So you think that the Royal Mail secretly hate England and that's why they don't want flags then?

Obviously not sure if they are true but if people read that kind of thing then its like why would they bother?

Those stories are always lies told to push a victim agenda but you might be right, people will believe obvious lies if it suits what they want to believe is true.

Ain't nobody going to get arrested or stopped for having the England flag on display unless it's a Health or Safety issue.

The Royal Mail example is a weak one. It's a place of work and it's employees are using company owned vans and vehicles. Not many companies allow for it's employees to display agendas of any kind on company time.

so you can make a joke about an Iceland flag, but I can't do the same

I would fully expect any non nationals living in Ireland to support the Irish team if they were playing, not sure why it's any different for Irish people living elsewhere

i love the england squad now, it reminds me of our team PSV, also just youth and the never giving up mentality, keep on dominating till the last minute


Gareth Southgate, the british Phillip Cocu

The Royal Mail is not a weak example, it is a company that exists because of public support and custom.

I wasn't making a joke about the Iceland flag, I'm genuinely supporting them

Also, regarding the second part of your post, what the hell are you on about, you've completely lost me now

and I am genuinely supporting England but you made out I was pretending to be English or you seemed to think I shouldn't diss the Irish team even though they deserved it for not qualifying imo

I never said you shouldn't support England actually, I only pointed out you were also Irish when you tried to mock me because Ireland didn't qualify

nyway that doesn't explain why you were acting like you weren't Irish by mocking the fact that Ireland weren't in the WC? :suspect:

I didn't realise Ireland not qualifying was above joking about

[parmnion]

Its a funny old game....

I like the english team for the way they play football..i would be a hypocrite if i didnt enjoy them playing when you watch them week in week out on the telly..go on england, 16/1....you can do it.


Now all the red top "flies round ****" headlines had to be dumped at the last minute..

Ireland were at their best when they were full of Englishmen.

Geordie Jack Charlton as manager, Scouser John Aldridge, Preston lad Mark Lawrenson, Cockney Tony Cascarino and many others.

Everyone loves a plucky immigrant story about leaving a war-torn homeland behind in order to find an Englishman to impregnate them and improve their gene pool.

It isn't, you're really not getting what I'm trying to say, I'm not sure if you're doing that on purpose or not? Like, I said I was supporting Iceland and then you went on to mock the fact the Ireland hadn't qualified and tell me I'm not Icelandic whilst basically being in the exact same position as me ie an Irish person supporting England? So why is it ok for you to support a different country to Ireland but it's not for me?

Driving home from work last night was a nightmare. Arseholes running around on the main roads with their England flags, pissing in the street, jumping on moving cars and throwing bottles all over the place... And apparently this is "bringing the nation together".

actually I was impregnated by another plucky immigrant

and as for Ireland, its all very well, but the country was drained of its finest brains in the 80s

I never said you couldn't I just said it was pants that Ireland didn't qualify and its no matter how much you like Iceland you won't get the same buzz as if Ireland won a game, that is my take on it

I could of course ask why you overlooked your nearest neighbours to take yourself to Iceland

That's so not how your posts came across though...it was more like gloating which would make little sense in the circumstances

Iceland are also our neighbours and I love their team spirit and fans Iceland are the Ireland of Scandinavia

Cherie wasnt mocking ireland not being there...all she said was supporting england or iceland isnt as good as having ireland there to support...

iceland have a tiny population and have done incredibly well to qualify for the euros and now the world cup. I am fully behind them and hope they enjoy themselves

Thanks for repeating exactly what Cherie said parmnion, do you want me to repost my replies or can you scroll back along yourself?
