In terms of racist remarks, is being called a bog trotter a no no on this website? I would just like some clarity on that, is racism on here frowned upon only if its colour or what? Just some heads up, thanks lads!
to the Irish in here! especially mods

Why do you feel like having a bitch at some of the Irish?
Nah I wouldnt worry too much about that if it comes from non-Irish folk, but Dubs have a tendency to refer to anyone from outside Dublin as boggers, muck-savages etc.. thats iritating to say the least!
I am Irish you muppet, I was called it in a thread! Just want to know if that sort of thing is frowned upon or disreguarded!
Fair enough about the Dub folk, but this was from an english poster who doesnt know any better so its different! I dont see the difference between it and the "N" Word tbh!
It seems a bit racist IMO Where did you get called this?
Ha, give us a link so we're not just being all theoretical about racism ... the dub/culchie thing is very complex, I'm a dub, 3 generations all born between the canals, but I've had culchie envy from an early age ... complex indeed ...
the N word is nigger I believe and depending on what you were called I imagine there might be quite a difference ....
ah i see now , bog trotter ...? that's no biggie is it? I love a good stroll along the bog every now and then ... amazing places
this is the bog across the road from my house

in the mourinho lambasts wenger thread, tbh im fine with it i was just wondering what the ethics are in this place, im sure i will find out later. I wasnt exactly behaving myself but still it was a bit uncalled for!

Well Moses, now you used that word it kinda negates my inquest, unless of course you get in shite for that. But anyway here it goes, like I said I wasn't an angel but an being Irish and being called that by an Englishman is historically not well received! lol
jesus , getting insulted by native of perfidious albion is bad but he's a gooner , it's like getting insulted by a retard ...
Being called a bog trotter isn't even remotely racist. But it's factually inaccurate if you're from Dublin. Otherwise it's just stating the obvious really
If someone starts having a pop at you about being Irish it usually means you're winning the argument. So no need to be annoyed, just feel smug.
Any trout in that Owenboy river? Certainly looks fishy.
I've never even heard of it. How crap am I at geography?
Ah dont worry about it. The Irish slurs arent really that vindictive and you dont hear much of them anyway to be honest, apart from Loyalists, which are fuelled by hate.
We shouldnt get carried away with that man, its petty stuff and isnt really hurtful is it - its more confusing that someone would try to get a dig at ya by saying "Bog-trotter" - you should of pissed yourself laughing mate and feel sorry for the silly fool because thats a shit dig at ya!
I don't think you can compare bog-trotter with the "N" word to be fair. They are miles and miles apart. Being slagged or called names in provocative alright - but is it really racist ? I don't think so.........
Aye good trout and it's a Salmon haven ... It's in Sligo, the Ox Mountains , the whole area is great for the fishing ... I'm off west tonight to do a bit ....
Jaysus, not only am I crap at geography, my memory's fecked too
I once spent a whole summer in Sligeach, doing my best to catch a salmon (while I was allegedly getting work experience at Sligo General) I've probably fished in that fecking river!
this is a great thread , paddies just chatting about bogs and fishing! like in de olden times before the brits stole our innocence
... enjoy the weekend lads I'm picking up the chislers and heading west ...

If I call my wife a Fenian bog trotter she just rolls here eyes at me.
She loves it when you talk durty
Have fun, Moses, I'm off on my stag do, all day tomorrow, in London. So when you're getting close to nature and bonding with the chislers, I'll be speaking in tongues, while getting whiskey chasers forced down my neck in some dive in Hackney.
You know what? I really am getting old, 'cause I'd rather be fishing!
I better stay out of the Cat & Mutton then.

Another one bites the dust. Congrats. You would in your shite, a few drinks and you'll be doing karaoke into a mop head and arguing with your mates about the colour of the walls in the pub. Chances are you'll all be wrong
Is that your local? The one in Broadway Market?
Mate of mine runs a business right with offices almost directly opposite. I've had many a pint or three in that place. Nice boozer.
But I'm happy to reassure you that it's not on our itinerary for Saturday.

Yeah. You're right. Thing is I'm getting feared up about the hangover already. A sure sign of impending middle age. This time tomorrow i won't give a shite, mind
Not so you would notice. I think contemptuous tolerance is nearer the mark.
Nah, I'm in south London now, I grew up round there and I've been in a few times since they've done it up. Have a good'un tomorrow.
Cheers, PS. Me and my merry crew will be steering clear of Sarf Lahndan too, you'll be pleased to know.
Until the waggish element of your entourage decides it would be a bit of a laugh to boot polish your private parts and tie you naked to a lamppost in Brixton.
Excellent post in an excellent thread
All we need to add now is beating the missus up in a booze-fuelled rage and start singing "Come out you Black and Tans... come out and fight me like a man...." - all together now: la la la.....
Knowing these cnuts, that's me getting off lightly. The last time one of my mates went on a stag they paid a dwarf to dress up as a smurf and hand-cuff himself to yer man for 24 hours.

Dunno 'bout beating the missus up in a booze-fuelled rage. If anyone's getting bet up, it'll be me, when I crawl up the stairs back home on Sunday morning, looking for some loving.
Alright I'll keep an eye open for a tall fella in gimp gear bondage tied to a diminutive transsexual (and run away if I see one).
My mates are threatening to do that to me !! Costs €1,500 or something. Bastards, they keep bangin on about it, but I really hope they're just having a wind up !! I don't want to spend a weekend in Amsterdam with a smurf hangin outt me !!
Being a proud bogger living in Dublin, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it!!!
Are any of ye boys heading to the paddy Crerand/Lou Macari thing in Dublin in April?

its not racist as far as im concerned.
I think it all kicked off when some random bloke did it a couple of years ago. Now everyone's doing it. Apparently going to the shower and the jacks can get a bit awkward. All depends on the dwarf though. The dwarf hired by my mate was great craic and drank the stag under the table!
