There was a story that Germany wear a green second kit, because Ireland was the first team willing to play (then) West Germany after WWII. But others tell me this is a myth. Can anyone verify either way?

Green second jersey, green and white second kit! #jeepers
Update:

The twitter consensus is that this story is a myth, and almost all think the green and white is because they are the colours of @DFB

Key quotes from MEP on EP Brexit steering group, synopsises EU position:

“The EU’s current backstop proposal contains the minimum level of controls necessary to protect the integrity of single market and some precise procedures related to customs, fiscal and regulatory control.”
2) MEP on Brexit steering group continued:

“Some of these procedures have been used for years between Spain and the Canary Islands (which are outside the EU customs territory), and have nothing to do with potential emergence of a new border in the Irish Sea.”
3) Hübner:

“Maybe more political talks are needed – perhaps language can be changed...the Commission’s most recent conversation with UK Brexit Secretary was by phone instead of in person. Let us hope this is not a new trend for the remaining phase of the withdrawal negotiations”

I wrote a paper about Thatcher’s Bruges speech (around its 10th anniversary 🙀), for a course on British politics during my MA @SAISHopkins

My vague memory of my conclusion was that:

She worried the EU would leave the UK, but the UK would never leave any top European table.
That should say “she worried the then-EEC” of course not EU, since it didn’t exist in 1988 :-)
In other words, I was already long-well disposed to @davidallengreen’s analysis of Thatcher’s Bruges speech. I think he is spot-on here, an excellent piece, and crucial for understanding the nuances and strands of British “euroscepticism”:

NI-GB: “Of the four most relevant types of checks – on customs, standards, VAT, SPS – only the last, for which infrastructure already partially exists, explicitly needs to be carried out in ports rather than online, in distribution centres or on ferries.” cer.eu/insights/after…
“Other nations manage similar arrangements with little fuss: the Canary Islands are outside the EU’s VAT area, despite being a constituent region of Spain, which necessitates checks. Indeed, having a foot in both camps could be to Northern Ireland’s economic advantage...”
“While the withdrawal agreement will probably only bind both sides to a Northern Ireland-specific backstop, it could allow for whole UK solutions, that would be conditional – and this is important – on the future, post-withdrawal, consent of both the UK and EU.”

1/3 A crude backstop hunch: legal text will have two components (UK-wide CU, NI-only SM). Perhaps how “temporary” UK part is, and how “permanent” NI part is, can be spun politically - but both will be legally bound together, so legal result will be same if/when backstop kicks in.
2/3 That offers a political way out, so that May can claim a “concession”, but I think the EU might go for that if certain conditions are met on oversight, court, VAT etc, which is still politically difficult for May, but perhaps can be overcome with fact of finally having a deal
3/3 The backstop might have to kick in as soon as the start of 2021, after the transition period. So it would not be wise to fudge this legally at all. That is another reason why the EU won’t go for legal fudge. Thus, a lot now hinges on the UK’s alternative backstop text...

It will be interesting to see what HMG proposes as an alternative backstop text, as re-promised by UK PM May yesterday. A key debate may be developing a UK-wide component.

Interestingly, in the Sept 9th Mail on Sunday, B Johnson said HMG agreed to seaport checks last December.
In case of interest, here is a link to Boris Johnson’s article, from which the quote in the tweet above is taken: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
Also David Davis made some confusing comments, to me at least, in Berlin this week, about the need for checks at Northern Irish ports, but technology could be used away from the land border too, and that there would be no hard land border:

Again.

“But over the coffee the prime minister dropped a bombshell...Six months after promising to come up with a fix that would avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland in all possible circumstances, the British appeared to be stalling for time again”theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
“Macron told his fellow leaders that [May] should not be allowed to drag her heels...May was to be set a threshold that she would have to reach if she wanted a deal. The EU’s leaders were instructed to increase their preparations for a no-deal Brexit.”
“The morning mistake from May, was then followed, it appears, by a misjudgment by the EU’s leaders. Along with Tusk’s ultimatum, came a kick, perhaps one that will prove fatal, at the Chequers proposals.”
