Republic of Ireland WNT - We're all part of Vera and Tony O'Donoghues Army

The dream scenario would be to draw one of the co hosts alright. The Italians wouldn’t be a bad draw either.

What have Cheasty and the Ra got in common? They have both only got one I.

[StoneCold]

There you have it, a woman claiming that treatment being foistered upon our girls is misogynistic. I’ll take her word for it

[backinatracksuit]

It actually hasn’t pissed off your snowflakes at all, the girls are being roundly supported

@StoneCold

An Englishwoman as well

[Thomas_Brady]

Very, very unlike her to play the misogyny card.

[estebandaface]

They’ve formally apologised

What more are people looking for here? What punishment do people want ?

@Cheasty

@carryharry

@Cheasty appears to have the unusual suspects dancing to his merry tune.

They’ve come at me one after the other and been blown away like the PIRA lads at Loughgall.

Metaphorically speaking they’re all lying there dead in the van.

Rumplestiltskin again. Or the pigeon on the chess board if you prefer. I like both.

@estebandaface

We’ll let you away with that because your boss is a Limerickwoman, you’re allowed say it

She’s gone apeshit herself sure singing Sean South around the house in solidarity

[Breaking_my_balls]

It was far across the sea…

@Lazarus

@dodgy_keeper mentioned this last night, this whole episode will prove a massive boost for SF. All they need to do to win a landslide next time is keep showing that interview on repeat throughout the election campaign. Nothing boils green blood more than being talked down to by some tan cunt

@dodgy_keeper is a serious political shrewdie alright and he hanging off RODs every pronouncement

[TheUlteriorMotive]

That’s shite too. If it was men they’d be more vilified. Making it about men versus women when it isn’t that at all.

I conceded no point. No matter how often you decide for me what i meant or what it means… i believe 2 similar outcomes can be very very different. I’d rarely take offence at the forum racist @ChairmanDan when he calls us paddy or mick. He’s fairly irish and is usually just trying to wind us up, something he succeeds in regularly fair play to him.
I did however, take offence in england when i lived there and was called a fucking paddy. I really thought the sliding scale of the justice system was as good an example for you as i could get but you remain resolutely absolute, as is your way. Old testament Sid. Ironically, like Putin and Thatcher, the lad is not for turning.

[Batigol]

@Cheasty should they all be dropped?

[ChairmanDan]

@Juhniallio

Its not. Again thats your opinion, not fact. I and many other people would draw distinctions. There was stupidity and innocence in singing it for the irish ladies. And no malice or forethought. This is the opposite of the kingsmill bread lad, who did it as a fuck you. With malice. The McAreavey song is malicious. She wasnt political and was murdered abroad as part of a robbery, nothing to do with the north. Her death being celebrated is because of her Catholicism. Because her dad was gaa royalty. Again malicious. And very weird.

You earlier said that northern ireland is just that because we voted for the good friday agreement and that SFaccepted that. So did the IRA. They were validated by it as part of the agreement. By your logic you have to accept that too. They exist or existed and it wad part of the peace process. They dont exist just as terrible people who did terrible things.

As for your contention that ‘it’s the reality of what it means that matters’… meanings change over time. And they change by popular opinion. Like the current debate about vaccines and what was known when. People’s opinions have changed. So the reality has changed. You dont get to draw the exact line on whats a fact or whats acceptable. White people using n**ger isnt, but it was once.
Your opinion of what it means right now is different to mine and many others. Again, your are not the supreme arbiter of right and wrong, and the sliding scale between.

@Fagan_ODowd

It’s patently not acceptable for these ladies to be chanting in favour of a terrorist organization who were the sworn enemies of the 26 county state these ladies represent. If this chant is so ingrained in the cultural landscape that these ladies inhabit, then quite simply that has to change.

@Fagan_ODowd absolutely nails it. What are they teaching in schools nowadays in modern history and current affairs?

What says it all is the 21 likes for that utter codswallop that @Juhniallio posted up.

[iron_mike]

The only issue here is thar sky are the sponsors. If it was hilarys house of pain in clondalkin written on the jersey, nooone would give a fuck. Id just like to clarify, Im not aware of any establishment named Hilarys house of pain in Clondalkin

[gilgamboa]

I see loads of fellas on twitter saying “you couldn’t go to a wedding in Ireland without this being sung”

Utter utter bollox. I’d say I didn’t hear anyone singing it in about 20 years in real life and definitely never at a wedding ffs

You’re from Cork, in fairness.

The Union Jack is more likely to be draped at the table of the bridal party, never mind Rebel songs sung later on.

Go and ask your fishmonger buddy about Irish patriotism.

The current teachings are pro ra. In pre school they teach them e i e i o
