Why do you think irishblue responded by calling him a hun? Its a derogatory term for Irish people.

But 'Paddy' isn't a religious insult, let alone just an insult

Hun isn't a religious insult either, well not in Ireland anyway. It means all English people regardless of religion. I think you'll find that is why he used the term in response to being called paddy. Not because he is a celtic season ticket holder and a sectarian.

Since when was paddy racist? My housemate is irish and everyone calls him paddy.

Don't be such a drama queen

I'm not being a drama queen at all. Just pointing out that if seosa is going to report him for calling you a hun then he should be reporting you for calling him paddy.

Hun is a derogatory slang term for English, paddy is a derogatory slang term for Irish. Same thing.

No it isn't - it's like calling a Welsh person Taffy, an Austrailian Aussie or American a Yank.

As I say, my catholic housemate would chin someone for calling him "Fenian" but tells people to call him Paddy.

Stop creating shite where there is no need.

EDIT: Why do you think Paddy is derogatory? If it as you are Irish and people that hate you call you it, then that maybe something to do with you, but don't tar everyone with the same brush, it is highly annoying.

Mate I'm not getting worked up about you calling him Paddy at all that's his own business, I'm just saying it the equivalent of him calling you a hun so why should he be reported and not you?

Look as far as I see it, and always have, Hun and Fenian are religious insults, comments like Paddy and Jock aren't, and thats why I didn't report SWP'S back's comments, simple as that

\then kindly leave me out of your point scoring against Seosa if you would.

Paddy ain't an insult - how could I insult Irishblue59 - he is a comedy genuis, look at all his posts. It is like having our very own village idiot.

 

[irishblue59]

If you think the term Paddy is ok i dare you to go over to ireland and call an irishman a paddy and see what happens.

Fair enough and I understand that those terms have religious connotations in Glasgow and Northern Ireland but I don't think that that was what irishblue meant by it and he simply said it in response to being called paddy.

Anyway we won today so need to be arguing about this shit

Could you one day teach me how to be hard on an internet forum.

It looks great fun.

ps - you are funny with your anti-English stance like on the Eng V Fra game (on an English based team forum) yet get your knickers in a twist over the term paddy.

But threaten me all you want hon (see what I did there using a homophone to your previous derogatory term), it is easy to do so behind your monitor. I shalln't rise to it.

I shall just laugh once again at Ireland being better than De Jong, brilliant.
