Davey Devil · 02-10-2003 8:48pm

Why should we let them get away with calling us English Reserves. I personally think that's the greatest insult anybody can throw at our country and team.

English asshole's i really though people like him where killed many years ago........Then again he does come from the Isle of Wight its well known they like their own sisters over their

mcCarthy was born in waterford anyway.

eirebhoy · 02-10-2003 10:07pm

Yeah, i can't believe what he said. Fair play to that German lad though, he seems to know a lot about Irish soccer.

Davey Devil · 02-10-2003 10:18pm

Haha, that German guy is coming out with some real classics, "Martin Keown for example who has an Irish dad and was brought up as an Irishman although obviously he got his looks from his English mother".

Zaph · 02-10-2003 10:39pm

Any chance of getting yer man Heinz over to the boards? Good to see someone sticking up for us when there's none of our lads around.

cournioni · 02-10-2003 10:40pm

Don't forget to post about England trying to steal Ryan Giggs off Wales. Hargreaves is Canadian too. Sven is Swedish... I'm sure there is more.

smemon · 02-10-2003 10:49pm

cheers, got those points in. we'll make this guy eat his words yet!

mCcarthy was born in waterford and moved to barnsley as a baby. it said so in a book i read about him a couple of years back.

eirebhoy · 02-10-2003 11:34pm

I don't believe you, Mike65 picking up for that guy. How could you not get angry from hearing someone calling our national team the english reserves.

Sangre · 02-10-2003 11:40pm

Because they are, plain and simple.

As the last post on the linked thread say's, England may look good on paper but the Irish are better as a whole. The Irish team are all friends with each other but there is so much rivalry in football these day that the English team has portions who don't get along and there are so many new faces being added all the time which is going to effect their performance on the pitch. The Ireland team is more or less the same every game.

if you saw in the other thread here is the scores between the two countries from the last 30 years:

95 IRL 1-0 ENG friendly
91 ENG 1-1 IRL euro qual
90 IRL 1-1 ENG euro qual
90 IRL 1-1 ENG italia 90
88 IRL 1-0 ENG euro 88
80 ENG 2-0 IRL euro qual
78 IRL 1-1 ENG euro qual
76 ENG 1-1 IRL friendly

Sangre · 02-10-2003 11:59pm

Why is there rivalry in the English game and not ours?

Answer: There isn't, they all play in the PL, they all do the exact same thing.

This concept of friendliness and teamwork Irish people spout is a load of bolloxs probably thought up by the same people who conceived 'craic'.

Wishful thinking.

eirebhoy · 03-10-2003 12:06am

Well if you remember correctly the charity shield. Francis Jeffers(English) got sent off for purposely kicking one of the Neville's (English). They will probably be in the same English team one day which will effect the atmosphere in the training ground etc. That is the only incident that springs to mind but since the majority of the Premier League are English players I'm sure that there was more incidents like this.

The only time I can remember two Irish player puposely going at each other was Roy Keane and Jason McAteer and Keane was retired from international football at the time. I can't actually imagine to Irish internationals fighting on the pitch.

Pepe LeFrits · 03-10-2003 12:49am

We're all part of Jackies army...

jesus_thats_gre · 03-10-2003 2:20am

Its good to see that the Irish representatives on football forums are just as narrow minded as the English.. You think you could have reputed his point with facts, as oppossed to insults... Well done lads, clap clap.

which brings me nicely to my copy and paste from that forum

Actually some of chester is in wales.Infact a true fact here.Chester city have one goal in england and one in wales.
Sounds mad dunnit

thats kind of cool i think. England and Wales could play each other and both sets of fans could stay in their own countries

p.pete · 03-10-2003 9:38am

Owen was born in Chester (practically wales) and grew up in the Welsh village of Hawarden.

cournioni · 03-10-2003 9:41am

Giggs has english blood and played for england schoolboys.He chose to play for wales because of his father.

Thats a load of arse. Giggs was born in Cardiff.

Big Chief · 03-10-2003 9:42am

yes go slag off the english... then go back to supporting all your english teams

well played.

if you put only half the effort into actually supporting your own game over here ireland would be a better side.

you really think they hold a grudge over 1 game when they have to play alongside each other for country? have you actually played football atall EVER?

Big Chief · 03-10-2003 9:46am

as for this whole -

"my granny took a shìt in a glasgow toilet, am i eligible to play for scotland" stuff..

I hate it with a passion.

Neil Sullivan for example is english, and i dont want him playing for scotland. (an example, although i fully believe in what i say here..)

as for giggs, yeh i remember seeing videos of him playing in a under-18 (or maybe 16 cant remember exactly) england shirt.

The people on these boards were angry at our team being called the England reserves. it was a few English lads on the other boards who felt that they could give our national team such an insult without people replying to their posts. And also, I don't support an English team aswell as a lot of the people on these boards.

OMG I think you should be asking yourself the same question. The charity Shield was just one incindent I could think of but there are plenty more. There are so many players who go at each other every time they play, many of them two English players. People don't just go and make friends like you did in 1st class. For example, Roy Keane didn't want to pay for Ireland because McCarthy was the manager.

BTW the two Irish incidents I mentioned was Keane and McAteer and Keane and McCarthy, Keane is now retired. I don't think their are any two Irish internationals who would have a fight on the pitch but their are plenty of English who would.

Thats not quite true, remember the FA cup semi final a few years ago and Keane was sent off(not the arsenal one), i think it was against Crystal Palace or Aston Villa(cant remember which it was) but keane staqmped all over a player on the ground, well ray houghton was playing that day and after the incident the two of them tore into eachother and both were international team mates at the time.

Oh, I didn't know that but out of the players today I can't think of two Irish, exluding Roy Keane, who would purposely hurt each other on the pitch. I think Roy Keane is an exeption to everything;)

Ahh bugger, nobody took the bait on my troll.

Ummm... go ireland and such, and btw, I think those defending the Irish (except the German) are making us looky stupid.

Terry Butcher was born in Singapore

Let the guy have his little poll. I find myself losing interest in anyone who calls this country 'Eire' anyway so whatever he says about us after that really doesn't merit comment IMHO.

Big Ears · 05-10-2003 7:25pm

rep of ireland isnt in the uk or britain but it is in the british isles. So i suppose saying ireland is a home nation isnt that incorrect.
