Irish field

Irish pike and shot infantry painted by "clibinarium."This line represents the Celtic forces of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms era (English Civil War) -- the Scots and Irish. Much has been written about the Scottish Covenanters as well as Montrose's Scots Royalists so they will not be discussed here. Note that the regular cavalry and infantry of the Scots Royalists (Strathbogie, the Gordon foot and horse) would not be different from the Covenanter range so they are not distinguished here. Many Scottish highlanders were "humblies" who were often just equipped with a polearm and stuck in the back on the force -- even if your army list does not depict these as a separate type it makes good sense to mix some in the rear ranks, and is quite colourful as well.Perhaps somewhat less well-known (other than for the seconding of some of their troops to Scotland), the Confederate Irish, sometimes with "Redshanks" mercenaries, fought to establish independence in Ireland during the period of the English Civil War, which eventually placed them in the odd position of being Royalists. The Irish Catholic Confederacy begins with the Rebellion of 1641 and ends ten years later with the final defeat of an Irish field army, at the Battle of Knocknaclashy.Many Irishmen had fought in the Spanish tercios in the interminable wars in the Netherlands and had some military experience, but modern weapons were sometimes in short supply, and as such some Irish armies contained many troops fighting in traditional fashion, with the javelin.The Confederate Irish were always weak in cavalry compared to their foes, and this, along with often very poor high level leadership, was the cause of their general lack of success on the battlefield. However, when competently led, and when the enemy superiority in horse could be neutralized, the

WHO? No. 3 Notre Dame (4-0, 3-0 ACC) at Pittsburgh (3-3, 2-3).After the Irish slipped by Louisville last weekend, head coach Brian Kelly trotted out a well-worn coach-ism.“When you’re a top-5 team in the country, you’re going to get the opposition’s best game, period,” Kelly said. “That was not a 1-3 football team we played today. That was a team that played their absolute best, took care of the football.”Kelly had maintained all week the Cardinals were better than their record indicated, a claim supported by watching Louisville’s first few games and recognizing the speed on its roster.No one is mistaking Pittsburgh for its record, either. Not with its top-flight defense and a penchant for springing upsets under sixth-year head coach Pat Narduzzi.WHAT? A measuring stick for Notre Dame. Rolling through rebuilding Florida State was one thing, as was playing down to the Cardinals’ level. The Irish cannot afford to muck it up with the Panthers, not if they want to win today and not if they want to find the footing needed to get by No. 1 Clemson in two weeks. Not everything should be viewed through an orange-and-white prism. That gauge applies only on Nov. 7 (and probably Dec. 19), but at some point, Notre Dame needs to establish what it can rely on in November.WHEN? A 3:36 ET kickoff, which will bring perfectly-seasoned football weather in the Steel City on the Ohio River. The Irish and their fans (and beat writers) will have two weekends of afternoon work before returning to primetime against Clemson.WHERE? Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, where Notre Dame senior defensive tackle and Pittsburgh native Kurt Hinish played three times in high school. The most difficult aspect of Heinz Field has long not been rowdy fans, which will obviously be nearly entirely mitigated this weekend, but

Often its swirling wind. In such an instance, Irish senior kicker Jonathan Doerer focuses his warmups on finding the sweet spots through the wind patterns.ABC has the national broadcast, meaning Watch ESPN is the friend of anyone needing to stream the game.WHY? When Notre Dame added five ACC games a year to its schedule in 2014, facing Pittsburgh was one of the reasons it made sense. They may not be storied rivals a la USC or Michigan, but the Irish have a lengthy history against the Panthers, with a few moments of notoriety (2012’s drama chief among them, but let’s not forget the sprinklers going off in quadruple overtime in 2008 or the last-second field goal that ended Tyrone Willingham’s tenure in 2004).Similarly, folding Notre Dame into the ACC meant capitalizing on its history with Boston College, Florida State and Miami. It is hard to believe it is a complete coincidence two of those were added to the Irish schedule in the pandemic reshuffling. These pairings make the ACC partnership a natural one. Not even bothering with research to assume it's 2-3 ... Checks Phil Steele on the desk next to me ... Make it top-5 to include #NotreDame in 2018, and yes, it's 2-3 in Pat Narduzzi's five years. Douglas Farmer (@D_Farmer) October 23, 2020BY HOW MUCH?When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object in college football in 2020, the expectation is the tie goes to the offense. Notre Dame’s rushing offense ranks No. 6 in the country with 261 yards per game (min. 3 games) and No. 4 in yards per carry at 5.87. Behind sophomores Kyren Williams and C’Bo Flemister, freshman Chris Tyree and fifth-year quarterback Ian Book — not to mention what may be the country’s best offensive line — the Irish have run through their

