Just finished watching the World Cup match between England and The USA. For the game I wore a USA top my wife had sported during the last tournament. Even got her to photograph me, brandy in hand. The image could go up on the internet solely for the sake of annoying those irrelevant Lefties who I presume were standing outside the US Consulate in Belfast with placards proclaiming ‘Afghanistan for the World Cup.’


The result was a surprise as I didn’t really expect England to get anything out of the game. A draw wasn’t a bad outcome for them, more in fact than the sorry bunch deserved. They were flattered by it. A disjointed lot who seemed to think midfield was a region in the Australian outback, they left us watching the local park spectacle – boot the ball high and far and hope it finds the head of the big lad up front. How that lot could ever feign to compete with the likes of Messi suggests something of the delusional, probably the residue from a colonial past, when they actually could strut the world stage rather than stumble across it. They are a hee haw team of donkeys, more suited for fair grounds than football stadia. A few weeks back a friend told me he felt England would lift the trophy. I asked him if he felt Ireland would be united by 2016. It takes someone with an ability to look reality straight in the back side so closely that they lose their head right up it, to entertain that sort of impossibility.

Yet we know only too well that people think all kinds of strange things and they don’t even have to be religious. In 1978 in Cage 11 people could actually be found predicting Scotland to take the World Cup, staged that year in Argentina. How anybody could persuade themselves that such a thing was possible defied all logic. My forecast that Peru would stuff Scotland in the first game led to me being dismissed as hopelessly biased. A bigot I think was the term used. Some of these guys actually had pretensions to lead revolutions. One later publicly explained why he believed Freddie Scappaticci was not a British agent. Beliefs, strange things, not always the product of reason. How could England taking the World Cup be associated with reason? Chalk and cheese.

Take a look at this lot of England muppets. More chance of Iris Robinson taking the DUP Virgin of the Year award than England picking up the World Cup. If they really want success they should consider entering the World Knuckle Shuffling competition. That is something they could win easily overcoming, or coming over some might say, whatever competition took to the field. All the terminally stupid who follow them could chant ‘come on England’. And England would duly oblige.

Summary of tonight’s game: donkeys cheered on by dullards.

  2. Mark, didn't think they would let you near Sevastopol Street these days! And the flag wasn't even my work!! Well, I had to reach out the window to plant the thing as Carrie couldn't reach!!
    Oh you are right - Carrie was pregnant when she last wore the shirt and the stupid thing never regained its shape. What a great idea Mark. Never even thought of that myself. Will gorge on goodies to my heart's content and blame it on the shirt. North Korea - that lot are Stalinist Mark. There will be a mass protest of 3 outside your door demanding you acknowledge the role of Trotsky in humankind's great leap forward.

  3. Michaelhenry, there are none who could beat the English at their own favourite hand sport. That team of knuckle shufflers last night are unrivalled

  4. Anthony enjoy the drink,Carrie said that the only way she could wear that shirt again would be if she was 8 months preggers, and thats only gonna happen if the good ole U.S of A win the world cup. Albert and I said come on in Anthony there,s plenty of room in this fridge.

  5. Mackers, my son might be one of those 'irrelevant lefties' standing outside the America Embassy and considering I have not seen him for the last three days, probably very drunk!

  6. Marty, The only thing Albert said after seeing the photo was, he never realised journalists had it so hard.

  7. Mackers, I actually thought your mug looked a bit like Trotsky himself in that photo!!!!

    This household was very much behind the USA yesterday. Before the match I says 'May yer defence leak, may your midfield wander, may your forwards squander, and may your goalie drop the ball into his own net'. When it actually happened, one of my girls jumped up of the sofa squealin 'Daddy, that's what you said would happen.... mammy, did you see that, that's exactly what Daddy said would happen...' She was so pleased for me...

  10. Seán Mór, this is funny. I can just picture the scene. England are a bad lot.

    But Trotsky has the answer to every
    thing Seán. Look at all the books he wrote about 1969 and 1972 and not to mention 1981. You just have to take his followers word for it. They ae just as right as he was.

    If anything would dissuade a person from socialism it has to be them.

  11. Nuala, lucky him. If he is standing on his own he will be alright. It is when the lemon suckers turn up with their big sour faces that he might have difficulty.

  12. Marty, He has not been at a protest since the great devolution crap at Stormont.Think the abuse they got from Sinn Fein put him off! Seriously they were there protesting over Iraq (Please don't let anyone be offended because I have said that, not moralising
    )He said most of the MLA's and Blair kind of run the gauntlet but the shinners cracked up.

    Mackers, probably not even capable of standing, let alone worried about who he is beside.

