Leinster fans in London - embarrasment

lima

So in a club in London last night, these lads with Leinster jerseys thought it would be a good idea to dance on the podiums with their jeans around their ankles.. everybody was disgusted.. it wasn't even a cheesy type club, it was in a good house music club.. not a tourist club. so embarrassing. I told them I am ashamed to be Irish after their act. The jock-bogger just laughed it off. No one else was laughing.

Why do people do this? and why did they have to have their Leinster jerseys on? I am ashamed to be Irish. People like this will make people around the world continue to think of Irish people as drunken idiots.

You're ashamed of your nationality because some random people who you don't know, and who just happen to share your country of birth, made an arse of themselves?! Jesus, you're easily embarassed!

Micky Dolenz

So you are ashamed to be Irish because of a few drunk lads?

I think you have more of a problem then them.

Good thing they weren't wearing Liverpool or United jerseys, so. The whole club would have been humiliated.

Or perhaps not.

We all stereotype! As soon as anyone not Irish hears an Irish accent they go all oirish!

So a group of lads celebrating a win dropped their trousers and danced in their cacks!!! Meh, nowt new in that!

If they happened to be British/French or any other nationality would you conclude that everyone else from the same country as them was a drunken idiot simply because of the actions of a few? I doubt you would somehow, and I doubt that any logically minded person would assume that the entire population of Ireland is portrayed by a few drunken fools on a night out.

This is the crux of the issue, not the actions of the people you speak of.

I don't know why the crotch grabbing game is so popular...

Was there any fanny on view?

Even cheesy clubs are wary of allowing folks in sports shirts in, and bouncers are on trouble like flies on sh1t, yet these guys got in AND you got to reprimand them before the bouncers got there?

I call shenannigans.

I'm just ashamed that Ireland has an interest in rugby.

I was in a pub last night with a English lads I know, one of them took out his dick and went for a piss on the floor. I'm glad I'm Irish and not English.

I have never felt more ashamed to be Irish than I did after reading this post.

Every nationality is stereotyped and the Irish will always be the drunken paddys. However this is the stereotype? not all Irish drink believe it or not and not all act the fool.
I am not embarrassed of my nationality because fellow Irish people let me down I am an individual and because I'm labelled Irish doesn't mean I act Irish. Those lads were idiots be it Irish or any other nationality but I understand the shame as people will automatically assume we all behave that way.

Recently I was on a train from London to Holyhead. There were a number of Man United and Spurs fans on the train, as well as a fair few Irish getting the ferry home.

Some of the English fans were drunk, agressive and started taking the piss out of a harmless old Irish guy who was wandering up and down the train looking for a place to sit down, shouting stuff like 'Paddy Murphy, are ya goin to Oirland are ya?'.

Was I disgusted at their behaviour? Yes

Would it make me think worse of my English friends? No

You can't attribute to many the actions of a small few.

What else do you expect from rugby fans??? :rolleyes:

You should never do something like that to your ma, even after a few pints.

I'm Irish and living in Leinster and I wouldn't recognise a Leinster jersey if it jumped up and bit me. I'd say you're safe enough that nobody knew you were Irish let alone what part you come from.

I've only even seen the 'pants dance' twice - once last night and another time on a snowboarding trip in France - a group of 50 or so from Cork and the lads were up on the bar grabbin' the crotch - didn't bother me back then though as they were munster fans

Maybe I should get involved, is this a new Irish craze?

I dunno, Irelands pretty good at GAA in fairness :pac:

OP provided the Irish fans didnt rip the fcuking stadium apart, throw bottles etc then its harmless and quickly forgotten.

You have to laugh at the complete double standarts on this board.
Me thinks if these gentlemen were kitted out in GAA jerseys over in London for a championship game ye would not be so forgiving.....

Yeah thanks for that informative point. It really helped the topic grow and added to the debate.


Actually while I have you. Why bother putting a full stop at the end of that ****e sentence (If you can call it that.) and not bother putting a capital letter at the start?

_blank_

they sound like a bunch of twats, like those imbecile boggers who end up in Bondai in their "county" jerseys, drunk and dancing on tables.

Horse riding isn't a sport. It's an excuse for gambling - nothing else.

Hit a nerve have I?

I clearly figured after being so lax with my grammar at the beginning of the sentence I better redeem myself and draw it to a proper conclusion. It also portrayed the abrupt laugh that your post produced well.

If I need to dissect this reply for you as well next, just let me know.
