Country Discussion: Ireland

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Me ma's family were all Irish. Not far from Tipperary.

That's a long way....

I must say, it is nice to see so many English head patters in here. Conveniently ignoring 800 odd years of atrocities. I’ll let you into a secret lads, when you visit Ireland everyone hates you.

Adopted as an infant and recently discovered my birth parents were Irish as were generations of their forebears so a top o' the mornin' t'yer.

…ah, thats a brilliant story, so pleased you got to find that detail out.

My great, great grandparents came over to Liverpool from County Cork. I’ve always thought it explains my love of Guinness and horse racing.

It would be annoying to be defined by a watery 4% stout though, owned by the huge Irish company - Diageo

Yes, had a lot of help with research from professionals and DNA testing and whatnot. Mothers family from Wexford and Fathers from Cork. Discovered some cousins in Birkenhead.
Still a Croydon heart though.

Is this actually a real thing? My brain can’t work out hating a 25 year old person for something that someone did 800 years ago.

Sorry to hear about you having cousins in Birkenhead.

It certainly is. @Prevenger17 has been banned before for sending angry PMs to random scouse posters when pissed.

Small knobs (apparently). "The Irish Curse" they call it.

 

[Tipp blue]

If the Irish want to have a united Ireland they should be made to take Lincolnshire with them. Fairs fair.

Nope we get to chose the county we take... you don't get to pawn off any old s***hole on us.

So......you are over qualified to play for them.
