    Ten most hated people in Irish history

    http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/hi...ry-PHOTOS.html

    And the way things are going, we may see JD in there soon!

    Not sure about Churchill who in his days as a Liberal supported Home Rule and got heckled in Belfast by Unionists.

    Hated by both sides? Sounds like the ideal qualification.

    My not entirely serious list:

    10 Paul Hewson
    9 Charlie Haughey
    8 James Joyce
    7 Billy Sands
    6 Dick ****whittington
    5 Billy Hutchinson
    4 Stephen Nolan
    3 Ian Paisley sr
    2 Dana Scallon
    1 JD Wetherspoon

    Well now, if we are doing personal choices, I would go something like (in no particular order):

    10-08) RTE Panel Gang of 3
    7) Bertie Ahern
    6) Roy Keane
    5) Charlie Haughey
    4) Billy Bingham
    3) Ian Paisley Sr
    2) Gerry Adams
    1) Eamonn DeValera

    Respect

    1) John Hume
    2) Jack Charlton
    3) Robbie Keane
    4) Michael Collins
    5) Gareth Fitzgerald
    6) Mick McCarthy
    7) Brian Boru
    8) Charles Stewart Parnell
    9) Daniel O'Connell
    10) Phil Lynott

    ((Probably get a red card from Bennocelt for both lists))

    Good game, some perhaps surprising overlap:

    1 Anyone who scores the goal to qualify for France 2016
    2 John Hume
    3 Stiff Little Fingers
    4 Finn McCool
    5 Uptown Boyd Rankin
    6 Eddie Coll
    7 Ken Branagh (although not in Wallander)
    8 Jimmy Galway
    9 Mary Peters
    10 Naomi Long

    Kind of out of touch, though it's a Yank-based site, god bless 'em.

    On any hate list would be:
    Roy Keane (also on the like list)
    Thierry Henry
    Dudu Scumbag
    Martin Johnson
    Enda Kenny
    Bankers

    I am also surprised that Diarmuid McMurrough is up there and not Pope Adrian IV, it was his Bull that handed Ireland to the genocidal maniac Henry II.

    Which ad? I think I hate them all.

    Though that kid in the new AIB ad would be ran over if his bike crossed my path.

    Anyone richer than me. Which at the minute is a good 75% of the population. You're all ba$tards.
