There's no rights or wrongs in whatever spelling you use, it's all about preferences of the day."
No storm at all. Just pointing out that we see the incorrect spelling of the name a lot. I agree with the other posters that it's an easy one to get wrong, particularly for non-Gaeilge speakers.
If I was to keep referring to Paul O'Connell as Plau O'Connell, I'd definitely be spelling his name wrong. So there is a right way and a wrong way of spelling a name.

Your initial interest in my spelling / misspelling of Tadgh / Tadhg was to say the least interesting, what it really boiled down to was the reversal of the last two letters, hg simple as that, how they were arranged in the spelling meant a lot to you and I respect that.

I went out of my way to put my understanding and my view's on the spelling in my post.

However, yesterday I posted two replies making sure they were squeaky clean and within the house rules, unfortunately they didn't make the forum. I also posted a reply to a different poster, sadly that post didn't make the forum either, unless I'm mistaken it is the fourth time in a month, I simply don't understand how it works.

I was of the opinion it is a forum to share sporting information, not a popularity forum.

Happy Xmas, - - - - sorry I mean Christmas.
