Robbored Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Felt sorry for the Irish - they looked fairly comfortable until superstar worked his magic with two excellent headers. It was tough on them especially as the winner came in added time. They looked devastated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though admittedly far less the case now than in the last 30 years.. Because they can't find much talent in Ireland, if you listened to any Irish pundits in the Summer you'd realise they really do not like England, it is something that Irish are brought up to do support Ireland and anyone playing England, much like Wales and Scotland. It makes me laugh that when an English person says they don't support Scotland and Wales (Simon Jordan before the Euros) it gets them on the defensive. I'm not obligated to support any of them considering how much dislike they have for millions of English people they've never met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is 'blindly' hating it's you. Unless of course you have met all citizens of the Republic of Ireland and assessed their feelings towards England, the UK, the English, British. Social Media gives you what you will like in terms of news etc. The evidence you see is actually a reflection of you, not reality. Reinforcing your hatred of others by feeding you 'stories' that reinforce your negative feelings and opinions of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in Dublin going back just over 5 years ago and the banter we received for being English on site was embarrassing.. I personally couldn’t give a flying **** about any of them, all of them are insignificant to me and I would much rather we compared ourselves to countries that are economically and sportingly on the same level as us. For me the home nations and the ROI just have a case of small mans syndrome, it’s understandable really as England is far superior in the vast majority of aspects as opposed to them so it’s natural for them to feel animosity - sad but true.
