You're not going...

oh, that's alright then. no problem. as long as nobody takes them seriously. I assume the same can be said for right wing skinheads like screwdriver if they played in the pub. don't take them seriously about their racist songs as it just songs people sing.

take a look at yourself ffs.

Well I am not sure the comparison holds between racism and nationalism. But anyhow most of the Wolfe tones stuff I can recall is all about the period around 1916 in Ireland I am not so sure how its considered relevant to any current situation.
Seems mostly they are just songs these days sung by Celtic supporters to wind people up.

No place for it anywhere to be honest. Ive been in bars in the Gallowgate and PRW and some of the pish these knuckleheads sing is comical...on both sides.

I am going for a curry tonight and DH is in Italy and the big bairn is out so no babysitter

I wasn't defending the bar for the record, it just seemed a curious thing to get overly offended by.
And I certainly am no fan of the Wolfe Tones.

Anyhow thread derail over

StublueKPL

this is not about rangers and celtic. The Wolfe Tones shouldn't have been invited in the first place. but if that's what that pub wants, then fine. as mentioned, it wont get another shekel from me (or others)

And the Wolfe Tones have a few songs more relevant to the troubles. and i'm sure you already know that.

I agree. Over the years, I'm no angel in that respect but at least I know right from wrong and have grown up (well mostly!)

at the end of the day. McGettigans was wrong in allowing a band like the Wolfe Tones to play in Dubai. (And I would say the same for loyalist folk bands as well for that matter).

end of subject and apologies for debating on a thread about a meet up!!

All of it is just ****ing pathetic.

No one side can claim to be better than the other...although obviously the Irish started it...

shiva

i agree however from a purely historical point of view the English started it

scrubbedexpat141

No we didn't....they did.

(Hang on a minute, I think I know what started it)

I think we got the best deal in the end,all of the south and left the northerners with Britain.
