USA vs UK Who wins?

but you implied duddy was british did you not?

stop mascerading behid stupid subtleties mate,you wouldnt have said anything otherwise,yes derry may technically be part of the UK, but nationality is a very important part of it as only a minority of those in derry consider themselves british.

 

No I implied exactly what I said. Someone posted that Duddy was Irish and therefore not from the UK. I replied that he was born in the UK. It is, as you say, possible to be both born in the UK and be Irish. Nobody had even mentioned 'British nationality' in the thread before you did, and the OP had a Mexican in his USA team. Now sit down and stop being a twat.

 

actually you said nothing to do with the thread,someone said john duddy is irish which means he isnt british,while you came back and said he's from londonderry which is in the UK,so you were basically implying him to be british.

i couldnt be bothered with this pointless squabble so sit down and shut the **** up.

 

Stupid Thread But mcintyre vs mayweather would be some funny ****

 

Uh, no someone said "Incidently John duddy is Irish which is not a part of the UK.." Nobody had mentioned anything about 'British nationality' at that point (or at all until you popped up) so it's fairly blindingly obvious that that was a reply to the OP, who had included Duddy in his 'UK' team.

Now, I could have been snarky and made some lame quip about how 'Irish' isn't actually part of anywhere, I could have included all that stuff about Northern Ireland and Irish nationality (though I would have tried to make it seem less like a spittle-flecked rant by including punctuation and stuff), but I instead just gave him a factual answer about where Duddy was born.

I'm impressed at the number of implications you're able to draw from a one line factual statement about where a person was born.

You didn't actually read the rest of the thread at all, did you?

 

The Irish are touchy about this stuff rightly

 

I'm sure there are political discussion boards where he's welcome to go and be as touchy as he likes....

 

actually i read the whole thread,as i posted way earlier on here would also emphasise this point.it actually is a point for here because his nationality is an important factor in his popuality in the states and a polarising issue here,i tried to end the squabble and you carried it on,now who's being the twat.

 

Yes but you're not allowed to have help from other countries in this scenario.

 

None of which were in anyway under discussion in this thread, where the only question was whether he was eligable for a theoretical 'UK' team.

You tried to end it by saying 'i couldnt be bothered with this pointless squabble so sit down and shut the **** up' and then replied to my reply? Yeah, well done with that.

 

simply because of the ignorance of your initial statement,i know,i know all you did was state a fact,but you know that this fact is a contentious issue that is bound to evoke some resentment.

 

UK p4p better than USA. Peurto Rico is still the p4p king and that doesnt look like changing, someone posted the population to world champion stats on here the other day, it was interesting reading.

The USA saved nobody in WW2, the cavalry turned up ridiculously late when europe had kicked the **** out of each other. And the Russian loss was greater than both the British and American combined but you dont see any films about that...


ps

**** thread.:good

 

So, in your opinion nobody can possibly state the factual geographical locality where John Duddy was born without it being considered a 'contentious statement'?

Sorry mate, but that says a great deal more about you than about me.

 

Good, films are ****. Read Antony Beevor's 'Stalingrad' :thumbsup

 

like talking to a ****ing brick wall,why would you make that statement when all the other guy implied was he is irish,which is coincidentally not UK without wanting to be contentious.you had an agenda behind your statement and that is perfectly clear.

on another note,stalingrad the film is an amazing piece of work,haven't read the book though.is the film based on the book?
