begrudgery, self hating, cliquey/clannish/smallminded conservative types. So called banter, the craic whatever that is, the GAA, the fact that drinking seems to be the only thing to do. But if there was one thing that takes the proverbial biscuit its the smallmindedness. In addition the rampant anti intellectualism, short sightedness, insularity, I could go on and on. And I will, the music is ****, Irish people like crappy soft singer songwriter rubbish, its a continuation of the showband days and country music, Irish people like bland soft simple music, which is connected to their political apathy, theres no place for metal or progressive rock here because it would be too much for them to handle, the only good band to come out of Ireland was Thin Lizzy and most of them weren't even Irish. Irish people can't tolerate musical brilliance, like technical virtuosity, they just wanted simple ****. Also I don't like when certain Irish actors like Colm Meaney raise their voices up severa octaves when posed with a question and answer in a rhetorical tone or when politicians/guests on the vincent browne show answer in a salt of the earth fashion, this should be an intellectual discussion program, not some common sense backgarden farmers market show! There is no room for questions about football!!! I wish I was an Indian.

Cringe inducing creatures.

What's wrong with people supporting Celtic and wearing their jersey abroad?

What's wrong with people enjoying a song about Ireland's history?

God forbid people see the Irish being proud of their country abroad.

Irish people on holidays; we speak more Irish on holidays than we do in our own country, to single oursleves out as the craic-loving leprechauns from the Green Isle so people will like us when we're abroad...
The only problem is that we allll do this, thinking we're original, forgetting that hundreds of people have done it before us so the locals in Spain etc actually know what we're talking about, which is unfortunate seeing as most of the time we use Irish as a form of morse code, thinking nobody else understands... when I was in Greece a waiter was like "You're Irish??*launches into Irish-spiel*"

Also I hate to say this but as a nation we actually don't look after our appearance. Im sorry but people walking around in pyjamas or pyjama bottoms/tracksuits etc = *shudder* I am often aware of the fact that sometimes I manage to look out of place due to the fact many people look like they have just rolled out of bed... am I the only person who still brushes their hair instead of gathering it into a pile on top of my head??And Im not just addressing a certain *type* of person.... I hate the way everything baggy and saggy and casual has taken over, seriously hoodies with trackie bottoms and Uggs, just gah!! :mad::mad::mad:

And yes, Irish through and through, to be sure to be sure..... :rolleyes:

Do we? News to me. Oh and most people brush their hair. The slating of Irish people's appearance doesn't have to go so far as to resort to downright lies.
Absolutely nothing unreasonable with citizens of this country criticising aspects of it - that's the way it should be, but those who are clearly hanging their heads in shame about being Irish really should just fuk off...

up for anything

Also when someone quotes the "to be sure, to be sure" nonsense I want to get my gun.

Anyway got a link to a picture of normal Irish people in the city centre all ( or mostly) in pajamas? Any picture of Grafton street should do.

Well, to be sure, to be sure I would say life has already been cruel enough to him/her, Begorrah and Top O' the Marnin to ye. I hope the soft day out there is suitin' ye.

And what is it with the hatred of the GAA. I love watching Cricket, Rugby, and Hurling in that order ( Gaelic Football and Soccer I can take or leave). Clearly the only reason to hate a sport which is unique to Ireland is it's precisely it's uniqueness. It is a form of small-mindness in itself to hate the organisation, or the sport - unless you hate all sports - which at least is a bit more common.

Why don't we play croquet? Supposed to have been invented here.

nullzero

Complaining about "those bastards" in Leinster house(which you voted for) for the duration of their tenure in office and then voting them in again at the next election because your family has always voted for them.

CCCP

I am Irish and a citizen of the world
I love the Irish.
I dont like the Irish racists complaining about Other nationalities living here.
I dont like SCANGERS of which there are an ABUNDANCE in this country.
I HATE the CLUB AND BOOZE SCENE
I HATE the fact that there are so many psycho coke heads
I hate the fact that we have so many murderers and hard drug dealers in this country, round em up and shoot them.
I hate the fact that young children in my area say such words as C*NT which is just appaling paranting really..

Other countries have these problems too of course. Were very lucky to live in such a wonderful place despite the above comments.

I am really confused by the GAA hatred, it's bizarre. This thread is like car crash television, I know I should really stop watching but I can't...

the reason for the hatred is pretty simple. pure jealousy from supporters of other codes who can't fathom how people like football and hurling as opposed to their sport and how it takes away potential players of their code.
