Twatface doesn't have the ability to not look smug it seems! I think he was born like that.

Some of the Irish players have said before that they are not too bothered about the Queen.They dont see any reason why they should be throwing themselves at her feet.

They touched and exchanged smiles :eek:

A British monarch touched an Irish Catholic* and no one burst into flames....it's the end of the world I tells ye

(ROG may or may not be a Catholic, but it is a lot more enjoyable to believe that he is)

O'Gara is a complete wanker for showing Zero respect.

Perhaps if she was a democratically elected head of state he would have had more respect...;)

She was wearing a glove which is the reason that both of them didn't instantaneously combust

He did get married in a Catholic Church...

Apparently the queen is quite a nice old woman. When someone came up to her on the street and said 'Jesus, you look just like the queen!' she replied 'How reassuring.'

Quality pic

There's nothing uncivilized about his actions, it's not like he shat in his palm and threw it at her while loudly dencouncing the royal family. He simply put his hands in his pockets while talking to her.

I have a whole new respect for the man now, despite my anti-rugby attitude. Anybody who doesn't pander to these false ideals of granduer and class should be commended.

Civilised people and nations elect their heads of state..not some medievil hang up about kings and queens. It doesnt say much for your own IQ or self esteem that you see yourself as a subject...:rolleyes:

Can't be too careful these days with the swine flu and all

Seriously though, the gloves were off when she was shaking hands with McAleese at least.

Ah, thanks for that BattlingCheese, it just goes to show how a pic on the front page of a so called 'quality newspaper' can send out the wrong (deliberate or not)? message. I retract my previous statement about ROG.

Well, what with this talk of a non-existent "irish republic" followed now by a lecture on what "civilised" people allegedly do, is it safe to assume you are British?

Quite.

No, quiet. Just becuase a poster isn't anti-British doesn't mean he/she's not Irish. At all. At all.

'Ra heads aren't the authority on who's Irish or not becuase that would be silly. And silliness shouldn't be tolerated nowadays.

IIMII · 08-05-2009 02:14PM

She's some skanger shaking hands wearing gloves - what's next, a tracksuit? :rolleyes:

KevIRL · 08-05-2009 02:16PM

Its pretty obvious from the reaction of O Driscoll and Heaslip that the O Gara thing is some sort of dare/bet that the team had going. They've been doing this sort of thing for the last while, remember O Driscoll's press conference there a while back

Yeah, I get the impression she'd be a bit of a laugh, with that typical dry British wit.

getz wrote: »

Very doubtful Irish newspapers (meaning one: The Irish Times) think it looks bad, more that it looks funny. And as for what other newspapers may say? We should give a ****... why? I'd say the likelihood is other newspapers won't care... or even acknowledge/know about it.

remember he wasent in the irish republic when he was meeting the head of state-if anybody was meeting the irish president you would expect them to follow protocol and act as expected-thats what civilized people do

Bit of a narrow view of what "civilised" means, no?

I doubt they were out to smear O'Gara, their photographer just happened to be on the ball and snap a really funny moment.

The fact that the poster does not know the correct description of this state, the Republic of Ireland, but instead uses a very common British misnomer "Irish Republic" indicates that they are British. I await his/her views on a 26-county 'Eire' and the "British Isles". The lecture on "civilised" behaviour just reaffirms this view of his/her origins. Not to mention feigning "concern" at the Queen of England being offended by something. All quite Little Englander for me. Quite.
