Are You "Anyone But England"?

[krtek a houby]

Frankly, the phrase "Tiocfaidh ar la" has been around a lot longer than republicanism.
It's the same as "our day will come"

And it fits a lot more than a narrow IRA aspiration.

Of course. It just feels a bit odd laughing at a bunch of lads on a night out who obviously don't speak gaelic. That's just my intepretation of it. As I said, I don't have a problem with the actual saying.

Now, if they were a bunch of dickheads annoying other Irish people on their night out, I might be less bothered

They were probably singing "it's coming home " before all this.


And you know the Irish love to piss take

Indeed. To this day, I still wonder if Jedward was a very clever (if incredibly annoying) piss take.

Sorry to say they're as you see them.

If they didn't see the funny side of it afterwards, there's something wrong with them.

This. It's not like they were hurt is it?

I think it's quite funny tbh.

Finally, it seems like Paolo and the dragon have yapped themselves hoarse!

It’s all gone quiet over there!

I think they've realised they're on a hiding to nothing, and are trying to sneak away without anyone noticing.
I wonder if a mod will be along shortly to close the thread down, because an unnamed person (who may or may not be vegan) complained of bullying.

Has an unnamed person complained of bullying?

I have an appointment with a solicitor tomorrow, to change my name to aloysius anyone-but-england

Yeh in an incognito pm

Tbf, the thread does have a wee whiff of honey trap about it. I think it's achieved whatever it set out to do. Don't think it's about football, mind.

I think it had the desired effect... Whatever that was

I have no idea but isn't that what normally happens when someone is getting their arse handed to them, they cry 'bullying' and try to get the thread closed down?

It'll be great when the World Cup is over so this thread can die of natural causes.

It kinda died of natural causes once the ABE wankers realised they were beaten.

How strange it does not appear in nationalist or republican rhetoric until c.1980

Irish republican fandom insisted that it be retconned as canon - like when they added Harley Quinn to the Batman/Joker mythos.

Been reading the irishman recently, Richard piggott's newspaper, and flag of ireland, in the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s. Haven't seen a sign of our day will come or similar

Well, pix, no one could accuse you of lacking a sense of humour.

Sure if it's not written down it never happened.
