That guy was a fucking prick. There's a lot of it about. I know plenty of Celtic fans who don't feel the need to bash huns.
Duty my bollocks.
Oh, and Bono is a prick too.
And I can't express enough how much bollocks you're talkiing. If you know fuck all about it, stfu.

What the fuck are you talking about. There's so much nonsense in that post it's got to be a joke. It is, it's a joke, isn't it.

You were talking so much shite I assumed it was a joke in bad taste. If you were serious then you are simply an idiot who doesn't know what he is talking about.
What have the English got to do with Northern Ireland. They are both part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The English are no more occupying Northern Ireland than they are Scotland or Wales. Likewise the Scots aren't occupying England or Wales or Northern Ireland and so on.
What does any of this have to do with the Americans. It's got to do with the people of the United Kingdom, who have decided on varying degrees of devolution from the Westminster parliament. It was the people of the different parts of the UK who voted on this for themselves. It's also an ongoing process.
The Scots are the best off just now. Scottish MPs get to vote on everything in Westminster. Whereas no English people have any say on how the devolved issues (mainly health, education and law & order)are dealt with in Scotland. I think that's wrong when it comes to issues which will effect only England and I think England should have some power itself. If anything the English are currently the least self-determining.
I suppose the problem is that Detale's been listening to too much bravado from the Irish Ex-Pats he's been working with in New York. Some of us have a bad habit of selecting interesting hyperbole when abroad. They see the genuine fascination in folk and exploit it. Whether its to garner sympathy, respect, fear, whatever. I've seen it done.
I went to New York a couple of years ago and did what I do in Ireland. That is, get really drunk in Irish pubs. Some of the conversations I had were surreal to say the least. One such centred around me having to draw water from the bottom of a well in my garden to bathe in. I convinced this guy that I had to pour half of the water out in tribute so that the Leprechauns wouldn't get offended and steal my first born child. He believed it.

Wow well that didn't go well did it? Again you attack me. In fairness I know I sometimes will come off as rude but that is just the way I joke around. I know you don't know me but it seems most everytime I post here you have some smart ass comment for me. Funny you tell me to grow up when your post has very little content and is mostly insults. Some news: We are ALL ignorant about something as I'm sure if I search your post history I could find something to call you out on as well. I would love for you to show me where I attacked someone without being attacked first, I dare you.
What does Prat mean?
Dude I stick my hand out in friendship and you slap it away, if that is any indication of who you are, then you're an asshole and I feel bad for you.

Wow seems I have a "fan" club now eh, OK fine. J you can kiss my shiny ass, What exactly do you find funny? Perhaps you should specify when breaking my balls, otherwise it makes you look simple ( which I know you are not)
@Chalice. Well IMHO I feel the English shouldn't still be in Ireland as do many many of the Irish nationals I work with here in NYC. I think the USA could at least offer help for getting them out thats all bro. I happen to know that it is a quite well developed, my comment was more about the English than anything else really I didn't mean to offend, perhaps you could enlighten me a bit then? All I'v learned about the conflict is what I have heard from the Irish boys here, Whats your background/stance on it maybe I can learn something.
Also why is it you are being so seemingly hostile? I mean JP eh he's a dick but I have done nothing to you, have I?

I don't even understand what the debate is. Marvin Andrew, a rangers player, regularly wore t-shirts in support of his faith (non-Catholic). Not only was he not vilified for it, he was actually put forward as a good example. You see these "Jesus Loves You" t-shirts on players or the John 3:16 at football grounds all over the World. Or people blessing themselves as they walk onto the park, score a goal, win a game, whatever. Fuck sake Ronaldinho must do it about a dozen times a game. Watch Spanish football and it hapens all the time. It's very common in English football as well, as more foreign players are in their game.
A Polish Catholic wears a t-shirt saying "God Bless The Pope", with a picture of the former Pope (from Poland), it's well recorded that Boruc thinks he was wonderful, and we get all of this.
What has he done wrong. Someone tell me that. If the answer is that it incites people, then it's the people who are being incited we should be looking at. Not him. It's their attitude because it's nothing more than anti-Catholic bigotry.
Fuck off and die, soon.

Detale, I'm tired and I'm going to bed. I'll elaborate in the morning.
I will say this though...the English aren't in Ireland anymore. Northern Ireland hasn't been occupied for quite some time. The English have wanted to be out of the conflict for the last 25 years. They just couldn't withdraw with the state of play as it was. We now have political autonomy.
How could the USA help? Money? We've got that. Peace-keeping occupation? LOL No thanks- we've had that too. Patronising platitudes? We've got those coming out of our ears.
My background? I'm a lapsed catholic from the Falls Road in Belfast.
As I say, tired, bed, more tomorrow.

Sorry you can't make it out.
The chant is "Why don't you go home, why don't you go home, the famine's over, why don't you go home"
It's referring to the Irish potato blight, which led to a famine in which about a million people died of starvation. Many more had to leave their homeland in order to survive. Some of whom came to Scotland. I think anyone can see the racism and insensitivity in that.
Have a good night, I mean it. I appreciate your writing. Of course not an occupation but the US could put pressure on the UK to GTFO. I'm not claiming to have a simple solution at all. Honestly you are the first person who I have spoken with to have these views it's refreshing really. Is this the way you feel most there think or are you in the minority because honestly this is not the picture that was painted for me by other Irish here in NYC.
Also: Lapsed Catholics rock!

Quite right.
To say nothing of Bono- who is Southern in any case.
It is widely believed by Northern Republicans that Southerners couldn't give two fucks about the situation in the North. This is propounded by the fact that Eire has relinquished her constitutional claim on Ulster.
They are wealthy and so, politically uncontentious. In the North (amongst the Nationalist community, at least) it is a bitter stain on the Republic that they sold us out to suffer at the hands of Loyalists.

Wow what a comeback, did you think that up all on your own? What was that about you not being 13?? Surely man I wish you all the best
