Sir,- As I am currently working in Saudi Arabia, I was pleased to be able to watch Ireland play Iran in the World Cup qualifier, live on the Orbit ESPN satellite channel.
Obviously it was a great result, but I have to admit that I found the abbreviations used for each team a little bemusing. What was the final score? "IRE 2. IRA 0." Clearly, the Good Friday Agreement is having an incredible effect! - Yours, etc.,
