Irish Boxing

firstly free state is just another name for the south of ireland or R.O.I ...so get off ur high horse on that one... btw the people who call me fenian will call u it also...so thats like a black man insulting another black man because hes black... gerry adams compromised in the hillsborough agreement... in a means to an end... the long game.... the rifle had to be taken out of irish politics and he did it... he didnt advocate irish men getting down on their knees to recieve honours from a british queen... finally we will never know how many sportsman have turned down honours as that is something that is never made public...they approach the sportman first to see if he is interested ... if the sportman isnt interested it stops there with no one the wiser:good

 

But not if he picks yup some trinket for his acheivements?

Ive still no idea why you, personally, seem bent out of shape.
This doesnt affect you in ANY way.

Some guy you dont know received a trinket.

Paddy Barnes is a grown man and can make his own decisions.

If he and his family fall out over it, thats an issue for him and his family. Thats none of our business.

If you want to be bent out of shape by something that has no effect on your life whatsoever, by all means, do so.

 

its a forum...people are discussing as r uatsch...:good

 

as someone who has no experince of living in the north during these conflicts i have no idea how the people up there feel about these matters and nor do you STB. I think its best not to comment on matters such as these that you don't have any experience with as we don't have any idea what its like

show a bit more respect :good

 

Is Paddy Barnes not a grown man who can make his own decisions?

Is it any of our business what he does with his life?

Is it any of our business whether he and his family are having issues?

This is simple common sense, and doesnt matter one bit where I or anyone else grew up. I said nothing about politics.

Im saying Ive no idea why someone on this forum is actually upset that someone they dont know did something that has no effect on their life.

Thats what baffles me.

Also, Im not sure why you're no longer on my ignore list. I need to fix that.

 

:thumbsup.... politically myself and stb are poles apart.... but hes a good boxing fan...so he cant be all that badgood

 

fool atsch

 

because you have no idea what it is like to live up in northern ireland do you? thing become very polarized up there and you are going to experience hatred and bigotry . You have no idea what that is like for people up the north or how it effects there outlook on society or how the view the sporting hero's of there community, do you?

thats why i suggest you keep you opinions to yourself as your uninformed and are might come across as insulting and condescending to Fra

iv plenty of friends from the north and they hold very different views about thing but i'd never really attempt to argue with them about matters like this as compared to them i obviously don't have a clue

because you can't get enough of me:good

 

No high horse here Fra, just reality.
"Free State is not " just another name" for the South, Fra. It is an out of date pejorative term used by out of date people. The " Fenians" existed over 109 years ago..ditto for that term.
"Re****" and 'spastic"etc were used to describe people with special needs. Ni??er for black people etc etc etc
My point is we ALL need to move on.
You need to permit Paddy to market himself to the bigger UK audience.


You talk about Gerry playing the "long game"...as indeed he is. Now allow Paddy to do the same in his life.

 

in fra's defense , i know lads from castlewellen and they also call us lads form down south free staters and don't mean anything negative by it what so ever

so your wrong there len

 

See Fra.
People using these terms are friends of the General!!
Flat earth society, Neanderthal knuckled riggers no doubt.
Happy New Year by the way.
I rest my case!

 

jesus, i don't think i'm going to sink to your level, wouldn't use insults like that

proven right here tbh you find free stater an offensive term but find no fault in using language like that, tut tut

 

I type this brill, absolutely brill, post about BOXING....and all ye can do is waffle about politics and economics. Disgraceful. I demand some feedback. Get typing ye vermin.

 

its not offensive if i say u live in the free state...but if i call u a free state cnut...now that is offensive:yep:good

 

yea hes a complicated individual is our len:good
