He's Australian. Still the head coach of England, though.

I've not watched it but by the premise you describe, I wouldn't find it offensive in any way. In much the same way that I wouldn't find it offensive if it were switched round to any other nationality.

Jealousy and inferiority complex.

Well the Irish, Scots and Welsh played as much a part in that as the English did. The French were pretty good at it, too.

Can't disagree with you there as I have Irish ancestors. 

Why? He's factually wrong. Bolton is bigger than the Republic of Ireland's second city Cork.

I don't think everyone with red hair is descended from the Irish! :lol: I don't have red hair.

No, but I think a large portion of red heads do descend from Ireland 70.gif

We don’t find it offensive because every English man and woman knows deep down the answer....

We are just better than everyone else;)

I don't care if you're Welsh, English, Irish or Scots, you know the the people in the next, village, town, county, are weird, and you delight in telling them that. It's not serious*.

Put it this way. If he knew he was being recorded, do you think he would say it?

Doesn't really matter because it was only a bit of banter. Making him apologise was a bit much.

Well who'da thunk it. I just googled my surname and it's a Welsh name of old Celtic origins derived from a Germanic root. Everyday's a school day. genius.gif

Wasn't going to bring that up, considering we all just taking the p***. But add our waters into that and we are considerably bigger. But that has to be wrong lol. England is definitely bigger.

I've already established how we are better.
