A fun solve today but I was a bit annoyed by the inclusion of "Top o' the mornin'". There are plenty other actual Irishisms to choose from that would avoid perpetuating that outdated stereotype. Here's some of my favourites (obviously some: - "What's the craic": Hello / How are you - "Ah sure, I'm grand": I'm ok - "If there was work in the bed he'd sleep on the floor" - He's lazy - "He'd peel an orange in his pocket": He's miserly - "There’s siúl in his feet": He can't stay still - "There's a wee want in him": He's not the brightest - "The head on you and the price of turnips": You look hungover I know the purpose here in the crossword is to use a widely known phrase to give people the best chance of solving and the above are not well known (nor concise enough!). But thought I'd take this chance to add to the Irishisms vocabulary.

A card isn't an indicator of a penalty in soccer. A player can get a card anywhere on the pitch for a foul. Similarly a player can get a penalty without anyone receiving a card. The referee will point to the penalty spot to indicate a penalty

Seems I always find room for a CHEESEBOARD when I should really be asking for the CHECKPLEASE!

I don't understand why "Corner" solves to "Tree". Can anyone help me out here?

Huh, TIL. Living in Germany and I have only ever heard people here say Prost - never Prosit.

A fine crossword, however I really don't appreciate the inclusion of Playboi Carti. Especially just one week after his latest allegations

@SP Just makes you appreciate how difficult it is to come up with themers because these ones are terrible!
