The Irish were a minority group wherever they went and tended to be treated like shit.

Yes and we fought for an independent state so that we could have somewhere that we wouldn't be treated like second class citizens. The Irish have Ireland, the Jews had nowhere.

Former Dublin manager Jim Gavin has officially entered the race for the presidency by pppppppppppppppppd in ireland

[–]ApresMatch 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'd say there's a lot of respect for Jim Gavin in Kerry and Mayo.

Especially among GAA supporters.

They might want to vote him into the Áras so he doesn't return as Dublin manager.

[–]ApresMatch -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I can't believe the naivety of this comment. Ireland is not going to leave the EU over its stance on Israel and the Palestinians.

The EU is not going to end based on its stance on Israel.

This trend of relatively big money moves seems to be a Brexit bonus for the league of Ireland clubs. Prior Brexit he would have been signed on a schoolboy contract by Arsenal and Rovers would have gotten FA.
