West Belfast, definitely!No Chelsea have a lot of following in Ireland.
East , surely?West Belfast, definitely!
That is a massive over-estimate; the two most Irish London clubs are Arsenal and QPR.
Culchies refer to Dubliners as Jackeens. cos we waved the Union Jack when Queen Victoria visited town.Tallaght is an offensive term to culchies.
cillian Murphy..........a PaddyNo offence was meant, mate. My father is a paddy, which makes me a ‘genuine plastic paddy’!
Maybe you would understand why it's offensive if you had gone to a south London school with an Irish accent in the 80s like I did. That was a terrible experience and I gradually lost the accent. So now when I open my mouth and a south London accent comes out but I say I'm Irish every gobsh1te feels entitled to say the same thing.... "so you're a plastic Paddy then"'Plastic paddy' offensive..fcuk me heard all it now..stay at home mate
identity is very fluid these days. Would you consider a Micky Murphy from Boston to be Irish ? Or all the John Leydon/Shane McGowans who speak with an English accent. There are lots of the latter living in Ireland.Maybe you would understand why it's offensive if you had gone to a south London school with an Irish accent in the 80s like I did.

I have Irish ancestry but I consider myself English and I am not interested in paddy's day. I have friends who are plastic paddy's for 364 days of the year they are English and then 1 day....whatever the lineage of your resident Irish person, there was a general distrust of the English, which kind of bonded them. For some, it was a hatred of the English, while others it was a simmering indifference.
There's a lot of Irish in the world, who have spent very little time (if any) in the Emerald Isle, and they wax lyrical about their yearning for 'home'
Well, for those Palace going to the game in Dublin, you might well find yourselves exposed to a city in a bit of turmoil. Immigration has totally changed some areas and there are many residents who don't recognise their own city, from as little as 10 years ago
Just be a bit careful in Dublin

It really isn't that complicated; ethnicity and nationality are not the same thing. Anglo-Irish is an ethnic label; born in Ireland but of English stock... that is not me and I doubt it's you either.identity is very fluid these days. Would you consider a Micky Murphy from Boston to be Irish ? Or all the John Leydon/Shane McGowans who speak with an English accent. There are lots of the latter living in Ireland.
The term 'plastic Paddy' i never found offensive, but other people can reserve the right to be offended if they wish.
If you restricted irish identity to only those who could speak Irish-Gaelic, you would probably only have 5% of the nation.
Got the accent ? N.I. .... its impossible to tell if a Nordie is British or Irish just from the accent. And all the Alaistair Mc Alaistairs get p1.ssed Off when you call them irish.
I would class both yourself and myself as Anglo-Irish......except that such a term is reserved for an Eton/Harrow landowning gent. Its all a big mess. Some of the most hardcore IRA supporting types have an English accent, and some Paddy O'Flaherty types from Kerry are basically Unionists.
Plastic Paddy never bothered me. But the most embarrassing one is when travelling abroad ( especially France) and the locals smile " ah , you are Irish, i hate the English too "

Sean Hughes reported getting a hard time at school in Ireland for his English accent.I had enough p1ss take and aggravation at school for being Irish and now as an adult I'm not going to accept some smart-4rse calling me "plastic"...
I was born in Dublin. However I grew up in england. I now live between the two countries. Have both the accents. No idea what that makes me? Some sort of hybrid?
Aviva ,is the biggest soccer stadium in Ireland, the biggest stadium is croke park ...a" G.A.A "...Gaelic football association....seats 83,000....but soccer not played there ..unless very unusual events ....and reasons that would virtually be life changingSo, Aviva is the biggest?
Funny , I was born in Mayday Hospital in Croydon . Went to school in West Croydon , Both my parent are from Tipperary, When im in England everyone calls me Paddy and when im in Ireland everyone calls me a plastic Paddy , I never lost my Croydon accent. All i know is Palace till i die . No offence taken here . at least im not a plastic United or Liverpool fan .No offence was meant, mate. My father is a paddy, which makes me a ‘genuine plastic paddy’!
