EmeraldEye Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Every year is the same. In the run up to St Pats day there is always soneone who starts having a go as they feel 'others' recieve preferential treatment. It is not the fault of the Irish community that St Pats day is celebrated all around the world. The day should be a day to celebrate the rich culture of the Irish and has become something else with the involvement of breweries, tents on fargate. But lets be clear no one stops the English celebrating St George's day it is the mindset that needs changing and stop thinking of yourselves as victims.....get your day organised and make it a day to celebrate the richness of English culture. Im Irish and would come along galdly and enjoy the things that makes this country great....real beer, literature, music etc. By sitting on your backside and complaining will change nothing.

mossdog Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The Dog and Partridge and Fagans pubs will be packed to over flowing again probably no doubt as always on this night so anyone intending to go there should book their seat early about 12 midday and bring 1000 pounds with them to pay for the Guinness. Also a little birdie told me that the Lions Lair may be having Irish themed fun and games of some kind and cheaply priced bright green shots to boot mmmmm ;-)A thousand pounds will only buy you two pints of Guinness at Fagans or the Dog and Partridge!

Meaks Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Where? Where? St Patrick's day has just become a marketing exercise by Guinness. I'm afraid even the offer of a free comedy hat for every 5 pints wouldn't persuade me to drink such over-chilled, overpriced rubbish. Especially in a pub full of morons wearing oh-so-hilarious leprechaun beards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrees and im also from an Irish background. The Irish in sheffield are a minority, more of a minority than other ethnic groups and yet SOME people (say no names)seem to slag off the Irish with little or no reserve. (Im not talking about traveller Irish either)Adds......Before anyone suggests im against the English, I am not and for the sake of argument, as well as being proud of my non commercialised Irish heritage,i.e St Patricks day... I was born and bred in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carborundum Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I must say I used to enjoy going out on St Patricks night to celebrate all things irish, listen to live music etc but in recent years seeing such crass over commercialisation by the likes of big companies like Guiness, and how more and more young loutish drunken morons go about in packs irresponsibly drinking from around midday until midnight and being a positive danger to others and themselves, fighting in pubs to get served, spilt beer, vomit, urine you name it - I feel I will be giving it a miss this year thank you.

top4718 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sorry but I still cannot understand why anyone here who is not Irish would have any interest in celebrating it. Reminds me of the time (about 15yrs ago) when they were changing nearly every pub into these ridiculously named Irish theme pubs (Scruffy 'O' Murphys etc). What is wrong with this country.

Stainboy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sorry but I still cannot understand why anyone here who is not Irish would have any interest in celebrating it. People just like a theme and a different reason to go out, same as xmas, new years, someone elses wedding, etc. Nothing really wrong with that if it's what you like.
