Niall Quinn Has Failed - Oirish Not as Thick as He Expected

[SunderlandBohs]

So people have a problem with Quinn, Keane & the media not Sunderland? I think its unfair to paint all Sunderland fans with the same brush. Just as it is unfair to say all Rovers/Bohs fans are scum just because a hand full go out to cause trouble. Its not like we never had any interest in Ireland before Keane took over. After all Charlie Hurley & Billy Bingham did play for us. Hence why we had a decent fan base North & South of the border before Keane came on the sence. I agree with you about the Irish media's & bar stoolers interest in Sunderland. They are the same people who would shout for anyone against Sunderland when McCarthy was there but now ,all of a sudden, are Sunderland 'fans'.

Why all the anti-Sunderland talk? So every Sunderland fan in the world is a band wagon jumper? I tell you why Royal Rover why I fly to the North East to see McShane & co. Because I'm a loyal supporter. I was there when Gabbadini, Bennett & co were there & if we're relagated to the Blue Square North I'd still be there. So get over yourselves lads. We've been around since 1879 & we'll be around for other 129 years. SAFC isn't just about Roy Keane, Saint Niall Quinn or the 'Irish Invasion'. So get use to it fellas, heroes come & go but Sunderland will always be here! Ha'way the Lads!!

Absolutely no problem with lads like yourself i actually feel sorry for lads like as you as genuine supporters, my hatred lies for these idiots who decide lets go and watch sunderland this season, the majority of which either supported or support the united and liverpools of this world - or satelite supporters, rightly so sunderland as club we long there after quinn sells up and keane gets the sack for spending 40 million, i was at home for xmas - the biggest cheer of the day in the pub wasn't even the fact the west ham had beaten man united, it was that sunderland had won 2.1, sums it up really

I don't think anyone harbours any animus towards the club per se.

Me neither. I have met a few Sunderland supporters (real ones, not Oirish) and they were lovely people. Mind you, Sunderland is an ABSOLUTE ****hole of a city. Has nothing going for it. I could understand a weekend for paddies in Manchester or London with a soccer match thrown in. But Sunderland makes Limerick look like Paris or Milan.

It's not Sunderland and their supporters. It's Quinn's Colonial British mindset trying to fool the O'Coolies which is the issue. Along with the retards in the Irish media and business.

You'd be very surprised so, Limerick over the last few years is a great place to go out in.

And Milan is over-rated
