Thing this writer was living in a bit of a green-tinged fantasy world.

 

[Geoff Hurst]

Don’t know if anyone has told him it’s over why don’t he go home

 

[Ta Phyra Loyal]

What a total fanny

 

[Rudolph Hucker]

His first-born is a perfect description of the Plastic Paddy - “if he chooses to be Irish, so be it”. As nauseating as it is pathetic as it is illogical.

With chips like that non both shoulders you just know there will never be another totty famine.

Scotland -irelands colony in britain

Edit:that's a reference to Scotland's historical roots, not some hysterical any imigrant comment

The headline and photo are enough for me never to read that article. I can guess at it’s one-sided propaganda. Kim Jung-Un would be proud.

Surely there must be some people of Irish Catholic heritage, who absolutely cringe at this tripe ?

Just another sad bitter tartan/mentally challenged bawsack story by a bitter tartan/mentally challenged clown who doesn't know reality from myth.What a waste of space in a newspaper.

Not sure? They tend to stick together. You only need to look at the Irish in the US. Still they rattle on about being Irish-American 150 years on. Most others just assimilated.

“Preferring to identify themselves as Irish... perhaps because of West of Scotland sectarianism.”

To be honest it’s quite refreshing to see an article admit that indigenous Glaswegians support Ireland because they are sectarian.

Yep. Look at Trump going there for photo ops two weeks back. His retarded offspring poured the worst pints of stout I’ve ever seen. All for the 30 million Irish American vote in 2020 election.
