Yes lay people in DUB. Guards everywhere else but it is in the programme for Government to extend the lay people out to other ports.

Is that your specialist subject on Mastermind?
I’m not sure it would be a suitable subject as in Mastermind you sometimes have to pass.
In the golden era of the FA Cup, there was no passing, it was long ball and sticking it in the mixer all the way.
Proper football.
Mark Robins?

Only one of Mark Robins’ FA Cup goals came in a replay.
The years 1990 to 1995 were a golden period for FA Cup replays.
At the heart of it all were a few likely suspects. Southampton were chief among them. They always seemed to be involved in FA Cup replays. Bolton Wanderers were another staple. Oldham. Wolves. Middlesbrough. Wimbledon. Crystal Palace. No edition of Ye Olde FA Cup was complete without a replay at Selhurst Park in front of about 4,000 people which barely went ahead due to fog.
Goodison Park always seemed to have replay drama.
Who wants a game?
Adrian Heath?
Neil Webb? Lee Martin?

Sure it was the penalties that ruined FA Cup replays.
Was there a shoot out after #19? Was that the one Tim Flowers ran the length of the field in celebration after?
Yes. The Manchester United equaliser was a classic of the “what the hell just happened there” genre.
February 1992 was very close to the point of “when did society peak”.
@Cheasty can we get a definitive list of sporting events/achievements that in effect signalled 'the end of a process/era", after a long number of years of hard work and whereby the winning team effectively broke up/lost the manager/gave up seriously competing or started to phone it in immediately afterwards .
A few off the top of my head:
New Zealand 2015 RWC - Back to back World Cups - McCaw, Carter, Nonu etc all retired straight after.
AC Milan 2007 CL - an old team on the wane that got their redemption for 2005. Everyone kind of knew that was it for them after that.
Dublin Football 2019 AI - 5 in a row, history made, Jim Gavin resigned, Bernard Brogan retired, McCaffrey walked away. They may well have won again in 2020 but it wasnt the same at all.
Tipperary Munster Football Champions 2020 - lost half the team and fell off a cliff straight away afterwards.
Corofin All Ireland Club Championship 2020 - 3 in a row done, history made. Lost all hunger immediately afterwards. Never the same team again.

Offaly hurlers 2000 All-Ireland final defeat to Kilkenny was a classic of the genre. They haven’t reached a Leinster final since.
England rugby World Cup winners 2003. Capitulated in the following 6 Nations and barely won a game of note in the following cycle to the 2007 World Cup.
Kerry 1986 to complete the 3 in a row.
Manchester United league winners 2013. Ditto Liverpool 1990.
Kilkenny hurlers 2015.
Just thought of Portumna 2014 while brushing my teeth. Don’t think they’ve won a county championship since?
