Euro 2012

[QuartzGooner]

England has given many things to the World. What has Ireland given to the World? Serious question.

1.) Jesus was Irish.

3 minutes, this clip says so.

I'll tell you what is effing me off is the fact that the Irish are lauded as some sort of utopian race without any evidence to suggest it. Yet we English persistently are battered by a Left-wing stick which encourages us to be embarrassed by our nationalism. Look at the pratts on this very thread giving us shit for things that happened centuries ago. If you put up a St Georges flag you're a racist. Fuck off. I find that the ultimate insult. I won't apologise for things that happened centuries ago. The relevant stuff is the present day. The same with British football fans. We have a blemish-free record in Europe for nigh on 20 years. The Irish have got nothing to point to as their own Clubs are never in Europe. The national team have their fair share of trouble-makers of which I have first-hand experience. So don't preach to me about nationalism. Don't tell me anything about the English national psyche. I'm not fucking interested in your views. They're irrelevant. That includes our national broadcasters cheer-leading your national team and supporters, and yet doing down our own hopes and our own supporters. The Left wing are shysters and I ain't having it.

Who the hell rattled your cage. The Mrs getting a rodgering from a Mick

Personally I think your commentators rage about the Irish support because the tavelling support actually party and mix with the locals. The beer goes down and the smiles get bigger.
Unlike the innits who moan that they can't get a Yorkshire pudding or a fry or warm beer and when the beer goes down the aggression comes out and the fight begins.

Both supporters reputation are well deserved and I think you need to build a bridge

Nah mate. Your sterotyping is pathetic. The English supporters these days mingle with the locals and don't cause rows. Shows how clueless you really are. Football hooligans don't follow England anymore. Euro 2000 was the end of all that. Football Violence is finished.

You dare to call me out on stereotyping after your viscous rant labelling a whole country

I broke a couple of ribs there laughing

Yeah great strides have been made with the hooligan element and kudos to the authorities for that.

Party and mix with the locals Aye sounds like a great party the night before the Croatia game what with Irish and Poles getting arrested and a bar getting smashed up like

Yeah, I saw that the Irish lads had ignored that one. I remember going on holiday with my parents to Spain years ago. We were having some lunch in a massive Irish pub called the Irish Indalo. The place would open till 3am in the morning, heaving with mainly Irish holidaymakers. Anyway, a woman came in and asked the Barman if a handbag had been handed in. It was full of all the woman's currency and other worldly possessions. "No" came the answer from the Barman. The reason he gave for the missing bag... "That will be the demon drink." So, having loads of drinks makes someone nick a handbag. Summed up the Irish mentality for me. I have one good Irish mate. The rest I've met have caused nothing but shit and have had the arrogance of Arsene Wenger.

Great analogy

Are there Mods on this site or is blatant bigotry allowed.
Does it depend on the number of posts you have as to how you are treated.

We're not all that bad Frank, come down to Waterford and we'll give you a proper welcome boy. Beware if anyone asks do you want your go

[frankbutcher]

To be honest, this thread has just helped me while away a couple of hours of boredom. Of course not all Irish are arrogant travelling thieves with a tendency to follow Ireland away and partake in good-humoured raucous drinking. I do however get annoyed at the tendency of people to fall over themselves to arse-lick the Irish, yet completely denigrate all of the England fans and our national team. It's a lazy stereotype to describe us as hooligans who think England are the best team in the World. Where this idea comes from, I don't know. Pretty much everyone in England thinks our national side is a laughing stock. FACT. As for our support, the guys that follow England are either in their 20s or 40 somethings still living at home with Mum and Dad. Any known hooligan is banned and the rest don't see the point as Football Violence is over.

The early stages of the argument had Reb involved who is a Mod and is Irish.
He decided to let it run so I have let him take the lead.

Please PM him if you want to discuss the thread.

[frankbutcher]

Are you talking about the bigotry towards the English? References to EDL... to English football hooligans, to rape and pillage in previous generations...

Works both ways mate. FACT.
