Red Skin Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 C'mon you Boys In Green. Let's repay France and Thierry Henry for the Hand of Frog. (See what I did there?) Buffon a class act congratulating Martin O'Neil and Roy Keane at the final whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm not one of those bogus Loyalist types but I really dont get the love in with the Irish Republic.They speak the same lingo but thats it for me and a lot of them dont exactly love the English.

You're not wrong. They generally love it when we lose. Football, Rugby they usually support our opposition. I guess you could argue that's what makes us better, when we like to see them do well.

MichaelRobartes Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I wouldn't say there's much of a Republic love-in on this forum at all. In fact I frequently keep my head down on certain threads for a quiet life. Personally I like to see all the other British Isles teams do well.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 The reason I love the Republic is their fans are pure class. Never in trouble, and always loved by the locals. If there was one international team that deserves a bit of success for their fans it is them. And so what if they want us to lose, I like the Gas losing, doesn't mean I can't have some great friends from the dark side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cross of Saint Patrick which represents the whole of Ireland is one of three flags in the Union Jack. Culturally and historically we are very close with lots of Irish migrants and their descendants in the UK. Our top goalscorer is called Rooney. But most importantly it gives more people the chance to laugh at Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear. Not always the most friendly much like any country's capital city inhabitants. Any Englishman would probably get a warmer welcome in the rest of the Republic of Ireland than a Dubliner too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the country do think they`re well up themselves certainly. If you talk to folks out in Kerry about Dubliners the only people they dislike more are blow-ins from Cork!

One Team In Keynsham Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I have a lot of Irish friends, spend a lot of time in Dublin (always having a good time there), work for an Irish company, think Clontarf is home to the finest curry house I have ever set foot inside, and have seen Ireland play many times at Croke Park and the Aviva. That said, **** them if it comes to wanting them to win anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you're a Munsterman is that the broad feeling within the province? It probably is, though I've never lived there so don't take my word for it. Being brutally honest I probably enjoyed the Heineken Cup wins more than the Grand Slam, though they were all great. BOD is a wum though, he'll remember a time when many Leinster folk supported Munster (Lunsters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
