Will Anthony Stokes be sporting one today pal?

Not sure, pal. I’d have more sympathy with the players as in a lot of cases they are embroidered into the shirts but nonetheless I hope he doesn’t. Fellas appearing in studios, just have to say a simple no to it or just remove it themselves.

Pauline McLynn wearing one on C4 there. Celtic players not wearing one but Ronnie Delia is.

Ronnie clearly aware of the depth of gratitude that is owed to the country in which he is now gainfully employed for the liberation of his native Norway.

you have to laugh at some of the arseholes in this thread, and this perceived “need” to hate the Brits and stick two fingers and what not. FYI Britain and her people love Eire

Says the man taking the queens shillings, I bet you’re the type of cunt who’d apologise to an Englishman for the bombings you forelock tugging, servile cunt

No one give a fuck anymore except barstoolers like you who have watched the battle scene in “the wind that shakes the barley” once too often, and like to fantasize they are in the south armagh brigade. :rolleyes:

Don’t care for republicanism tossy. I just don’t care for pricks like you even more who think it’s cool to belittle the efforts of your country men because it is modern thinking and you live in London. You do know the vast majority of your English mates will be calling you a thick Paddy when you’re not around

#anglo-irish and proud

The paedos/touts bombing pensioners remembering their war dead in Enniskillen on Remembrance Day in 1987 was really brave stuff alright. I take it that’s an act of ‘war’ that you approve of?

correct.

In fairness not every irish lad in england is called a thick paddy behind his back.

aye the PIRA (paedo ira) bombing of Enniskillen was some job alright, some heros those lads, pressing a button or whatever the fuck they done from a mile away, if they had to stand up and fight the British army one on one they would have been wiped out, sure when the SAS were sent into Armagh, they were not long making short work of them when the gloves came off, within a week they had taken out the top pira man in a shed in monaghan

Fuck off trying to offload sensationalist shite on me. No atrocities committed by the English no? The most arrogant people on the face of the Earth, you’re deluded Tossy, you’re there on sufferance

The thought/belief is certainly still alive and present in modern day Britain. It’s been knocking around since the 12th century and I don’t see it shifting in the next few centuries. For as long as lads like myself, @Il Bomber Destro and James McCLean refuse to bow down to their way of thinking they will continue to rationalize us as backward and stupid.

It’s “McClean”, mate.

Yes. Yes, it is.
