[quote=“cluaindiuic”]To identify him specifically as Lithuanian in a insulting manner is not racist.
It’s xenophobic

no it’s not you pedantic kilkenny cunt :rolleyes:
The trout fishing in Galway is not what it used to be.
[quote=“HangBlaa”]What’s racist or slurred about ‘some Lithuanian coont’, you fooking Leitrim lepjack. The chap on the door was both Lithuanian and a coont, making the statement factually correct. I have nothing against Lithuanians, i do have something against Lithuatian coonts though, the reason, the coont bit.
And, it was race week, the pubs are supposed to be full, and if it wasn’t for the likes of the two mentioned members of our party there would be no fooking race week, and no need for the Park to have ‘lithuanian coonts’ on the door of a Wednesday.
Back to Galway criticisms. It’s in the same province as Leitrim.[/quote]
Didnt you know, Lithuanian doormen are a defined race of people, different from the standard Lithuanian.
In response this crisis Galway people are meeting tonight to launch a ‘Love Galway’ campaign. As pathetic and cringeworthy as it sounds it would appear that it’s the only way to recover our dignity. If anyone has any pointers please let us know at

Thanks all.
I hate the way Galway tries to portray itself as some sort of bohemian paradise
No it doesn’t. Thats the way people portray it.
Fuck them soap dodgers anyways.
shower of pavies up there

I agree. It is that to some people (crustaceans) and so they see it as that. But it’s not that to a lot more of us. Not to the locals anyway. The crusties are by and large a bunch of misfits who had the good fortune to find a friendly city that won’t lynch them. Good luck to them.
When I think of Galway I get a mental image of scummers hanging around Supermacs in the square
What’s this ‘we’ business?
Does the silver-haired Rocky still hold sway on the door of CPs? An alright sort if ever there was one.

Go way out of that will ya.
If yer man was Irish you wouldn’t have said ‘some Irish coont on the door’. You threw Lituanian in front of it so as to categorise the doorman as a big, bad foreigner out to get us. I’ll admit - racism is the wrong term, it is xenophobia.
The door man’s job is to stop people going into pubs if they are too full. And the pub was. Sorry to break this to you but if your mates weren’t around I would doubt there will be no Galway Races.
I see HBV has had his speak as well - the most narky fook I have ever experienced on here.

thank you for explaining racism and xenophobia for us all and for going to the trouble of giving us an example to help us distinguish between them, again many thanks for clarifying the role of a doorman and the workings of the Galway racing festival.
thanks again, its appreciated.

You are correct, in that if he was Irish , I would not have written ‘Irish Coont’, I would have instead written somethig along the lines of ‘Galway coont’ or ‘Cork Coont’ depending on where I deciphered his accent to be from.
Also, there would be no Galway races without Owners and Trainers, that is a no brainer.
Can you just sign on and get your dole in Galway without anyone ever asking you to look for a job?
No one works in Galway. They all just sit out in the rain smoking weed and plating each others hair.
Yup, Sign on, tune in, cop out!
Wretched bodily odours in packed traditional bars on a wet winters day are standard in galway.