  13. He,s your lad Nuala and thats a big plus, if we had a lot more of him we,d be cooking with gas

  14. Loved that article. My wife and I still laughin..I had stated I reconed the only way the USA could score was if the Brits did a howler. My prayers were duely answered. Goin home now to watch Skippy bhoy mc Donald get into the Germans. Come on the socceroos!!

    Mines a double with port Mackers.

  15. All of us Yanks are hugely proud of our side and the fight they showed. That bumbling clown Robert Green will never have to buy a drink ever again in the US.I read an article with a Brit hooligan leader who said Americans have nothing to fear from British hooligans, as long as they're not Irish republican sympathizers. Got a chuckle out of that one.

  16. Marty, thank you so much. That was a lovely thing to say.
    One of these young revolutionary socialists, Albert says, provididng the revolution is after three and they hide the harp.
    Personally I love to listen to him, although I can understand why people would differ.

  17. Nuala,

    the rows I got into with those on the 'Irrelevant Left' were funny if nothing else. They were a cult. But I was warned about them before I got out of jail: the single biggest deterrent to developing a serious Left.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Mackers, I have to say the Socialist Party here, the one headed by people such as Gary Mulcahy and the late Peter Hadden do a lot of good work.

    Althought at times they appear slightly anti-republican, they exposed the Sinn Fein farce in relation to the rate hikes and the water charges.

    Went to a few of their wee fund raisers and I must admit I found them very grounded and very decent people.

    My son parted company with them a few years ago, however, I really believe he benefited as a person during the time he spent with them.

  19. Nuala,

    I had little experience with the Socialist Party although I would vote Joe Higgins down here if I had a chance and would give them a vote in the locals if they run. I had more dealings with the SWP and Socialist Democracy. I ended up coming to the conclusion that they were useless. I have time for some of them but generally think the organisations a waste. Myself and Dolours did the polling booth all day in Derry for McCann who I really have a lot of time for. Myself and others had been up canvassing for him as well. But overall I just get suspicious of cults and suspect they have no beliefs just positions that are handed down to them from the god of the day. And their betrayal of women and gays in favour of an alliance with theocratic fascists beggared belief.

  20. Nuala,

    just re-read your comment and felt my heart skip a beat when you referred to Peter Hadden as 'late'. I did a search and found out he had died. I was very sad to hear that as he was very much committed to people and social justice. I would always stop and sign whatever petition he was pushing. I am just so disappointed that I had no idea he had died. It happens down here. Only I got an e mail from a friend on Facebook I would not have known Seando Moore had died.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes Mackers, two great men Peter and Seando. Knew Seando a lot better than Peter but they were people that you were just proud to know.

    Seando as you know Mackers was an absolute character, loved Albert and the feeling was mutual.

    One thing I truly liked about him was, althought, he lived and breathed Sinn Fein he took everyone elses view point into consideration.

    Have to go, because the 'irrelevant leftie' has just showed up.

  22. Don't think either the US or England will last much longer than No Korea given their lackluster play so far-- but it's fun to see it all. If without sound I fear given those vazuelas or velveetas or whatever that damned buzzmaker's called. Great pic, AM, and keep fortified.

    Ditto. It was good to watch the USA hold their own against England. I remember my first visit to Manchester years ago with some Irish friends from Derry. We were attending a wedding of a mutual friend. We stopped in a pub to have a few drinks the night before and I went to the bar to order drinks. Three Brits were standing at the bar drinking and obviously heard my accent when I ordered. One asked me "are you a yank?" I said I'm American. The one who asked me if I was a yank moved closer to me, looked me right in the eye, and said "You know what I think of American women?” I said no, and I’m not interested. He said “They are nothing more then semen receptacles." Needless to say, I just wanted to throw a pint in his face, but in order to spare us all a brawl, I turned back at him and quietly said "You poor tortured bastard. You Brits still can’t get over the fact that George Washington and the Continental Army kicked your ass out of what is MY COUNTRY the USA. So think about that for awhile and then let me know how you really feel. My friends and I drank our first round and got out of there asap before one of the “numb nuts” had time to think about what I said. So one for THE USA.

  25. Marty, you have even prompted Albert to have a go at my shirt now. YOu have a lot to answer for.

  27. Helen when we were gripped one evening and made to adopt the position ie., spreadeagled against the side of a pig (armoured vehicle) by a squad of Welshies dummy tits, after all the abuse and threats when we hadnt responded one of them called St Patrick a b###ard and so is all his country men, my mate looked at me and then we doubled up in laughter and said to the brit how right you are son, his face ahhh bless

  28. Mackers, he got a good laugh out of the name.
    Has worn the American world cup top quite a few times himself.
