ok so some in northern ireland still shout no surrender only a few but does it deserve remarks like these from a fellow blogger
My favourite moment of the week: Irish performance: I enjoyed seeing Ireland beat Cyprus and I enjoyed watching Wales shut up the NI bigots with a great victory.
Villains of the Week: NI bigots: The NI bigots, some draped in union jacks, booed the Welsh national anthem at the top of their lungs and then proceeded to boo John Hartson throughout the game purely because he plays for Celtic. A shower of bigots and a pack of animals.
Quote of the Week: "Buses containing Northern Ireland supporters (including women and children) were attacked today by masked republican youths in Belfast, on their way to the game."The fans on the bus that my friends travelled to the game on (containing women and children) was subjected to sectarian taunts and stone throwing by Celtic shirt clad scumbags en route. "Very sad news indeed. These are the people that UI wishes us to appease..the people whose "heros" attempted to mass murder us on two occassions outside Windsor Park in the 1980's."Same old story, I guess." - Stewart McAfee, NI supporter.The above is a perfect example of three things inherent in the NI supporters who turn a blind eye to bigotry. 1) Whataboutery 2) Misrepresentation of the argument. 3) Viewing northern nationalists as scumbags. Apparently the people I wish NI supporters to 'appease' (what kind of term is that?) are Republican thugs. I have advocated the NI team be inclusive towards nationalists. Mr McAfee confuses nationalists with Republican vandals. A pity.
now im all for free speech but come on to call people names like that shows there's a lot of hate in this man is nt that right united irelander

"now im all for free speech but come on to call people names like that shows there's a lot of hate in this man is nt that right united irelander"
Who did I call names? Are you not thinking of yourself after all you called me a bigot. That's the biggest joke because if anyone is a bigot here, it's you. I was disgusted to read your anti-Catholic views earlier. You really are a Paisleyite aren't you? You'd have to be to write about Catholicism:
"yet they claimed that peter was the first pope which was a lie
the supremacy of the roman faith was due to forgeries and political manouvering but still worship no false idols and many take saints and ask them for stuff saints are false idols created by a church that says the pope is god rep on earth"
Your hate is showing william. Be a good lad and do a better job of hiding it, won't you?
i ve no hate i think all religion is wrong it took free will from us and you will find the term bigot in the dictionary and you''ll find its narrow minded like you are towards northern ireland

"you will find the term bigot in the dictionary and you''ll find its narrow minded like you are towards northern ireland"
LOL. Me narrow-minded towards the North? When I'm the guy who wants to see the division of Ireland ended and Irishness and Britishness respected in a united Irish state?
That doesn't sound narrow-minded to me.
If you want to see someone narrow-minded towards the North, have a look at your hero Ian Paisley who for years criticised Catholics and who deeply opposes uniting Ireland in friendship and harmony, north and south.
ians not my hereo but he does speak for a lot of people from the north he's not against catholics as you say he's against the roman catholic docterine.as for you not being biggoted to the north your last couple posts on the northern ireland football team seem to say it all a couple of your quotes to remind you

or how about this
confused my contempt for sectarianism within the IFA as being linked in some way to a contempt for NI itself. This was not the case as the IFA and sport are a different issue in my eyes. With that said however, I do have contempt for the NI State and for this edition of Top Ten Tuesday I will highlight the ten things that bother me the most about NI.
1. Sectarianism - It is so sad that even in this day and age, the NI state is still synonymous with sectarianism. Sadly, there is still far too much bigotry in the region. Paisley, anyone?
2. The Orange Order - This organisation of xenophobes and bigots is perhaps the greatest contributor to the sectarianism in the North. It ought to be shut down for good.
3. Paramilitary influences - It is a real shame that private armies hold such significance in the North to this day. Hopefuly the IRA are on the way out of the equation and then the unionist paramilitaries will have no excuses for their continued existence.
4. Hostility to the Republic - The enmity towards the Republic highlights a failure on the part of unionists to understand nationalists on this island. The Republic has more of a right in the North's affairs than the foreign rule from London.
5. Lack of culture - The fact that the NI State has no significant cultural symbols or colours shows that the border has failed and that the idea of 'Northern Irishness' is just one big joke.
6. Racism - Racism has become a big problem in NI and we've heard reports of attacks on the Chinese community. It must be acknowledged that loyalists are the biggest instigators of this.
7. The anthem - The anthem used for the NI State is God Save The Queen. 'Nuff said.
8. The name - The words 'Northern Ireland' have become synonymous with British rule. I prefer the '6 counties', 'The North' or else 'Ireland's north'. Far better.
9. The 'flag' - What some people regard as being the flag for the NI state is actually a rather ugly and monstrous version of England's flag. It is NOT the flag of NI.
10. Direct Rule - It is a shame that many people in the North (unionists mostly) are content with being ruled from London. Local issues deserve to be dealt with by local politicians.
So there you have it. Feel free to comment on my choices or to offer your own.

william,
How does the fact that I oppose NI bigots make me a bigot?
And what did you find wrong with my list?
Are you a supporter of paramiltaries, racism, sectarianism etc?
its not the fact you oppose bigots it the fact that you label all the fans as bigots in your blogs as for the list just to demostrate how objective you are
Traditionally there has been very little immigration by non-whites to the Republic of Ireland due to its relative poverty, though in recent times growing prosperity in the country (see: Celtic Tiger) has attracted increasing numbers of immigrants, mainly from Africa, China, and Eastern Europe. Descendents of Irish people who emigrated in the past have also started moving to the country. Most immigrants have settled in Dublin and the other cities. Though these developments have been accepted or tolerated by most, there has been a rise in racist attitudes among some sections of society. Although most racism takes the form of verbal and other petty abuses.
Several issues relating to immigration have gained widespread publicity in recent years. After 1997 and prior to 2005 any baby born in the Republic was entitled to Irish citizenship due to stipulations in the Good Friday agreement. This led to many pregnant women from Africa and elsewhere travelling to Ireland to give birth and thus allowing their child to gain Irish citizenship, this became known as citizenship tourism. Following a referendum on the issue the policy was overturned. In 2005 Nigerian student Olukunle Elukanlo was deported after his asylum application failed, despite the fact that he had not yet completed his exams. Following an outcry by various activist groups at the descision he was allowed to return to complete his exams. The issue highlighted the growing numbers of failed asylum seekers been deported, and issue which is often controversial to some (despite that fact that very few failed applicants are indeed deported)
Many Irish people are very proud of being in the European Union, and some resent outsiders coming into their country. For example Italians are always welcomed, but New Zealanders centainly aren't. Polish people are now welcomed openly since they have recently joined the European Union. There are several anti-racism groups active in the Republic, as well as those seeking tighter immigration laws such as the Immigration Control Platform.
are all irish this racist or is it just a few
