I stopped going to England games in the late 90s as I got sick and tired of the same old jingoistic WW2, anti IRA bollocks. How people think it helps the team is totally beyond me.

Mind, I do get irritated by the snoring at Vicarage road sometimes - it often wakes me up!

There is a minority of regressive *****s who think it is acceptable to drag the political and religious past up at a football match.

Mindy is one of those *****s along with Mick, Rebel and Ciaran. Definitely a few of the dimmer Huns too.

It isn't. I honestly don't think singing Irish Republican songs at the Football by people who haven't a clue what they are singing about is OK but I don't give that much of a **** to be whining about it on one of the most offensive message boards on the Internet.

If a song or a joke offends you then you are a spastic ...

Again, there is no correlation between the two.

Nobody has paid an entry to this place, it is also mostly anonymous and I seriously doubt there are any children present. The only reason for bringing it into the discussion is because you cannot clearly defend your position.

Who on here said they were offensive? They are distasteful and inappropriate for the time and the place.
