Baz the lost Muslim.

my Jewish mate calls him the Archbollox McQuaid
He has a real hang up with the guy. Gets so agitated if you mention the man.
I have to laugh.
Believes he turned boatloads of kids back to Germany during the war.

Can't see him ever getting on a euro coin myself.

Is this a p!ss take or what? Surely if there was a need to change the €1 coin someone else would be more deserving?

Who would you put on the coin?

Cowen just as a reminder to think twice before spending it.

Just be grateful the queen's not on it

I know it's probably not a serious request, but if it was it probably would be thrown out straight away. Commemorative coins can only be €2 coins, I think €1 need to remain the same (unless they have a monarch on them).

Nobody outside of Ireland knows who she is except the literal 50 to 60 women in the world who compete in her weightclass. None of them could sell out an arena either.

they never put the Great O'Donnell and the great O'Neill on their euro coins for the 400th anniversary of the flight of the earls, I refused to visit south since then

And rightly so, no place for animals in modern Ireland

I would put different faces of Irish heros on the coins, we are boring compared to other countries. All we have is the harp across the board. Each coin should be different

He gets a bad press and he instilled fear in politicians and the general populace but at least ireland back then was a safer than it is today and that was broadly down to the firm hand by which John Charles held the Irish community.
They were simplier times, but happier times.

They were in their hole. Nostagia and ignorance don't make up for systematic abuse and cover up. The elimination of Church involvement in state affairs will be the turning point. Schools are next. Can't wait.

Would never have worked.

I mean, the average completely brain dead 21 year old who loves beards, tattoos, fighting and Bobby Sands would love it.

But someone with half a brain would eventually have pointed out that a racist shouldn't be on our currency.

And his rantings about entering favelas and killing and enslaving was racism at its purist, based on the subjugation of Latin Americans by the white man. Not that his fans spotted it...but they are MMA fans I guess...
