Princess Anne for Croke Park

[Zapatista]

If this was the worst that could happen then I'd be OK with it. In fact I am OK with it. I think I will spend my energy lobbying those who can (but decide not to) make the right changes regarding the unjust occupation. I know my priority's are all messed up.

Hopefully she'll be forced fed one of the special Croke Park 'hotdogs' that will make her puke her ring.

We cant have our cake and eat it lads. We sold our principles, took the cash, and now we have to live with the consequences.

A very fair point I would have t say

[lynchbhoy]

cant see the prob with this folks

its not as if the royal family create the policies for the british gov to adhere to.

I very much doubt if the poor hoor would really even want to be there.
would you fancy watching a game you didnt like, plus one played by two crap teams?

Me neither.

Sure Princess Anne is a real Rugby fan. She's the patron of the SRFU. She loves Rugby.

Maybe because the ball looks like her head, but she's always at the Scots' games, especially in Murrayfield.

this real is a step too far . taking one up the arse for political correctness . I was one of those who saw the opening of Croker a a massive wrong and still do. what would Mick hogan think of the one of the queens piglets warming her arse in a stand named in his honor while still claiming to own a 1/4 of the country.
If the bitch wants to come send her down to the hill 16 with the jackeens who have her great grandmother such a welcome back in the day
another great reason to hate the IRFU and their team of private school shirtlifters

I'm sure the Bull Hayes will be amused to hear he is a private school shirtlifter

He'd think rosnarun is talking shite as that's not where the word Jackeen comes from .And isn't great we aren't blowing the shit out of each other in a stalemated war

[rosnarun]

British AND IRISH Lions, is the official title.

What's the difference between Anne and the rest of them that have been invited / entertained and treated like royalty / VIPS ?

When us peasants go, we can encounter some cpig ignorant stewards who I'm sure will either not be on duty that day or will have been advised to brush up on their manners.

[liihb]

Honestly, if this is such a big issue, maybe some of ye should stick on the oul celtic tracksuit, and head down to protest.....

Personally I couldn't give a sh!t

She'll be the only one who claims a Divine right to own the country .
British and Irish lions me hole no more than the 'triple crown' the whole venture has no Validity at all unless you consider all 4 teams to be part of the same country/kingdom . what other logic is ther for it other than historic as in pre independance days
anyway it a title ignored by every one outside the 26 counties.

Dont get me wrong im an absoute pacifist but if some one robs your house you dont invite them in to ride your wife as well

I have oft times seen Annie the horse (daughter of Lizzie the hoor) singing "Flower of Scotland" so she is welcome as a foreign visitor to the Irish capital where the team she represents will be playing against men representing the nation of Ireland from Ballycastle to Bantry Bay etc.  Just so long as she doesn't get up herself, she'll be right.

Would love to be in Croker singing Amhrain na BhFiann along with Flower of Scotland, two of the best national anthems about.  We sang Flower of Scotland at a Scot's  friend's wedding in Japan.  Very powerful stuff.

Its threads like this that remind me that some northern catholics are truly mad. No idea whether they've been driven to it or been brainwashed into it, but there's no doubt half of them are head cases.
