    How about David O'Leary, Liam Brady, Frank Stapelton and Niall Quinn? From what I have heard, back in the 60s and 70s Arsenal were the big Irish club in London. Areas such as Crickelwood were full of Irish people who supported Arsenal.

    My nomination for the post of the month.

    Actually, I think Liddle has hit the nail on the head, the South African sh*tebag (Funny how he didn't mention the English born we supposedly poached ). Its purely irredentism, all this supporting Ireland when their sides don't make it (1994), like we're all the same country. Yeah, why don't they f*ck off and follow France? More of them now in their overated league. Anyway he likes it, I doubt none of his In-ger-land bum chums could have received the ecstacy of Ireland failing to qualify as I get when the scum get f*cked out. It's f*cking 'Tan-tastic': Just as good as Ireland winning, IMO. Even better when I think of Liddle Rod next summer.
    This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!

    The poster said in the last decade I don't recall any of these players playing many games for Arsenal in the last 10 years and as far as I can remember Martin Keown chose to declare for England not Ireland.

    This ****e by whoever this tosser is happens to be pretty tame stuff compaired to the stuff that used to be fired out in the 60's 70's and 80's over here by the media which was just pure incitment to hatred towards us, in some aspects I somewhat agree with whoever this tory boy is.

    I'm pretty glad his mates were cheering on the Swiss, this we're all part of the ******* Isles b@llocks that sections of the media seem to have towards us nowadays and lumping us in with them and Scotland, Wales and that pub team that beat the self crowned 2006 world champions the other month ****es me off. Not that i go out of my way to read put down articles written about us by the tan media due to the fact that our own football writers in Ireland are doing that job pretty well, but this article has made my day.

    Have too look out for what he says when the self appointeted football master race don't win the World cup they cliam to already have won.
    Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.

    He wrote a similar article after Ireland's elemination from the 2002 World Cup (in which he interestingly asserted that Ireland were awarded 7 penalties ) supports Milwall apparently which, the last two points demonstrate his knowlege of football.
    He was meant to be part of what was termed an 'anti-fenian caucus' that allegedly existed at the Guardian a couple of years back, along with the likes of Burchill, when some particularly nasty anti-Irish rubbish was coming from the paper. Oh well some Ingerlish are happy we are not going, so what; I'm more upset that we're not going then what some idiots think. Wonder who the rest of the world would have rather had Ireland or Ingerland, not a hard one.
    Big question is will their Supporters club will be able to have the subheading 'Ingerland Supporters; riot free since 2004' by the end of next summer?

    As the good senior said. i'm pretty glad him and his lady friends wanted to see us lose. It beats all the annoying ****e on the run up to USA94 when they laid claim to us and had loads of so called celebs and media over there supporting us, ****ing bugging it was.

    If people in Ireland watched and took an interest of more of what's going on in Ireland instead of worrying what some two bit tan hack had too say, the country would be better off.

    BTW, Does anyone know what the Swiss media made of the match rather that some tory ****** seeing that's who we were playing.

    Whats the story with that sl*g Julie Burchill, is she still doing programes on cable tv about the under class, which she is all the time claiming to be from. I can back up that **** sure does come from it.

    Hmm, interesting piece of myopic journalism by the fair Mr Liddle. At first I thought it was a classic tongue in cheek dig at us too-rye ahh Oirish pleb's. Then I thought,(After a dozen or so pints of stout and breaking me fiddle over me knee) how boorish can one be? I must come up with a retort. After much soul searching and the racking of the brain to find some eloquent, yet devilish acidic verbage to defend my country's honour, I've decided sir, that you are indeed a gob****e of the highest order.

    I would have thought about this much longer, but alas, I must finish white-washing the outside of the cottage, repair the thatched roof and take the donkey for a walk. You can come for walkies with your twin anytime you want, seeing that you insist on making an ass out of yourself.

    I don't know why everyone is getting so worked up about. That sort of rubbish is always out there. If anyone takes it so seriously then stop buying the paper and email them to let them know your reasons.

    i dont think anyone is getting worked up, just giving thier view on the article, of course the obvious thing would be to stop buying the paper. But stating the obvious us not what this is about.

    Ahh, the fragrant Burchill. She's the Queen of Babe-a-lonia...not! Or as I prefer to call her, 'Giant Haystacks in Drag.' I remember one of her rants - tricolour is like the swastika and lies about how we supported Hitler during the war (no mention of the German lady's uncle getting friendly with the bloke) cos Dev decided to offer his condolences upon his death - because I was out topping up the tan (my own skin I should add) with a beer in my hand when Conchita decided to wreck the day by handing me a copy of the Saturday Grauniad supplement. I did exactly what you say we should do Duffman, and I reckon the ugly c*nt was gone within months (to the same said Murdoch rag as liddlepr*ck). Take it they got a few more emails that day than mine.

    I actually quite like the Guardian usually. The anti-Irish stuff must have been before I started buying it. Kevin McCarra is a very good football writer.

    Wsan't Liddle having an affair with some young one last year & his response to the affair being publicised was really arrogant and his nonchalence was pretty insulting to his wife? I think he also writes for The Spectator which AFAIK is effectively an in-house Tory magazine popular among the xenophobic element in British society. Julie Burchill is a moron as well.

    Can anybody explain to me why every news and broadcasting organisation treats the Republic as if it were one of the home nations


    Well for a start, SKY's covergae is sold outright to UK & Rep.of Ireland so they'd be selling Irish subscribers short if they DIDN'T cover us in some degree of detail.

    In any event, I hate the patronising approach taken by BBC & ITV to Irish football. Poorly researched & patronising (Barry Davies excepted) it only ever scratches the surface. I'm p1ssed off hearing "ah, the Irish, well their spirit will see them through" ignoring the fact that our football was probably better than theirs in WC02.

    I didn't hear Rod Liddle complain when a Sth African won the Ashes for them though that's a different topic.
