How can we restore national pride?

hoorsmelt

We are royally screwed as a nation, and have lost our pride and dignity. Everyone knows that the best way to restore them is to win a war, so should Ireland declare war on Iceland or someone like that to restore our dignity and standing on the world stage? Imagine the boost to tourism there'd be from Enda Kenny taking the salute of the victorious soldiers as they parade through Reykjavik after conquering Iceland.

National Socialism.

If only to scare the Germans.

Play brinkmanship with fascism. Give us what we want, or we vote blueshirt.... wait a minute.

If all the Irish women lied and said all Irish men has massive penises then we might be able to get the eastern European women back and it would boost tourism too.

Scottish team win Champions League to restore national pride? Might restore some revenue to a few sh!thole pubs full of skangers but will do nothing for Ireland!

War with Iceland is definitely the way to go. We could mount an operation to replace our 'r' with their 'c'. The IMF will send the bills to the wrong country then.

Iceland would probably beat us in a war, we have no real air units worth mentioning, no proper tanks, we have about 12,000 ground troops with no way of transport unless we book a flight with ryan air. It wouldnt end well.

We have a large fishing fleet that could be commandeered by the Navy, and the government jet for aerial insertions.

Iceland would kick our arses back into the middle of last week.

Well we'll obviously be starting the war with Iceland while hiding behind Britain. We just have to get our story straight first. Remember 'they started it'.

The Irish would be to hungover on a monday morning to be able to fight so surprise invasion and attack by Iceland means future generations would end up speaking Icelandic or Norwegian .

lmao.. what a site to link to in order to get the point across that some undesirables support Celtic for reasons other than the football they play.

Tagline of the site - "The famines over, why don't you go home???"

Quite a fail I must say.

If we conquered Iceland before they got involved, they'd be powerless to do anything as our Navy would control the North Atlantic shipping lanes from our new Icelandic bases. The US lost alot of men and shipping during the Battle of the Atlantic and would not take the risk of engaging our surface fleet for fear of heavy casualties.

Mr. Denton

Qualify for Euro 2012 and then win it (which I have a sneaky feeling, crazy as it sounds, is going to happen).

Who are you kidding? Celtic jerseys are like knacker uniforms. They all have one. while some might not be regular folk, the general demographic of people that wear them are the kind of people you cross the road to avoid. And as for a fail... surely suggesting a Scottish team winning a soccer championship to restore national pride of Ireland is a bigger fail!

You must be joking? a single US Fighter plane would destroy our entire navy, we dont have the ability to shoot them down!

I take back everything I said...you, sir ,are correct.In fact I suggest calling up all McDonalds staff/Celtic supoorters and make them wear their away gear as uniforms.Your plan is watertight.Them feckin, Icelanders wont know what hit them...Feck them and their 800 years of oppression and eatin, all our potatoes.

I'm pretty sure Stovelid was being satirical/sarcastic by saying that. And yes, lots of scummers wear Celtic jerseys. They also wear Liverpool and United jerseys though. It doesn't automatically mean that anyone who supports those teams or wears the jerseys are scumbags. Although it does suggest that they lack style or individuality.. like anyone who proudly wears the strip of a sports team they support.

I think we should sell the island to the USA. We could rename it "Hawaii East"

This would bring many benefits for both sides.

For Us:
Cheaper Petrol
Wider variety of goods & services
Dump Euro, adopt Dollar
Increased tourism (no passport required, no need to change currency).
Military bases which will bring employment
More US companies coming to Ireland
Walmart
Better National Anthem & flag
More movies made here
Better taxes
Taco Bell
Zip Codes
& importantly - Peanut Butter M&Ms

For them:
Another state
Gateway to Europe
Gateway to Middle East
Better chocolate
A cultural history

I think it's a win-win.

We have some AA guns left over from WW2, we can mount them on our ships and that will take care of the USAF.

with the us debt's of $14trillion (yes 14TRILLION) and rising , with default only weeks away , it would be far from a win win for us

It's just a sports top worn by many ordinary everyday folk in their leisure time which has being adopted by many scummers ( who wouldn't know offside from their arse ) as their badge of honour but the guy who goes abroad on holiday and wears his Liverpool ,Man Utd ,Celtic etc top every day for the whole week or two is definitely lacking in style .

Nah, not at all. What's the worst that can happen? The entire world (with notable exceptions) is so far in debt, that all you can do is laugh about it. We're all going to default at some time & we'll be back to bartering & the sun will still set & rise.
