    It does say 'Visitors Welcome' above the door though, never bothered testing it myself...

    Also OP you'd well believe there are bigoted NI people if you spent any amount of time there.

    You get this neverending circle of youths trying to outpopate each other, ever the younger. Über skanks; here in Ireland borne out of paranoia and territorial dispute - cheers Britain. Put manners on us alright, you garbage it's a war that'll sadly never end til Britain is banished

    As for scotish and english football. In terms of the UK, they are the mainland.

    What really surprises me though is, keith hasn't posted yet.

    :D

    Kieth is no more he was permabanned. I'd say he is hanging around our wee country and youtube spouting unmoderated bile.

    Our wee country (OWC) is infamous for the "views" expressed by many of its members. It is a cold house for anyone of a Nationalist bent.

    The reason you have to be a member to view the posts is that previously when the threads were open, the views expressed therein were often quoted elsewhere on the net, which caused severe embarrassment all round.

    How do you stop embarrassing yourself? Censure the more extreme views maybe?

    Nah, simply keep those views in house!! Problem sorted!!

    Football for all, eh? ;)

    I see on of the threads on OWC is the road to Brazil.They won't be going to Brazil. So they are wasting their time discussing it.

    No need for that.

    Its my country and I wouldnt refer to any other country in such terms.You are looking for something which you will not receive from me.

    By the way,I consider myself as Norn Irish,British,Agnostic and Irish.Figure that one out,and when youve levelled enough hatred towards me let me know...Royal Mail first class mind,because Irish mail is bollocks.

    I wasn't familiar with it before this. I see a dated thread on a gaa forum talking about it and apparent plans to destroy the aviva during the nations cup. :pac:

    The image I now have in my head is not one which I would normally admit, but to hell with it.

    I'm thinking of seats being ripped up and thrown, terrified corporate guests from the glitterati of the Irish corporate fraud banking and construction industries being assisted in escaping down corridors away from the maelstrom, Gardai turning away and running in the face of never before encountered violence, the pitch being invaded and coated in industrial strength weedkiller leaving it drier and more parched than Bairbre de Brun's clitoris, the posts being discharged in the direction of the dressing room, Liam Brady struggling to escape over a fence, and all of a sudden flames starting to lick up the back wall of the stand.

    That's the sort of thing which will get me banned and probably arrested, but f**k it, it's a more satisfying thought than boycotting a second rate friendly tournament.

    Just some guys rambling but the sentiment, gosh.

    Even more chilling is this wasn't deleted nor was the user banned, the post is still viewable today.

    Northern Ireland isn't a Nation.

    Our little country down here has only the population of a small to mid size city....and is being bailed out by the EC/IMF/UK....after decades of massive EC/EEC subsidies ....so we can hardly say we are a great nation either, as we have made a b**ls of things since independence.

    N. Ireland may not be a nation, but at least it is part of a nation. A nation with its own currency. A nation with a proud history in defending the free world against Nazism, Communism etc etc. A nation which is one of the G7.

    Have to go to bed now. Tomorrow morning I'm taking a train journey here in the republic, and if I took the same train journey 100 years ago it would have been quicker. Ah, the progress of independence.

    The vast vast majority of people in Northern Ireland are good people, just like everywhere else.

    If a few idiots on the internet were the yardstick on which to judge an entire country then I'm afraid we in the 'free state' wouldn't be in much of a position to judge.

    yes, there are always the few who wish to spoi it for the rest....but i fear the situation is too deep rooted, and not enough are trying to change that.......

    I decided recently to sign up for a Northern Irish football forum. Why? Because I was interested to see what they were saying on the James McClean twitter stuff. I LIKE LURKING FORUMS OK, don't judge. :(

    The one I found from google was called "our wee country", all posts weren't viewable by default so I registered an account.
    During registration it asked me where I was from from a list of NI, ROI, England, Scotland or other. I picked ROI
    They asked me to wait for an administrator to approve my account, I waited a week and nothing. Eventually I couldn't log in, the administrator had apparently rejected and deleted my account.

    I made another using a northern Irish proxy and lied that I was from NI, this one was approved. And what I see there, my gosh the bitterness, bile and hatred would put even the After Hours hardcore to shame.

    Just some examples.

    -> They refer to the club "Derry City" as "Londonderry City". That isn't its name.

    -> In discussion of an article involving a poor lad getting beaten up in Derry for wearing a NI shirt their collective response to the article is complaining that the media didn't report this enough but report Loyalist led violence a lot. Strangely I didn't see any discussion of loyalist violence in 3 years worth of threads.

    -> In a thread advertising an RTE program on football the spend its duration ranting about how RTE supposedly is the broadcaster for the "free state" but continuously ignores the 6 counties. On the 5th and last page one guy asks "so did anyone watch it?", to which there was no reply.

    -> Language is seemingly a big thing, in a lengthy and non-political thread about the recent world cup bid a nationalist slips a reference to Ireland and NI as "both Irish countries" to which the thread was derailed with much disapprovement and political rebuttal to his utterance. The guy defended it as his beliefs, he was seemingly banned.

    -> The forum claims to welcome NI fans of any background yet it one of its forum categories for Scottish/English football is entitled "the mainland".

    -> Their description for the "other sport" forum is "Rugby, Cricket even GAA!". Why "even" GAA?

    -> They describe NI born players who play for the republic as "defecting". I guess the GFA never happened.

    -> On Darron Gibson closing his twitter account 2 hours after creating it, one of them admits to being responsible for deluging him with abuse. He is promptly congratulated by the rest of them.


    Sorry if I'm not explaining it well but for a sporting website the serious cynical and political tone was a real eye opener for me. They really do appear to attempt to see everything in a nationalist/loyalist light and everything, absolutely everything is about scoring points against one another with a real with/against attitude.
    I thought we'd moved past this kind of thing. :(

    What's the name of this forum?

    We made a balls of things did we?
    Is that why the standard of living is the same for folks here today as it was in 1920. :rolleyes:
    If you want to see countries that really ****ed up then how about Germany in the mid 20th century, or Russia throughout the whole of the 20th century, look what Britain drew on itself between 1914 and 1930, or how the US screwed up in 1929. You have a very narrow perspective.

    Lads, in fairness if you had spent any time on any of the soccer forums from Ireland ( the boards one, Dangerhere (now defunct) Dangerthere (the poor mans successor to DH) PLB, ) you'd have heard of OWC. And laughed.

    All this talk of trolling is silly. And probably against charter here.

    Just out of interest do Northern Ireland have their own Olympic team, or are they bundled in with team GB, because there passport says the united kingdom of Great britian and northern Ireland. So they are not technically in great Britain.

    I walked past it in early April. There were two tattooed, shaven headed fellows, so scuttered drunk that they could barely stand, trying to beat the crap out of each other on the pavement just outside the door and roaring what I supposed to be obscenities and a doorman trying with limited success to pull them apart.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
