The original photo is indistinguishable from the photo-shopped ones here.

No. They need room to park their wheelchairs.

I don't the original joke, btw. Is it something to do with his jersey? I don't follow football, so I have no idea what his jersey means.

It's a soccer jersey. He is protesting at foreign games being played at Croke Park. He is oblivious to the fact that soccer didn't originate in Ireland and is regarded as a foreign game too.

Absolute classic.

The sad part of it all is that the protester considers a Celtic jersey to be Irish. It might have Irish links, but ultimately, it is Scottish.

Whiskey man and OP, you both deserve awards.:)

I saw a few Sinn Feiners dragging some placards after them on Parnell St as they made their way home yesterday. Pretty sad-looking geezers tbh.

On a completely different topic: do we have spelling bees over here?
IMO, they, like child beauty pageants, should be banned. Down with that sort of thing!
