highly embarrassing. He should be admired for being one of the greatest footballers ever, but no matter how funny the goal was jesus christ please get a life of some sort.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    because Butcher is English.. and Diego used his hand to score a goal against the England team Butcher was playing in.


    plus Butcher is an atheist ;)
