'' Barstool Republicans''

Ish66

We all know a few, United Ireland, Still hate the Brits etc etc, Paste the following below to your phone and then ask the ''Brutal Question''...... Name the 6 Counties of Northern Ireland ?
Derry/Londonderry
Tyrone
Antrim
Down
Armagh
Fermanagh

I asked 6, The reactions were hilarious, Only 1 could name all 6, 3 could name 3 and 2 could name 2. 1 knew 1 ! ! They have never bothered me since. Best reaction is to ask them when they are surrounded by ''Mates'' ! !

we all have that friend who says they hate the English, has the wolftones playing and all that but still supports the likes of Man Utd etc and takes trips over to the bad lands for piss ups etc. Honest to god said friend thought Sligo was part of the North

Those type of people need to tone it down in some instances, its good to feel passionate about your country but this is real life and not a movie like Michael Collins or The Wind that shakes the barley etc.

Us in the south no nothing of the hardship people from the North suffer/suffered through the years (on both sides of the community). Id love to see this brave lads on the barstool go up to there and start mouthing off

Hey OP....where were you sitting on a barstool ??

Some accent up there, though.

“Barstool” seems to be used on this forum a lot to describe anyone who supports Irish unity, doesn’t have a strong farmer/D4 disdain for the poor or who doesn’t engage in cloying postcolonial cringe masked as political ‘maturity’.

To be honest OP your mates just sound like thick idiots who had adopted a costume, you get them in all aspects of life. They don’t represent or define everyone with a Republican analysis.

Facebook will sort you out OP. You'll find a suitable audience there. Loads of Shamrock / Red Hand GIFS and emojis too.

Not at all. It's the same as when "Armchair" gets used. The difference is in the setting. By using barstool, they are suggesting one spends time talking about or engaging in the subject, primarily at the pub around other people, instead of actually going forth and doing something.

It's mainly used by people who follow Irish football clubs, against those who follow football clubs from other regions. As it's generally watched in a pub and their level of support is considered trivial, due to less regular attendance at matches.

You just need to look at the number of people from the South who went up North and took up a gun during the Troubles. There were very few when you consider we had ca. 3.5 million people back then.

My Dad was an advocate of Irish unity, but he wanted a peaceful transition. He worked for a few years as a sales rep in NI at the height of the Troubles and he saw the worst of what went on. It left an impression on him.

I can remember a few times when refugee families stayed a couple of nights in our house in Dublin during the worst of it, while waiting to be rehoused here. He was prepared to do that, but he wouldn't get involved with anything else, even when asked.

The majority of people did very little. Shouted all sorts of 'Brits Out' shyte, but did feck all to help. Those people still exist, absolute PITA and I do my level best to avoid them.

By the way, I’m not saying these type of people don’t exist. I was active in the Republican Movement for years when I was in Ireland and I remember all manner of people who’d scream and shout about stuff but wouldn’t give you so much as a euro when you were selling the paper or collecting for prisoners.

My only point is that these people aren’t representatives of Republicanism as an ideology as a whole and that on this site, “barstool” gets thrown around all the time (usually by people who’d have absolute conniptions if you called them a ‘West Brit’)
