Is it time to just hand it back to Ireland?

Anyone that is of British allegiance can be resettled in Glasgow.

This would help with Brexit and let’s be honest, we need to move on from this tedious issue. On that I think we all agree.

So - give it back, or carry on dwelling on the past?

Doesn't bother me either way. But if I live there then I would probably fight for what I would to think to be right.

How fucking much???? You must be losing your marbles. 

Always wanted to do it so saved up over lockdown and figured we’d do it for a nothing game. Not a bad deal when you consider it includes Staropramen on draught. Marbles were lost long ago tbf.

It’s got fuck all to do with football. Absolutely nothing.

Its for people who want to look all edgy and anti-Irish. They’re still fighting a war that no longer exists, a bit like those Japanese pilots that still thought WWII was going on in the 1960’s.

Both sides as bad as each other. Pseudo-Irish cocks on one side; Empire-defenders on the other. All pissing in the same pot.

Fair enough

Nothing wrong with that.

Weird that so many choose these particular clubs though. There are many more to pick.

Nothing says "no surrender" more than a rangers top

Hard work trying explain to my 11 year old why some of my mates have tattoos with the Northern Ireland flag on them to support a team from Scotland.

And theres people in Ireland that support a team from Scotland then theres two sets of people from Northern Ireland that support two different teams in Scotland.

 

And the bulk of the support from one of the biggest teams in Scotland support Ireland. 

And supporters of the other main team in Scotland support Northern Ireland and a shit load support England.

And they all wear orange stuff to support a bloke from Holland.

Mentalists.

The only thing decent about rangers is lana wolf 

“Why do you support rangers even though you’re from a town in England 300 miles away?”

”Because I fucking hate Celtic”

”Wht do you hate Celtic?”

”because they’re Irish cunts. If they love Ireland so much why don’t they go and fucking live there?”

Sounds plausible when you put it like that.

Plus the football is utter guff.

terrible 

Both would be top 8 in first season and champions league spots year after 

Couple of my mates are "big" celtic fans. They talked a few of us into going up with them a few years back. A good day out on the piss, but jesus christ, the worst 90 minutes of 0-0 football I've ever had to endure. Terrible. Honestly the first time at a footy game I've had to be nudged as my eyes were closing. Shite. 

The local election results bringing the NI protocol to the forefront and soon a decision will have to be made, EU seemingly don’t want to be flexible, it’s  going to be an interesting period over the next few weeks & months.

The eu were flexible agreeing it with the Uk government in the first place 

it’s doing what it said on the tin , both parties agreed to and signed up to this . 
This fact seems to be ignored.

Correct. Bozo signed the agreement just to get a deal done but was secretly telling some NI MPs they were going to tear up the protocol later. 

But didn't the people of NI just vote 60-40 for parties which want stronger ties with the EU and reject the hard-line Brexit parties.

The facts are the NI protocol was never meant to be permanent, it seems to me that Irish nationalists are using it as a tool to break NI away from the UK and the EU are using the opportunity to divert business from GB companies to EU companies.

This clearly acts against the rules set out in the treaty and creates the opportunity for UK to trigger article 16.

Of course it’ll be our fault if we are forced to trigger article 16 with those wishing to reunite NI with Ireland and nothing to do with the EU showing a lack of flexibility and proportionality in line with the risk of imports entering the EU from NI.

Again. The majority of people in NI voted for parties who explicitly stated they were happy with the protocol. Surely that should be respected.

Some take that . 
It’s an international treaty signed and agreed by both parties. 
can’t be arsed going into the rest of your Irish nationalist angle but would suggest you look at which party is refusing to form power sharing and get the government up and running for the benefit of NI now and it’s not a nationalist one .
