Had loads of Irish mates over the years. Played football for 12 years for an Irish club here and had absolutely no bother whatsoever.

My best man is from Dublin and has performed those duties twice admirably. We've been numerous times to Ireland and crossed into the North last time. I'm sure there are some bell ends with anti English sentiments as there are anti Irish bell ends a plenty, personally I've never had a problem in my 25years of being around them. Cracking lads & lasses imo.

Yes but these type of lazy ' look at the English' stereotypes sometimes get applied to everyone including some of the dafter ones. For all those you listed I know far more people who would laugh at people like that than would actually fit the stereotype.

I’m eligible for a paddy passport, but I’ve never really considered it tbh - even to remain European.

You might be the same mate, but do you have any embarrassing plastic paddy family? I have one that has a mock accent :lol:

I live in Europe, Spanish missus and child so it made sense. My dad was Irish and took me to Roker Park (RIP) so hes given me two wonderful things in life.
For the 90 euro it cost me I'm now one of Jacks boys in Green!

It’s never felt right to do tbh mate. I get the Brexit proofing but I’m not Irish.

If they're happy to call you Irish, then you're Irish. Do you not enjoy the odd half of Guinness, or a glass of Bailey's?

I'd have one like a shot, if I found one of my grandmothers had accidentally been born in Ballymoney or somewhere :lol:
 
Had a mate once who worked in Dublin and he perceived anti-english sentiment was very strong. He would get into taxis and sometimes receive smarky comments such as "you better behave yourself here" (wider perception that the English are disrespectful and unruly) as well instances of people shouting IRA slogans at him in pubs.

Shite bait by the OP, but not unexpected from him tbf


Pretty much this as I say every tedious time this thread pops up it’s ugly head.

The Irish don’t hate the English or any other nationality we just don’t tolerate cunts, simple solution, don’t behave like a cunt and you won’t get treated like a cunt

They are sound in the main, few arseholes like everywhere else.
I had a gun pulled on me in the late bar of Jury’s Ballsbridge about 20 years ago.
Got told to fuck off we don’t serve English in a pub in Dungarven.

Other than that, that’s about it in well over a hundred trips over there.
