Why should they? they Know i'm right, most Irish people fucking LOVE seeing England get fucked up... they love the way we act about it all they fucking LOVE it it makes them feel superior.
And maybe it should, certainly many England fans are indeed cunts. MANY MANY are not however.
For too long so many England fans have happily supported the Irish Scots and Welsh.... why because they are our neighbours, workmates, friends, partners etc and the players play for our teams etc....
Just to get some fella laughing in your face when your team gets fucked at the world cup.
So Blatter is a cunt.... fuck me i never knew that....footbal aint fair, NO you are kidding me... never knew that.... I aint being patronising for a wind up or a laugh i'm just pointing out the blatant double standard.
Ryan probably regrets the thread being started because he knows deep down in his heart that you have to deserve your place at the WC.

Another laughable post by Molby.
All were saying is that's it's wrong that rules get changed midway. Surely you can't disagree with that ?
It's like when the Manchester Derby went to 3-3 the ref decided instead of actually playing what time was left he'd introduce the "next goal wins" rule.

We called Blatter a cunt for trying to change rules 3/4 ways into qualifying and it turns into a farcical English Vs Irish debate that we've done to death.

Thats a touch unfair. You guys have given out about England and its fans often enought to expect some of us to have a laugh at your expense nnow.
Unfair by Fifa? yeah but what do you expect from them?
Funny for some of us? Yep, about as funny as people will find it when England get knocked out in a penatly shoot out to the Ivory coast or whoever!

But "at our expense" in this case is nothing to do with football matches or even fan behaviour...
This Ireland - England thing is a vicious cycle... Most of us do NOT dislike England or the English people. And, when we look for you lot to lose (which, secretly, many of us don't want to see until deep into the tournament), it's not from a "we hate you" perspective, it's from a "we can have a giggle at a neighbour's" expense one.
Problem is, there's always enough knob'eds on BOTH sides that such bollocks is spouted, that before too long, even the most rational of us feel our national pride start to prickle and have to fight the desire to jump in.
I'd much rather talk about Liverpool, to be honest.
