A common refrain from the foam-flecked Brexiteers across the water who have revived the spirit of Enoch Powell but you don't expect that sort of crap to be prevalent in Ireland. That said, I recall reading an interview with Leon Best ( remember him ? ) in which he complained bitterly about being subjected to racism when growing up in Ireland. I suppose the difference would be that he wouldn't have been shy about slapping manners into gobsh*tes.
Dermot O'Leary has often spoken about getting thumped on visits over here when he was younger.

Surely he got thumped everywhere?
Probably, but him getting thumped anywhere else wouldn't be relevant to this page

Really? My experience is that racism, particularly casual racism, but often up to this level, is incredibly common in Ireland and certainly amongst the older generations. Racism in England tends to be, with the exception of the lunatic fringe who have become emboldened by certain political events, institutional rather than of this sort. We don't tend to have institutional racism as it was never necessary, although we have certainly played our part in it abroad. I think as a colonised nation ourselves we seem to think we have always been the victim; that's far from the case.
Over here it is far less likely a young lad would get any comment at all at a football club. It certainly wouldn't be as blunt. To paraphrase Stewart Lee on the changes in how racism is expressed over here; if political correctness has done anything for us, it has made the racism of the Tory party less overt.
Agree with all this. My other half isint Irish and took a long time to settle here, says friendliness here is widespread but superficial, making it difficult to make friends.she is frequently surprised at the amount of casual racism here too,interestingly I asked if it’s any one group of Irish that do it but she says no she’s worked with a wide range of people and it’s both country and city people she’s heard do it.my experience is in Britain it’s less openly done but it’s there too in the Brexit supporting lot.
Joe Murphy ( now 39 ) released by Shrewsbury ; Paul Green ( now 37 ) by newly promoted Crewe ; Dylan Connolly by Wimbledon ; Mark Byrne by Gillingham ( but may be re-signed if he can prove his fitness ).
Wonder will Connolly get picked up by Bradford, seemed to play fairly regularly for them this year. Seems to be one of those players with loads of speed but not much else unfortunately.

The Liverpool Echo reports that Rose turned down a scholarship offer from Everton and that the club will be due training compensation from the German team.
Rose, who was born in England, qualifies to play for Ireland through his Irish mother. He was part of Colin O'Brien's Ireland U17 group which qualified for the elite round of the European Championships last year.

Rose will be the third Ireland underage international at a Bundesliga club. Anselmo Garcia McNulty is at Wolfsburg and Conor Noss at Borussia Mönchengladbach. He has signed a long-term deal with Schalke.

Watch out for the boy McNulty mentioned above, who came to Wolfsburg via Real Betis. One parent is Irish ( north ), the other Spanish but against the boy playing for Spain as he is pro- Catalan or pro-Basque ( can't remember which ). So we've got this kid who's quite a player and was scouted by numerous big clubs during his underage appearances for Ireland. Still very young obviously but could be a big player in the future.
