Tis fierce funny.

yea ok. on yer bike.

DSB · 30-06-2008 1:54am

I agree with you in what you've just said but theres seriously no need to make a thread just to rile people up, with no real points in it.

Xavi6 · 30-06-2008 1:55am

I beat an English lad in the final of my Fantasy League head to head and I loved it!

OP, get over it.

Drag00n79 · 30-06-2008 1:59am

Examples? Apart from the use of the word 'mate' which I'm not too keen on myself.

conceited · 30-06-2008 2:04am

It seems to stem from the way you lads structure your sentences,it's quite interesting to say the least.

ShoulderChip · 30-06-2008 2:05am

u referring to football cliche language?

it's called typing in legible English. so often i'm tempted to type out the normal slang i'd speak with but it looks horrible on screen.

Oh ok, maybe I don't agree with you after all.

Fizman · 30-06-2008 2:22am

I was not aware that there was a common/established difference in how Irish and English people "structure" their sentences?! Maybe the OP would like to elaborate a bit more?

Or would the OP expect to see more here along the lines of "Is maith liom Torres agus ta se go an-mhaith!"

invincibleirish · 30-06-2008 2:25am

OP is a troll who is implying we're West Brits, im more Irish then you are OP, fact!

Right I think it's time -

Pepe LeFrits · 30-06-2008 9:12am

I think he probably means stuff like 'Have it', 'Get in there son', 'Well in lad', 'You're having a laugh' etc.

--amadeus-- · 30-06-2008 9:47am

Since this was specifically posted in the Soccer forum I can only assume that the OP is talking about posters who refer to "us" or "we" when talking about English football clubs.

Which I think shows a fairly limited understanding of sports - pretty much all followers of all teams in all codes and al loations will refer to "us" when talking about the team; it refers to the bigger "family" of the club rather than the people born in a certain location.

And I would have thought that, as a country, we had outgrown that whole "west brit" chip on shoulder b*llix a long time ago.

Mr Alan · 30-06-2008 9:58am

has the OP ever actually made a contribution to any of the threads around here or is this a first thead?

They speak differently when they get into those shirts too.

gogglebok · 30-06-2008 2:44pm

OP is right. I found my normal peaty brogue disappearing gradually throughout the tournament. By the time of the final, I was gargling jellied eels and snapping my braces like an over-enthusiastic Eastenders extra. I made some tapes for my speech therapist, of course. A brief transcript from last night shows how far my condition has deteriorated.

"Aw, poor Lahm. E's only gone and made off with the family Silva. The ref'll give im a right Ballacking. Oo's that funny-lookin' Guiza? I tell you, Frings ain't wot e used to be."

Please help me, OP. What can I do to get my oul blas back?

Earlier I tried to make a Beatles top ten with Euro 2008 players, but I couldn't see beyond Get Bak and Ujfalusi in the Sky with Diamonds.

Anyone else having a slow day at work?

i dont know about you lads, but anytime i watch english football i get this incredible urge to drink 24 cans of phish weak lager have a row with my best mate smash up the local kebab shop the go home and kick my wifes teeth down her neck .........does that make me english.on a serious note i dont know why people get the hump when irish people support english clubs, if your a kid and your dad supports an english team whats a kid to do start calling his dad a turncoat.dont fink so me oul china. im off ta watch the cricket lmao.

Mr. Incognito · 11-07-2008 5:53pm

I think what the OP might be implying is that if you wandering on here not knowing it was an irish forum and heard people talking passionately about "my team" you'd be forgiven for thinking some posters grew up on a council estate in manchester as opposed to a three bed semi in Kildare and started to support Man Utd because Roy Keane played for them back in the day.

I enjoy soccer as a spectator sport but never really got the idea of adopting a team- sure they're all foreign to me. I just go to GAA games instead but to each their own.

Dues Bellator · 11-07-2008 6:02pm

to each there own exactly. my son plays gaa and still loves watching the premiership some people posting here would say that makes him less of a ga player they feel that strongly about it , its crazy , if it was a ufc post or a tobbagan league in the timbuk 2 there wouldnt be half the stick flying around , the sad thing is its because its an english league and were irish, anyone with a problem watching english football needs to come out of the dark ages and start setting a good example to there kids.

Ever notice irish people come off as english by the way they write in this forum?
