Ah yes a large melting pot of cultures .... where else would you get it, eh?er,London full of er,Brits & numerous other nationalities........
It's a bit homogenous over here on Erin's misty shores .... outside it's sunny, the birds are singing and the little Union Flag continues to proudly flutter on the Cenotaph.

Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
St Patrick, for the majority of us. For the rest - it doesn't matter, as it's an excuse for a session. For the tiny minority that are yesterday's men, St George, probably
Fun fun fun. Not quite as cool as having a country named after you!
You can't spell failure without FAI
If this is true why don't the English flock over to Italy to see Milan play? Why don't ex pat Brits in Italy follow them?
I mean the Irish flock to Glasgow to see an club formed by an Irishman but the English don't do the same for an 'english' club in Italy.
Fair play to them for turning gloryhunting down.
I think the 'Irish' - North & South - flock to any old enormo-dome on the mainland to the detriment of the local game.If this is true why don't the English flock over to Italy to see Milan play? Why don't ex pat Brits in Italy follow them?

Milan and Genoa (two English-founded clubs, hence the usage of their English, rather than 'native', names) are hardly a short Easyjetter away now.
Haven't been in Dublin for a while so? It's a veritable melting pot and all the better for it. In fairness Belfast is dull as fook compared to our cosmopolitan capital city.Ah yes a large melting pot of cultures .... where else would you get it, eh?

Your not on the Aran islands are yer, if yer are which one.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Ryanair during their 1p sales to Bergamo? No excuses for the English not to see their sides (BTW, Athletic Bilbao is another side but when I was there the place was full of Irish tricolours - and no they didn't have Celtic across them, Dev, oops, Dav).
Anyway, the St George's cross as a sign of Englishness is a smokescreen. When the club was founded, Englishness was portrayed in a flag with the Butchers' apron. The St. George's flag is a recent addition: as a tan mate of mine told me recently: 'The [apron] is redundant. I'd only use it to wipe my ar*e with the blue bit.' And people accuse ME of being anti-British!I think you'll see the St George's cross on the shields on the old pre-war Italian flag: something about their own highest paid dole drawer - who had his benefits stopped just after the war - coat of arms.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!

Im 'down there' all the time, Rovers, and, as for your last point, you'll get little disagreement from me there

This has nada to do with football, nor has it anything to do with anything a reasonable (Irish) person. This is off to off topic, and see whetehr Macy reckons it is deemed rubbish worthy.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
I agree. What's this got to with foot.ie?
