Didn't make it past the first minute - in which those buffons talked about Derry Ultras as "The big dogs" and indulged in a degree of minor racism by talking about "get your jig on" for a visit to Dublin - whilst doing a little dance on the spot.Quote:

I'd a colleague who was fretting about their child being bullied in school and that it was because of their nationality. I asked if she was sure that it wasnt just cause her kid was being a little sh1t and a week later she came back and said yup, her kid was being bullied for beng a little sh1t and not due to rasicism - I dont see hings as always rooted in some form of racism, well imo people see it a lot more than its actually there, but maybe I turn a blind eye too.
Im not suggesting these guys wouldnt annoy some people in their Clarkson, May and Hammond wanna be efforts. But they do promote the league even if it causes some cringe like the with 'so called ultras' looking about 10 years old.
Honestly the suggestion that "get your jig on" is in any way racist is probably offensive to anyone who has experienced real racism.
As a society we're far too quick to take offence these days. (I think there's studies linking it to dopamine release? So it's actually addictive in its own way)
That said, there's certainly good ground hopper blogs and not so good ones.
