Where have all the racist bigots on here this week come from?

This is meant to be about rugby.

Pretty much every question on here has an English person slagging off the Scottish.

Northern Irish having a go at the Irish.

Welsh moaning about the English.

Can we not leave all that nonsense to the footballers.

Update:

Yeah, sorry Mike.

Didn't mean to leave the Scottish off the list.

There are some on here who are as embarrassing as anyone.

    As an Irishman I'm too miserable to slag anyone else off at the moment. As regards the Irish North v South thing. Remember abusing each other on forums etc. is actually an improvement on our recent behaviour. .

    Well if I see comments (particularly from the English, funnily enough) that try to downplay any good performance by Wales, I will respond with vigour!

    A lot of the England supporters seem to be 'Sunday supporters' who only come out of the woodwork when teams apart from England are doing well, or when they can be bothered to drag themselves away from their premiership football on Setanta.

    The arrogance of some of these so called England fans is astounding - they will not admit their team's shortfalls, even when they are staring them in the face. Cannot accept criticism, just deal it out.

    Apologies to the real England rugby supporters, this does not apply to you people at all.

    particular yet Obama and his total family individuals went to that church for over twenty years and Obama gave him an significant place in his presidential race. If Hillary appointed a member of the prolonged family individuals to her cupboard and gave 28 thousand to his church, she could be long previous long previous long previous. Obama is a completely grown person and could for a metamorphosis be held to blame for some very heavily undesirable judgements. Wright clamed that our government created AIDS to kill each and all of the blacks interior the international. in simple terms at the instant one individual and one individual on my own became given an excuse by using the Reverend Jessie Jackson to now not attend a memorial for Dr. Martin Luther King. It became Obama because of the fact if he's ellected in accordance to Jackson he would be fullfilling Dr. Kings dream. there isn't any way that anybody who's white could get this sort of unfastened pass ever. Obama has used the Geraldine Ferraro as an occasion of racist in basic terms because of the fact she mentioned that some could vote for him because of the fact he's black, even nonetheless the polls say the comparable ingredient. Others have echoed the comparable ingredient and have been additionally branded as racists strait away. exceptionally much something aginst Obama has supposedly been racist whilst have seen Reverend Jackson supply Obama an excuse for now not appearing at Dr. Kings Memorial (the only canidate who did now not seem there). you have now not given particular words that have been mentioned against all people, you in simple terms threw out that common term "Racist" like people who cried witch. So frequently those so referred to as racist words are exceptionally much precisely what Obama has mentioned be conscious for be conscious. it extremely is sparkling that an excellent style of Obamas campaign has been to accuse each and every person who does not accept as true with him of being a racist monster, while he has appointed an extremist to his very own cupboard.

    While banter is all good and such, some of this is getting a little childish.

    We all have teams that we prefer over others. We all have our favorites that we want to win even if it is apparent that it will not happen.

    We are not soccer fans here, there is no need for a verbal "riot". :)

    Everyones team is good because it is there team, same as why we dislike the other teams, they are not ours. Its a viscious cycle.

    I think there is a new breed coming through who don't know what cheeky banter is...or who think that being a sociopathic shitbag = banter..

    Some of the stuff is quite disturbing..

    You don't meet too many of these people at rugby matches though...but who knows..with the older happier tongue in cheek generation dying off...the sociopaths could make things quite unpleasant for everyone in a few years...

    I think you're mistaking good ol'fashioned rugby banter with something altogether different.

    I'm Welsh, but live and play etc in England and have no problem with the English per se.

    However, I despise the English rugby team. And I have every right to, thank you very much!
