yeh true

real shame france arent getting any games at all RL is going well over there

You mean the country that owns your stadium?

Some twisted logic there! How do you leap to that conclusion from my observations! I've never voted tory in my life, and never will. I said they were debt-ridden (Government bonds rated as junk by moodys with bail outs from Europe and the UK affirm this), Anglo-phobic (based on personal experience in Dublin and Galway) and backward (I concede this may be harsh, but outside of Dublin its easy to believe, especially in the fiercely RC areas where attitudes are medieval).

1) Its not our stadium - we only rent it.
2) Your country may own the stadium following the rescue of BoI by the Irish Govt - but don't forget your COUNTRY is now owned by Europe and owes my country a great deal of money(which I doubt we'll ever see back). In short, your country will take a long time to repay its debts, and many of your country's assets will have to be sold off to do that, and I dread to think what the ordinary working folk in your country will have to suffer to pay for the vanity of Irish politicians who used European money to fund the myth of the Celtic Tiger economy (good name for a RL club).

That Celtic Tiger is now a rug in front of a German fireplace!

I have generally found it is mainly either upper middle class people or right wing numpty's who have this skewed image of the Irish. These are the same people who traditionally vote Tory...I am sorry that I got it so wrong. You are obviously a Left wing Bigot






Don't disagree that the country is up the proverbial creek........but then again, the UK is hardly all Milk and Honey either is it?


I have met many an agressive, drunk, foul mouthed RL supporter from North of Watford...I tend not to tar you all with the same brush though. That said, after 730 years of occupation and persecution, they have every right to treat the English with a little contempt, but most don't.



Backward eh....you have a better chance of being shot, stabbed, physically attacked, raped, gang raped, burgled, catching aids, being a drug adict, alcoholic

and pretty much anything else nasty happening to you in the UK per head per capita than in the Republic of Ireland. Just because culchies are country people with country values doesn't make them "backward" you pompous English Tw@....no wonder you got grief in Dublin and Galway.

I can only agree with Gutter fax, and i'm English!!! Having lived over here for 6 years i can safely say i would never move back

Bit of an Anglophobe diatribe there - you Irish by any chance

Hate is not the word. I'm irish, and quite frankly, have you been to more than 2 places in Ireland? I would go as far as to say as this is Racism, and according to the AUP:



Anglohating? Backward Nation? That's Stereotyping, That's Racism mate.

No, I commented on the crime rate in 2 respective countries.....just because it's higher in England, there's no need to get all defensive



Born in London, but the Passport has a nice Harp on it.....and you'll love this......I went to a Dublin Union playing Boarding School....

By the way, Culchie and proud of it!

I'm an honarory Bogger living in the heart of boggerland, love it and would not live anywhere else(bar barbados or oz

)

With the attitude like that, I'm sure I know why! I've taken many English People to Ireland (north of Dublin in fact) and I've never seen anything but banter between him and the Celts in the pub. I've even brought a Rangers fan up to Drogheda, and all he got was a bit of a laugh and a joke.

Feckin' rednecks

Jackeen!! (albeit an exiled one!)

Vous n'etes q'une bande de rost biefs.

That's easy for you to say.....
