Much of the media followed the tone of it being wrong to upset IRA supporters. Astonishing doesn’t do it justice. Unfortunately the Irish seem to have swept the fact that the IRA were murdering terrorist scum under the carpet and re branded them as just a part of Irish culture and history and were such soft bastards we’ve just gone along with it and won’t say anything in case we offend them. I honestly cannot believe how many ordinary Irish people support the IRA, go into any Irish pub down here and you’ll hear IRA songs playing on the jukebox and we just allow it, imagine if that was Muslims playing songs glorifying ISIS? They’d be locked up! Yet somehow the Irish republicans have rewritten history and not just made it acceptable to support them but made it so we bloody apologise for being anti Ira as if it somehow equates to being anti Irish! This country sickens me sometimes! Also as an English man living in England I can say without doubt no matter what the taigs try to say the vast majority of football fans down here support Rangers or at least have a soft spot for us and despise the taigs. The only ones who prefer celtic are the plastic paddy’s who believe they’re somehow Irish because their granddads brother once went to Dublin and had a pint of Guinness! markem and theredhandofNewcastle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Couldn't really give to fuck about England and their fans, find it a bit plastic paddy-esque clinging onto them, but i do like when they sing GIRUY Zsongs to the tartan army and IRA.

Briton 394 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Many people down here don't regard themselves as English; in any case, I've lived and worked in many locations in Southern Britain but have always regarded England as the (sporting) enemy. I've known plenty of non-English Brits who have a similar attitude. 'Bizarre' my arse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as my point was if you hate England so much as in your quote "fuck England" why do you live/work there if you hate it/ us so much? And as someone who is southern English most of the above post is bollocks!!

Briton 394 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It is not bollocks at all. Most non English Brits I know consider England the enemy when it comes to sport and I wouldn't describe those who consider themselves Cornish not English a 'very small minority' either. Depends where you are and of course there's a lot of English people who have moved into the little land beyond England. I live and work where I want to. I absolutely despise Saudi and it's culture but I have worked there. I didn't say I hate England, although there's a lot about their culture I hate, that's a phrase you were triggered into using. I'm talking about sport and if people come on here posting videos of Engerland supporters I will say fuck them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
