    I absolutely hate that the anthem gets played at the end of the night. Its embrassing in a niteclub when everyone is falling & puking all over the place. & then you get the thick f**kers who get hot & bothered if your not standing to attention. :rolleyes:

    There is group bullying of me taking place on this thread. Since when did good nationalists become a laughing stock?

    Pffft....just cos nobody agrees with you,it's hardly bullying, I assume by your username you are supporting a party who are supported by a minotity, surprised you are not used to it at this stage.

    As for the dead heroes, I wonder did they think future generations would be paying for ghost estates built on the bogs where they died? FF would have been better off worrying about the state of the nation. National anthem in Galway pubs, don't see the point.

    /Rant over, it was just too tempting not to!

    How is playing the national anthem to a load of drunk people being respectful?

    Connolly and Pearse didn't give their lives so that socialist could whinge and sit on their arse.

    Brilliant!

    I never stand for it.

    I don't believe in nationalism and I'm not going to stand for a song that celebrates standing around in a field waiting to shoot somebody.

    Not my cup of tea.

    I don't give a hoot about patriotism, I just happened to be born here. I don't salute any flag and I don't stand for a song. Unless it is a crackin choon which Amhrán Na Bhfiann is not.

    My Uncle says that when he was in college every pub in Galway played the national anthem at the end of the night. Back then people were respectful of our country and politicians. Now thanks to the liberal agenda of the Dublin media and the pinko lefties no one respects our dead heroes. In tough times where we all need to stick together and tighten our belts a little bit of nationalism would help.


    I welcome our Pinko Lefty Party overlords.

    This reeks of nationalism - not even using lies, just your own plain confusion to further some ignorant hatred of anything different...

    James Connolly (5 Hune 1868 - 12 May 1916) was an Irish socialist leader.
    He was born in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh, Scotland, to Irish immigrant parents.
    He left school for working life at the age of 11,
    but became one of the leading Marxist theorists of his day. link

    Connolly was a Republican. He fought with the IRA in 1916 which brought us independence.

    You might want to @ least read the wikipedia link I gave you, nevermind an actual history book on the topic...

    Here I'll save you the trouble of doing something that might grate against your obvious ideological bias;

    "His legacy in Ireland is mainly due to his contribution to the republican cause and his Marxism has been largely overlooked by mainstream histories (although his legacy as a socialist has been claimed by the Communist Party of Ireland, Connolly Youth Movement, éirígí, the IRSP, the Labour Party, Sinn Féin, the Socialist Party, the Socialist Workers Party, the Workers' Party, the Scottish Socialist Party and a variety of other left-wing and left-republican groups). However, despite claims to the contrary, Connolly's writings show him to be first and foremost a Marxist thinker."

    (find the source...).

    Please, please tell me this is some bad attempt at trolling.

    Because I really hate to think that there are some deluded people that think that problems would all disappear if we played the nation anthem at the end of a night in pubs and clubs.

    And repeatedly mentioning FF, Vintners and "your uncle" the bar owner, methinks he doth try too hard.

    Away with you, shoo shoo, troll.

    Lots of people were left wing back then but there is no need to have ideologies like taht anymore. We have lots of laws to look after employees today thanks to Fianna Fáil.

    Your arguement is invalid due to your troll-like support of people who have been proven to be fcuk-ups.

    Fianna Fail will replace the bookshelf in this video ;)

    Yep, like the law of being forced to pay an Airport Tax when you are forced to leave to country to get employment.

    OP, I completely agree.
    I wish all Irish people were dead.

    Listen, I've a plan. I don't want you to tell anyone about it though.

    It goes like this. We start a thread on boards.ie. Get everyone to agree that Ireland is really crap. We convince these lemmings that they suck balls, and tell them to move to other English speaking countries (Feck them other countries. They all speak foreign languages).
    Because of the lack of people, we will be able to buy the land at really low prices. Then we do something. I got bored at this point and stopped caring about your troll post.
    Would you like to lick someone's balls?

    Honestly thought (could be wrong though, and not embarrassed to admit that I may well be http://www.answers.com/topic/irish-republican-army) that the IRA were not formed till 1919...

    Unfortunately, for this country, there are many more lemmings like this bloke [NUIG_FiannaFail] who honestly believe that Bertie, Brian and the rest of the good ole boys done good...
