Replying To zinny:  "Is it just me but I have never spoken to one English person who would say they have anything in common with Unionists in NI. To be ashamed of something, you have to understand what they have done and to that extent there are very few and far between who understand what colonialism was. The English Government, Establishment and Media have forever had a one sided view of England's place in the world, which as a result if you are English and really want to know the truth you have to work very hard to find it.
My joy in seeing anyone but England win in soccer is not borne out of any dislike for the vast majority of English people (there are some I would have zero time for) or the belief that they are responsible for what happened in the past but rather the way that they on the baiting on the English media become so arrogant and superior when it comes to soccer and any glimmer of success."

Replying To Seanfan:  "What percentage of Nationalists in the North would be prepared to pay extra taxes in a United Ireland??"

Replying To Saynothing:  "Why, do you pay more taxes than me or anyone else in the North? In a United Ireland everyone would pay their share."

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Genuine question Saynothing.
No antagonism intended,but if/when we do achieve a United Ireland,what with our different histories,will you and other northern catholics see yourselves as one with us free staters or will there still be an element of separation,as there is in the GAA for example where Ulster teams will generally root for one another in big games."

Replying To Saynothing:  "If I was born in Connacht I would be fully behind the other Connacht teams, so you see , it's simple really."

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Not really, most Galway people I know want kerry to win tbh,as im sure most Cork people will want Mayo to win.

Although i would personally like to see Mayo end their wait."
