Do the Irish(in general) have an inferiority complex?

Ibrahimovic91

I believe so.

Also a very subservient relationship with the UK as well, just take a look at all the plastic brits in pubs all day on a Sunday with their English soccer jersey shouting at the tv with a pretend English accent.:rolleyes:

I think you have an inferiority complex . I pity you

Yeah look at them. How dare they like anything other than bogball. Traitors.

Ibrahimovic91

'Traitors'? We live in a country where nationalism is shoved down our throats, nationalism is an offshoot of insecurity. I hate GAA culture, however I support an actual Irish soccer team unlike those sheep.

prinz

I presume Celtic jerseys are included in this Scottish subserving gits. :rolleyes: I don't have an inferiority complex, but I have worn German club jerseys in a pub and cheered on German teams..... am I a plastic German now?

minidazzler

Actually the Irish have a Superiority complex. We are a people who think we are the best at everything.

Just listen to songs people believe like "You'll never beat the Irish" and others.

Do we? I don't think Irish people are as inheritantly patriotic as the Americans. I think we are very self depricating in many cases.

As for the inferiority complex, that is understandable. It's the same as NZ/Oz and Canada/US. It's living next door to stronger nations that makes many other nations produce some great talent, art and music. IMO.

If anything the Irish have a superiority complex. We think that our country is this amazing place when in reality it's almost a Third World nation.

The reason we copy so much from England is that they are a reasonably well developed society/culture.

Also, Irish soccer is terrible. People watch the English Premiership to see world class players, not a bunch of part-timers. It's the same reason more people watch the Premier Division rather than League 1 and 2 in England.

Ibrahimovic91

No they support English club teams, and Prinz you following German football shows you have an indipendant mind as the Bundesliga is not shoved down your throat and you don't consume it like a good little sheep.

A country that actually believes this wouldn't come up with a song like that, small minded insecurity however does.

Cookie_Monster

Well the Germans HAD a superiority complex and look what happened to them.
I think we're grand they way we are thanks

WeeBushy

I have a superiority complex, but that's just because I am better than anyone else.

I do love the irony though. The same gobsh*tes will spend Monday to Saturday telling you how much they hate the English. It's hilarious. I remember a perfect scene in irony being in a pub on Talbot Street one time with some over weight skin head local showing off his 'Ra tattoos, Except he had to lift the sleeves of his Arsenal shirt to do it.

Oh please. You are saying it is ok for an Irish person to follow German football but it's not ok for an Irish person to follow English football? Back under your bridge troll. Where did you get your username from? Ibrahimovic play in the Eircom League?

I don't think because the Irish have a similar culture to the British that we somehow have an inferiority complex.

brummytom

I'm English and I barely support an English football - a load of trumped up tossers kicked around a ball... wowwwww.


Tbph, we're all as **** as each other. We here have our heroes and our cnuts, so does Ireland.

i think a large proportion of irish society is quite conservative and in a way backward, you'll notice in Dublin is less like this. in a way rural ireland holds other parts of ireland back.

Theres a black family who live beside a friend of mine and the kid speaks with the filthiest Dublin accent I've ever heard, its heavier and more pronounced than normal.

I feel sorry for you, you will never know what it is like to be part of a football club. You support a brand, I support my local team. You can claim you are part of your club by refering to them as us or we, but you are kidding yourself.

Most Manchester United fans have never been in Manchester, yet refer to United as us or we. Sad.

Meanwhile, my local club progressed to the next round of the Europa league. You will never experience anything like that supporting your brand, for that I genuinely pity you.

I do. I follow English and Italian football too, I just cannot understand why "football fans" snub their local football team. If you think it is poor quality, attend the Rovers and Bohs game on Sunday. You may be pleasently surprised.;)

Fairplay, it is the bar stoolers I have an issue with. You know the type. Up the RA Monday to Friday, but at the weekends it is a different story. All talk of "us", "we" and "them" when speaking about a club they have never seen live. Chances are they have never been in the city.

EvilMonkey

So what some people support their local team, others prefer to watch English, Scottish, Spanish... teams. Just because you support your local team doesn't make you better than anyone else.
What if your local team is a GAA team? Can you still support a football team?
LOI fans put people off attending not the quality of football.

You know the way kids who were abused as children usually grow up to have terrible self esteem (as well as other emotional scarring)?
Well imagine that, but instead of Daddy coming into your room every night it was the King of England, and your childhood lasted 700 years.

You understand now?