WHO? No. 3 Notre Dame (8-1) at No. 7 Miami (8-0) in their fourth meeting in eight years. The Irish have won the previous three (2010 Sun Bowl, 2012 at Soldier Field, 2016 at Notre Dame).WHAT? This contest will not determine the Hurricanes’ chances at the ACC title. They need to win one of their final two games to clinch the Coastal division and a date in the conference championship game most likely against No. 4 Clemson.Instead, the prime-time endeavor will all-but knock one team from the College Football Playoff conversation. It is conceivable Miami could lose, go on to win the ACC and find itself back in the mix, but that would need some chaos around the rest of the country. It would be much simpler to simply beat the Irish, though that is far from simple on its own.WHEN? 8:16 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. For all the grief NBC gets each week for turning “3:30” game times into 3:42 kickoffs, that delay is elongated even further by the Worldwide Leader.WHERE? Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fla. It has been rebranded, but this is indeed the same south Florida venue Notre Dame visited in early 2013. ABC has the broadcast, but mobile viewers should be able to enjoy it via the Watch ESPN app, as well.WEATHER? Some will try to make a note of the 77-degree evening, humidity bumping the tangible temperature to 81 degrees, but Irish coach Brian Kelly maintained the heat should not be an issue for a hydrated Notre Dame. Frankly, the night with a slight northeastern breeze sounds like an absolute delight.WHY? Somewhere here another mention should be made of this being Kelly’s 100th game leading the Irish. Aside from that, turn back to the College Football Playoff conversation.Entering the season, few would have expected this contest to alter the national outlook of the rest of the season. Indeed it will.This is the last scheduled matchup for Notre Dame and Miami until 2024, a quirk of the Irish rotation through the ACC.BY HOW MUCH? This line could move yet today, as the Hurricanes’ did last

The most critical clash of all has been overlooked.At Gettysburg where democracy hung by a thread on the third day Lee made his fatal decision to allow Pickett’s Charge, to send 15,000 men streaming across open fields in a frontal attack on the union army. it was the turning point of the battle and the Civil War and the future of democracy. It was an open road for the rebels to Washington if they broke through.The bulk of the Rebel fighters were tasked with taking the ground directly in the middle of the enemy’s lines. Known as the Angle the furthest point North the army of Robert E. Lee would reach in the civil war. The Union commander, General George Meade grandson of a founder of the Friendly Sons, made an inspired guess that this was where Lee would attack.The main regiment holding the Angle was the Pennsylvania Fighting 69th all Irish natives, led by a Famine emigrant Denis O’Kane, from Derry, who left his wife and two children behind to fight for his new beloved country. As Pickett‘s men charged the 69th stood firm while about them the two regiments broke and fled the field’.Doctor Earl Hess a University of Georgia professor and historian of Pickett’s charge wrote the Irish 69th “refused to give way, the regiment put up a magnificent fight that saved the angle and killed any chance that Pickett’s charge might push the union troops off Cemetery Hill “. Among the fatally wounded in the battle was Colonel Denis O’Kane.Ulysses Grant after Gettysburg settled for a war of attrition, trusting his superior manpower would eventually overwhelm LeeBut where did he get his fresh troops from? Where else but from the arriving Famine Irish driven out by the Great Hunger and into the arms of the Union..We
