Only British peasants.;) They have to bow-we don't.

I'm hoping Philip will come out with some embarrising gaffe.He's overdue one.

DWCommuter

Get the girls a seat. Its not Hill 16!

Xivilai

Nice speech by GAA man, Queen looked a bit worried at the start.

rebel without a clue

Nicky Brennan wouldn't let go of her arm, which is a total no no

wouldn't let go after the Queen twice trying to shake him off - one of her bodyguards intervened after a minute or two.

Would they not have gotten her a seat for the speech??

Dunny

I think they wanted Phil to do a few solos with it.:D

Hyperbullet

Philip now's your chance to say something racist! You've a hurl in your hand!

Hannibal Smith

haahaa they gave him a hurl....every one gets a prize

TheMilkyPirate

Wouldn't even acknowldge his speech the ignorant sod.

iMax

They not gonna get her to raise the Sam ?

Monty Burnz

Prince Philip with the hurley! :pac:

Legend - I thought he was going to drill one for a sec..

theboss80

That's about the closest anybody from Ireland is gonna ever get to the British Queen with a hurley in hand

Cantona's Collars

Oh no, Philip has a hurl.:eek: "One can use one to beat darkies and slant eyes".
"No Philip-you can't say things like that anymore", "Wanna bet,I've the hurl"

iMax

Someone come up for the headline in the Sun tomorrow..

K-9

Surprisingly decent speech, nice reference to the son of one of the founders of the GAA.

Dunny

"You nearly had her there Nicky"

TaraFoxglove

I only found out a few weeks ago that Philip isn't British but Cypriot. I was like this - :eek:.

rebel without a clue

tis our field! tis our field!

Wolfe Tone

Apparently a load of GAA officials stayed away in protest?

Xivilai

Well I gotta say, the Queen has a boring enough life doing all these state visits. Good for her, being rich etc. :pac:

She deserves it for such a tedious job that gets pushed on her from a young age

Lol I could almost hear him saying "ehhhh so you hit the wogs with this end then?"

Biologic

Anyone else getting the feeling this whole visit is centered around rubbing our independence in her face? Trinity was an old protestant school we nicked back, croker has its stands named after lads killed by british troops, bringing her to cork where Mick Collins was from?
It just doesn't seem right. It'd be like them getting Enda over to London and showing him where they used to offload all the Irish grub during the famine.

sensibleken

was there any trouble or did dole day put a dent in it

The Princess Bride

My parents are years younger than Queenie and hubby ( and have sleep every afternoon)- surely the royals must be due a serious nap after all the nodding and hand shaking at Crokers?
Yawn, I need a nap just looking at the coverage.

I will consider the entire trip a failure if he doesn't.

Didn't really look that way, did it? She wouldn't have fitted in the building at all if a load more of them turned up.

The terms used were "group" and "several" - not "loads".

not to mention bringing her to bow to our "freedom fighters"...I wonder what the 200,000 Irish people who volunteered to fight for / with Britain would make of it all..

I thought the same. Although the Guinness trip broke it up. I'd hope the focus is more on things that makes Ireland what it is rather than just the past.

maxwell smart

I was listening to the Radio this morning and Myles Dungan was doing the coverage from the War Memorial Gardens. Halfway through the minutes silence he pipes in "we are in the middle of a minutes silence" !!!!:D

Classic Dungan!

OPENROAD

Do you reckon they have the radio on in the car when she is going from place to place, and if so radio 1 or Newstalk ?

sensibleken

Im bored. But its still the most interested Ive ever been in GAA

Read elsewhere that most of the reps from Ulster stayed away, only one from Down attended
