Irish presenters on UK tv based in Britain who use "we" when referring to something British, they sell their soul for the Kings Shilling, at least Unionists have personal convictions, those prats are just hoaring themselves.

Yea and Kieran McGeeney saying we in Kildare or Micko saying we in Wicklow.

Munster, Leinster & Ulstermen so    In Connacht its just a way of beefing up players like David Brady.

Any Irish person who supports English soccer clubs should consider themselves a West Brit.

Personally, anyone who uses the term "Freestater". A nasty partitionist slur imo. To be fair though I usually only hear it from the lowlife drunken "fans" at GAA matches and seems to be used only by a very small minority.
Not too impressed either with the wealthier Catholics "distancing "themselves from their pasts by sending their kids to Rugby schools in Belfast.

Oh and the "Dublin 4 accent" (for want of a better term) is not automatically a West Brit/Castle Catholic  indicator

Surely the sending of kids to rugby schools by rich parents is more prevalent among the English/American wanabees in South Dublin and the aforementioned D4 brigade [than in Belfast]

Nah, thats the easy way out. The west British culture in Ireland sickens me. The soccer club theory isn't a proper analysis of the situation IMO. Sure what about people who follow American football, am I an "east yank" then. Bollox to that.

The west British culture is quite worrying though. Goes far beyond sport. It's the type of person who watches the English question time on BBC1 and loves everything British..traditions and political ethos and doesn't give 2 shites about Northern Ireland. These people actually think Irish people and British people are similar, bollox...chalk and cheese,you'd know this if you had ever spent any time over there, majority of British are decent people it has to be said in fairness, we have that in common alright.

I'd class these lads as west Brits.

Agreed, it indicates a far greater problem.

You mention Northern Ireland. Is the term West Brit not strictly aimed at "free staters"?

[ballinaman]

Yep it is Tony, I'm talking about people from the Republic of Ireland who couldn't give 2 shites about Northern Ireland. To clarify what I mean there, they don't class Northern Ireland as part of Ireland, NI doesn't concern them. It's a quite a paradox that they are so interested in British/English current affairs and traditions at the same time though.
