Irish X Man

Today's Christmas gem... FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK (Caitriona, Eibhlín and Orlaith McAteer and Dearbhla Laverty)

@JamieBrysonLLB @IrishFA @NorthernIreland Have you ever thought what your wee cub will have to live with growing up with such a complete bigotted bastard for a father? Maybe you should wise the fuck up and get a life. What will you do if your wee boy decides to marry a catholic girl and play gaelic games? God love him.

The @irishfa @NorthernIreland head of Comms, or whoever is responsible for their outrageous social media output, should no longer be in position. From their GAA alliance on Casement to a multitude of other issues, the IFA has lost all touch with the core ethos & identity of the longstanding fanbase. There needs to be fundamental structural and personnel change. Some staff members of the IFA may find themselves having allegiance to Celtic, or even (as is the case with some senior management) the Republic of Ireland, and that’s fine as their personal view, but it’s another matter when they then start to seek to impose those views- which are contrary to the identity & ethos of the majority of the core fanbase- via IFA output.

@JamieBrysonLLB Mr. Donnelly to you. You cretin.

Orangemen walking for 3 minutes up the Crumlin road, opposed by Donnelly ferociously. Where do you even begin with this?

@JudahEx @_InfoGram_

What a pathetic pair of irrelevant, collapsing European failures. Two dying countries drowning in illegal migrants and crime, yet still finding time to stab the only civilized nation in the Middle East in the back. Courageous? No. Just two weak, spineless cowards licking Islamist ass. Disgraceful.

BREAKING: This is MASSIVE 🔥 🇪🇸 Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, calls for EU sanctions against Israel. 🇮🇹 Italy, under Meloni calls for EU sanctions against Israel. What a courageous leadership Spain and Italy has got 🔥🫡

@TUVonline @JamieBrysonLLB Cunt.

⛔️‼️ 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛: ‘It’s time the Irish Government was held accountable for being an active participant in aiding and abetting IRA murder in Northern Ireland’ #TUV #TimothyGaston

Penalty to Celtic. Obviously. The officials deliver for their team, again. Why is anyone surprised? Not even the world watching can shame the cheaters.

Their fans are savages. Reviled the world over. Pure scum, but what action will the SFA take against their club? None of course.

Just finished a full day in the High Court, out to check the phone- how has John Beaton not been suspended from refereeing & an investigation commenced yet?

You rarely see clickbait this straight-up dishonest from a supposedly serious broadcaster. Mary Lou McDonald is asked by the presenter if she's worried or anxious about Northern Ireland and she says "no, I wouldn't go that far".

@AmandaFBelfast @PCeee63 What wombat.

What's all this? I mean, I'm unlikely to get the exclusive tbh.

@AZ_Brittney @MAGACult2 Cunt

Describe Kash Patel in one word.

@RichieHayes2 @MartinMurphy72 They can force either of them on me. Please....

The fact that the Irish establishment would force one of these women on you while denying you the right to vote for the other (or not) should tell you everything you need to know about the Irish establishment.

@BstardDe @mooreholmes24 What a stupid cunt you are. You should go close yourself in a dark room and never come out. Your head is up your hole.

The wearing of GAA tops is less about a deliberate strategy to provoke or unsettle Unionists, although more would intend that than many would care to admit, and more about how central the GAA is within the cultural fabric of Republicanism. There is no denying the institution is an impressive one. Spreading right across the whole island and beyond. A genuine grassroots sporting body providing so many people, both young and old, the opportunity for camaraderie, community and competition. As great as all those things are, and they truly are great, none of it takes away from the GAA’s obvious and unavoidable controversial nature. Whether members realise or not, and many of them don’t, the GAA is inherently political - both historically and contemporarily. It’s in its DNA. It’s in its constitution. It’s all over the mechanics and paraphernalia of the institution. It’s downright ignorant and simply dishonest to pretend otherwise. Until GAA leadership and ambassadors tackle the ongoing glorification of terrorism within its institution, and surgically remove the political dimension within its own governance, it will never be viewed as truly inclusive - and why would it? If it continues to look the other way to sectarianism, allows clubs and cups to honour IRA killers, and advocate for political objectives, it will always be controversial, viewed with hostility by many, and never achieve the cross-community support that other sports enjoy. It has so much to learn from rugby and football, but instead, it brands them as “imported” or “foreign” games. The question really is; how much do those within the GAA leadership really care about that? It’s obvious that they don’t. In fact, they know their organisation is political, and view that as part of the GAA’s core identity. They don’t want to be like the FA, or even the Ulster Branch of the IRFU, which are genuine cross-community institutions. Setting all that aside, @JamieBrysonLLB recent remarks are valid. He is right in what he says. Unionists should be confident in who they are, but not by simply reacting to others. The British in Northern Ireland are equally proud of their culture, their colours, their institutions, and should have no hesitancy in expressing their identity with confidence and authenticity - without shame or restraint. Our post-conflict society had viewed cultural labels and single community symbols as controversial and sensitive. It went as far as perpetuating the idea that it would be considered offensive or inappropriate to wear or show such symbols. It’s fair to say that Nationalism, mainly a younger generation, has entirely discarded that mindset. And so they should. They are being unashamedly them - and fair play to them for it. Bryson’s point is more about encouraging Unionists to follow suit. Not reacting in petulance or provocation, but by being unashamedly themselves, with equal veracity. Be who you are. Wear whatever the hell you want. Do not hide your identity. Do not worry about “offence.” Proudly, and unashamedly, express that which is dear to you, and don’t do it just to poke someone else in the eye, but because it’s fundamentally part of who you are, and in turn, it will empower others to do the same. It will help cultivate and reinforce the confident, positive and proud community that is unashamedly British within Northern Ireland. No Surrender🇬🇧🇬🇧

@SuzyJourno @DaveIphone215

Jamie Bryson is calling on unionist students at QUB & UU to “join the culture war against nationalism” & robustly promote their politics on campus. He’s urged them to attend lectures wearing Orange Order t-shirts & parade around the universities in sashes. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…

@News_Letter @JamieBrysonLLB What a load of complete shite.

John, quick geography check North Belfast is in Northern Ireland last time I looked 🤔 No worries though… while you’re backing a foreign national team, Northern Ireland are off playing Italy tonight. Anyway, come on Northern Ireland 💚 #GAWA #DareToDream

@matthew_shanks1 @irish_news Fuck off you wee bigot.

Wouldn’t be like the @irish_news to only give one view from a very biased individual!

@News_Letter @JamieBrysonLLB He's another elitest bigot.

Reform present an opportunity for unionism to undo the damage inflicted by the Union-subjugating Protocol Framework (which the surrendering the Union deal did not remedy, but made worse). The border must go back where it belongs; between NI & Republic of Ireland.
