The Most Embarassed Moment You have Ever Felt to be Irish

Was in a pub in Portugal a few years ago when a few tables up some guys started singing rebel songs, wouldn’t been so bad but the pub was made up of mainly English people and it wasn’t that sort of place anyway. Have the place got up and left.

That reads like a Sunday World headline - "The drunken Irish in sing song abroad SHOCKER"

I hope your joking he is a symbol of how stupid some irish people are!!!No other country in the world would ever have an idiot like that in national parliament. And i include America in that!!:D

Ming is far from stupid. I've heard him do plenty of interviews and he always comes across well.

The last interview I heard was on Today FM a few weeks back, he made the presenter sound stupid - not something a stupid person would do.

As for your point about America, I'd wager there are have been far bigger idiots in the White House compared to Ming, never mind the Congress. At least Ming admitted that he inhaled.

The states have former actors and wrestlers in their "national parliment", same for state governers and they re-elected, RE-elected! George Bush.

as a celtic fan i can honestly say the chanting comes from both sides and mainly bigots with no interest in the game.

Of course there's idiots on both sides. True, a portion of the Celtic fans sing Republican songs, songs that may be considered offensive, they dont sing sectarian ones though.

My point really tho relates to how a person who would not consider themselves sectarian or bigoted could reconcile that with being in the midst of a crowd singing such bile

When john delaney suggested 'ireland be team 33 at the world cup'!
I was as pissed off as the rest as im a HUGE football fan, but at the same time you have to know when your beat, so to speak!
This was just a bury your head in the sand moment, as fat sepp blatter had a great laugh at it during his press conference.
Thank you john, thanks very much!

He was before my time, but yes hes another reason to be embarrassed of being from Mayo. I wish I had transferred my vote to Galway, its a waste of time voting in this county.

Ah Galway, home of Frank "Twenty houses" Fahy
Don't be ashamed of your area, every area elects some dodgy characters

You should be ashamed of your footballers though :pac:
