But when the Scots did fight us, they put up a much better fight. The Irish rolled over quicker than Nani after an innocuous challenge.
I certainly am. If Mick had lived we wouldn't have partition now. No chance. Too many poloticos and not enough fighters in the pro-treaty camp. It actually suited people like Cosgrove that Collins was whacked. Now were is my tin foil hat?
I bet more Englishmen have been killed over the last millennium by Scots than Irish though. Anyway, I've got no beef with the Emerald Isle. Wouldn't have even mentioned you until you took Spain's side. You Papists eh, always stick together
Honestly Jip, I love you when you come out with tripe like that. Let's do a survey of the deaths of English soldiers in the last thousand years ya mad bastard We would win by the way
Hmm the multiple rebellions throughout the troubled occupation of Ireland would suggest otherwise. Elizabeth I had to quell one, Cromwell was near driven out by Hugh o'Neill until he succumbed to disease, the 1798 battle at Enniscorthy was all but won until the Irish soldiery celebrated victory too hastily and got drunk before the end and were subsequently routed, IRB rebellions throughout the 1800s, Easter rising of 1916, War of Independence in the early 20s and more recently a 30 year period of strife resulting in hundreds of British military fatalities Rolled over my arse. The British have had more than their fair share of luck when it came to this island
That's two threads you have hijacked in the space of a few minutes by personally attacking a poster. It was the Englishman Jip who mentioned Ireland anyway.
But the thread was about Spain vs Britain until the Irish needlessly entered the fray. Why defend Spain? Or is it just a case of "have a go at Britain/England every chance you get"?
You came on that other thread asking someone 'who the **** is this ****' or similar and you came on here asking why us '****s keep hijacking threads'. It's a message board. People will talk about stuff you have no interest in. I know, I have to read your posts. I will let you off with an apoligy seeing as it was Jip who 'hijacked' this thread.
