Lets not lose sight of the real issue here.

Which are better - cats or dogs?

[paul_oshea]

cats are evil and sly - they are like women.
Dogs are nice and friendly - they are like men.

I don't really care how Willie Boland is doing at Hartlepool but there's a difference between a 31 year old in League 2 and the progress of the Irish players at Sunderland.

I'm not too pushed about Boland either, but I do still keep an eye on how Hartlepool are doing, I want to see as many Irish players as possible succeeding on any level.
I'd imagine there are some fans on this board who've never heard of Boland, and think anyone who does check up on him is only wasting their time.

Saw Boland play for cardiff years ago.

Cats are better btw!

lads ...patriotism is like being part of a family, you look out for one another...i hate liverpool but i love it when stevie finnan has a great game, makes me feel proud to be honest...same with any other irish player....what i despise is a fellow countryman shouting down his compatriot for an eglish team i.e liverpool fans calling keane a knacker when he was playing against him and calling gerard a legend...sickens me

What about people who are not patriotic and don't believe in the concept of nationalism.

it's an accident of birth you know

[citizenerased]

Patriotism and nationalism comes from the same tree, they cannot exist independently of each other....not in this country anyway

Did anyone else share my joy in Sunderland being well beaten on the weekend ?

Great news today. Congratulations to Nial, Roy and all the Irish players at Sunderland.

It was the same when Abramovich took Chelsea over. I didn't see any 20, 30, 40 year old's start supporting Chelsea then but you'll see plenty of kids supporting them.

I was in a pub in Drogheda one afternoon a couple of years ago watching Everton on the big screen wearing an Everton shirt and a bloke came up to me to tell me he was a big Chelsea fan too. I kid you not, the guy was in his fourties!

Chelsea had an excellent team in the 1970s and 1980s so there plenty people about who follow Chelsea who are over 12 years of age .

[Paddy Garcia]

I am sure I read that Paul McGrath was one.

Couldn't trawl back through the pages to see if anyone else noticed this,
but most of the new Sunderland "fans" I've seen in work/around town etc
are the same people who suddenly developed an interest in playing cricket
a month or so ago.

Sunderland are a novelty that will wear off if they are struggling next year.

Shur Paul McGrath isn't Irish

[citizenerased]
