How many people have Irish blood/desent on this site?

I know how to put a shamrock on a pint of Guinness and was almost selected for Jack Charlton's 1994 World Cup squad on that alone.

Ar Bejesus! Me an Andy Townsend, we got green blood coursing through our veins t'be sure.

So you are as irish as john barnes and terry butcher were english?

Seeing as Ireland aren't in this world cup I may as well come clean, I'm as English as Greg Rusedski, Zola Budd and Herr Owen Hargreaves. At least I think I am.

BB2 is there any reason why you won't answer the questions above? I'd be interested in your opinion.

I think the bulk of the catholic Irish did support the acts of terrorism that took place on mainland Britain and against our troops during the troubles. By supporting that does not mean they gave money or killed anyone-I simply mean a general feeling of support. That basically meant that when they bombed this city in 1996 (?) myself or my family could have been killed. And some toothless halfwit back in Cork would have been laughing with his mates at the pub about it.

Same reason why I HATE the Islamonazis who also want me dead for the fact of where I am born. The same reason why some people accuse me (as you loosely tried to) as racist. Big difference.

Do you "HATE" British soldiers that shot children?

They were terrorists to me. Certainly spent a lot of their time terrorising my community.

We have no love for the IRA, for that matter.

Don't rise to him Jim. It's absolutely laughable to suggest that Irish Catholics are all avid republicans or ever where. There's been little appetite for physicaly force republicanism since the civil war. Anyone suggesting otherwise has no idea of Irish history really.
Ireland was and remains a deeply conservative country, any other nation would have had the bishops in the dock by now and the church would be completely destroyed due to the various reports on child abuse. It's conservatism is what marks it out not any large scale support for armed conflict.
