Norries in Chelsea tops

[KolaKubes]

Particularly around the Blackpool area.

Mind, many seem to be the "new" norries but, still, it grates.

This not a pot at you Shammy, fair enough if you're following your boyhood club.

But for Irish (even "new" Irish) to be following a club that traditionally was one of the most rabidly anti-Irish in England is fucking daft.

[Roman Abramovich]

wait till they wearing this wannnn
and yes its the official shirt....

"Football" is not about religion or politics Kola.

Now be a dear and post up the link to Linfield and Rangers.

Your efforts at wummery are poor

It shouldn't be, no. Unfortunately it often is and to stick your head in the sand on the topic seems a little simplistic

thanks for that Dr Phil

Don't mention it, I'm always only too happy to point it out when you're talking muck

A lot of Africans have understandably more of an allegiance with Chelsea and Arsenal, as there are more Africans on those teams

I don't get this Sunderland bandwagon at all though

We all like to see a Corkman doing well, but "Gaffer 16"

Oh dear

I don't believe I'm hearing this.

Why did you start following manYoo again?

You are obviously bored at whatever job you do and looking for a confrontation

How dare you get personal and bring my job into it. How focking dare you. Small time.


But for the record why did you start following ManYOO?

Ah, yes, Drogba and Essien would be factors alright I guess.

Mind, I'm not talking about those "new" norries, saw a few oriental and indian types as well. Lots of indigenous ones too though.

This is disturbing me (further), I thought Cork would be immune to this sort of thing.

Dubs, fair enough but Cork. Disgusting.

Asia is a European construct. That's actually worse than "Oriental" ! :D

Sure, for the Chinese, the West starts at India and Pakistan.

Oh dear

whatchamean oh dear???

Keano's success is a big fuck off to all those high paid half assed cunts that dominate the game.

It shows his methodology as being honest and cements him as a beacon of hope for this ever downward- spiralling game that we love

"if youre gonna get paid 30 grand a week, the least you can do is track back" ---> legend--> deserved of bandwagon

I realise this

I'm a huge fan of Keane

i don't have to wear a Sunderland shirt to prove it though

I find that a little embrassing

You can appreciate a player without having to follow the team he is involved with
I hope they well and all that but.....

He will probably be gone from them in a few years anyway

Thats fair enough but I think Stevie's point was more along the lines of 'Where the fuck have all these new Cork based Makim fans come from?' It just shows how fickle people can be in their support for teams. My ol man is calling Sunderland 'us' aswell.......Unbelie vable. They'll be back in the Championship soon enough and the furore will die down. I am a big admirer of Keane and his principles but I cannot stand the bandwagon mentality in Ireland.

[Lamps]

Sure, for the Chinese, the West starts at India and Pakistan.

In future I suggest you refrain from using terms such as "Oriental types"

As far as I'm aware Asian is the correct inoffensive term. I think even the gangsta rappa's have conformed. Stevie you look into this for us like a good lad.

I'll leave you do the rest of the research KKK.



Is 'America' a European contruct too?

I don't have to do research on this old bean, I was reading about it not the other day.

"Asians" don't see themselves as a group. Only Europeans do. File under "them there to the East". Like I say, the Chinese always view the West as starting at Pakistan and India.

I would presume they would rather be referred to as Koreans, Chinese, Mongolians, Mandarins, Tibetans etc but whining about my use of "Oriental" rather than "Asian" is just silly.

You bleeding heart liberal you.

About 4,000 posts defending the guy, and all for this!!!!!!

[Lamps]

I hope Stevie was complaing as much when the same idiots had Keane 16 ManYoo jerseys.

But i digress, there is a difference between kids starting out following a team and bandwagoners. Lets remember that. For the sake of everyone

If they weren't Man United fans before that it was bandwagonism, pure and simple

Have to pull you up on this Lamps. That is a weak arguement fella. Utd are obviously a hugely supported club in Ireland,so having a replica top on with a local boy's name (who's also team captain) is nothing unusual. The fact that there are now fellas wearing the top of a team who hail from the North east of England, with little or no history of having Irish support is a completely differnt kettle of fish. Young lads picking a team to support may choose Sunderland now because of all the hype, but I guarantee you when it all goes tits up, they'll be back to supporting Utd, Liverpool, Celtic etc.

[Forsberg]

This thread has got awfully blurry all of a sudden.

Quick...you'd better tell Noel O'Flynn...he will sort it out...rendition flights out of the Glen Field are being scheduled as we speak.....

Yerra, I suppose a lot of them are City fans or primarily GAAheads or whatever. Then it's no different to wearing a Milan or Barcelona top.

Are the people of Europe not clased as Europeans in certain circumstances?

I see where you are coming from but i just thought i'd point this out to a man of your considerable intellectual might.


“In the United States, Ireland and Australasia (Australia and East
Asia), since approximately 1990 "Asian" has been considered a more
politically correct term for "Oriental", which previously referred to
people from China, Japan, and Korea and other East Asian countries.
This is partially due to the fact that the term "Orientalism" in
academia has become associated with the European colonial attitude
toward the Ottoman East.”

Do you refer to black people as coloured?

[KolaKubes]

Quick...you'd better tell Noel O'Flynn...he will sort it out...rendition flights out of the Glen Field are being scheduled as we speak.....


Bit late for that.

Mind, huge improvement for the place, badly needed a bit of colour if you'll excuse the pun.

missing the point lad.

its about bandwagoning, it doesn't matter if its United or Sundireland.

Ever heard of Charlie Hurley?

See, I have a very simple attitude to this.

First, I refuse to be colourblind or pretend like differences in nationality or race don't exist.

Second, I like the fact that Cork has all sorts mixing around now. Big improvement.

If you want to get hung up on my use of the term "Oriental" work away.

Odd that its on half a million fucking takeaway signs though.

Maybe they just prefer "Asian" because it has no 'r' in it.

There something that little bit disturbing about you at times Kola.
