I am Irish so I am well aware of our history with MUFC.
This is why my family over three generations have supported United.
My grand-father loved Johnny Carey.
There are people in this thread who have said they hate England and English fans because they have the gall to sing their national anthem yet support United (a team based in England) apparently.
They are a joke.
Who’s that?
I explained why a lot of Irish people hate the England team because - amazingly - some of ye aren’t able to figure this out.
I don’t hate the England team and I
certainly don’t hate English people. I only got dragged into this stupid bun fight because of a post saying I’m finding it hard to continue
supporting this team. Why would I have ever been supporting a team I hate?!
I’m Irish and overt English nationalism makes the vast majority of Irish people a little uneasy. For obvious fecking reasons. FWIW I know plenty of English people who are uneasy about it too. So it isn’t easy to continue feeling the love for a load of fans singing God Save The Queen, while dressed as knights from the crusades. This seems to have massively hurt the feelings of a few people, who must have been counting on my support. Oh well. Sorry to let them down.
Having said all that I’d be lying if I said a big part of me wouldn’t be chuffed to see Jesse, Young, Jones and Rashford with WC medals. So I certainly won’t be gutted if England win.
