[dontFwitmeFs]

[iNarbage]

[SuperClintEastwood]

I'm proud to be half Irish!

[andythehun09]

the warriors code?..only in ireland would blowing up women and children be seen as a code

[nwoapocolypse12]

@andythehun09 Only in england would it be acceptable to destroy whole peoples and cultures for the sake of imperialism, oh my bad america and isreal too.

[nwoapocolypse12]

[darkshadow2341]

[ColtO9]

lol im listenting this with a black eye. cant escape irish heritage and wouldnt want to 

[danieldurchtechnik]

@ColtO9 What does having a black eye have to do with your 'Irish' heritage?

[ColtO9]

@danieldurchtechnik ever heard of the "fighting irish"? or the fact that this song is about the fighting 69th. why ask that question

[marksmissingagain]

eire go brach.ira forever

[papamidnight74]

@purplesquirrl i never pick a fight specially when im drinking, but i know i can handle my self and so can my friends, its the ones who pick the fights and end up losing who pull out the weapons like the bitches they are. :-)

[papamidnight74]

Not Irish but i do enjoy a good drink with friends and a good fight, too bad in NYC it always end up with guns lol

[purplesquirrl]

@papamidnight74 That's what I hate. In this day, you can't fight without someone pulling a knife or a gun or a board with fucking nails, or every person they know deciding to kick your ass and ruin the fair fight.

[69BMFU69]

I just like to fight, don't really care for drinking or guns.

[hardingap]

My friend, Johnny's favorite joke is: "The only thing I like better than sucking cock is getting in a good fist fight." It always sets the other guy back in in his chair. John's from Lawrence, Mass..

[Joshuaviddle]

[jumper1428]

Eure Kommentare amüsieren mich ja außerordentlich. -applaus- Weiter so! (-;

[Anagaer]

@Malperciio Danke du sprichst mir aus der Seele :D genau das hab ich auch gedacht bei den Kommis :D Lets gooo Murphy´s

[TheEnviroFriend]

@Malperciio Warum gibt es so viele Kommentieren auf Deutschin dieser video?

Entschuldigung, mein Deutsch ist schlecht.

[radioblueheart]

Being part Irish I feel a little pride, but the truth is the US Army created separate Irish units only so they could be used as canon fodder and shock troops, much like the all-Black units. They treated the Irish like scum. For much of the 19th century signs saying "Irish Need Not Apply" and "No Irish Allowed" were as common as "No Blacks Allowed" or "No Jews Allowed" in cities like New York and Chicago.

[pocketkings250]

"Steady Boys, here comes that Damn Green Flag again" Coygnham. ERIN GO BRAGH!

[zoomandgroom313]

[TheBigSmouqh]

Der größte Vaterlandsverräter ist der, der sein Land an eine krankhafte Ideologie verrät. Denk mal drüber nach MCildis.

[annynameatall]

pity the union fucked them and had most dead or captured by the british canadians,thanks for that betraying yankee bastards.

[nerddude7]

Good old irish music to sooth the soul.

Now how did i end up all the way in western america?

[GrigoriZhukov]

@nerddude7 either following female or the brass ring. 8^) That or good old wanderlust, which personally I think is the ONLY valid reason imho.

[GrigoriZhukov]

Wanderlust the only valid reason in my humble opinion is WANDERLUST. Wealth? BAH! Women? HA! There's a whole planetful to choose from.

[chriswestMD84]

martin 1226 the Confederacy had Irish brigades too ya twat

[MyLawless]

Im 100% Irish born raised and still here and Dropkicks are welcome any day

[martin1226]

[GrigoriZhukov]

[budzin303]

[andythehun09]

@LkCbAdBoYs having visited both the republic and ulster,i can safely say that only the uneducated, chav, jeremy kyle bait, benefit scrounging irish,say things like up the ra

[MrOhanzee]

to those who cant drink in their local bars, because they are fighting for freedom!

[atomic116090]

@MrOhanzee So tell me, who the fuck is threatening our freedom? You're a sheep following the herd to its slaughter house.

[MrOhanzee]

@atomic116090

Really so you are blaming soldiers for the actions of idiots in the goverment? Im talking about american soldiers, who are fighting for freedom! My thoughts on the IRA and the British goverment are diffferent so back off.

[alphazarpha]

@MrOhanzee were is that? in american i am still fighting for free speech at my school!

[TheBigSmouqh]

@MrOhanzee and for those who drink in their local bars, because they cant fight anymore

[DUBvsJDM]

Go on the the Murphys

Yeeehhhooooooooo!!!!!!!

[Yogurtgames]

Found out I'M A MACGREGOR!!!!!

[kieranfitz]

@Yogurtgames so your a jock, well done

[Yogurtgames]

@kieranfitz What are you talking about?

[induress77]

just found out i descend from the Maclaren clan, they settled the eastern shore of Virginia. i got both! guess thats why i can drink, fight, and fuck bitches lol

[pee2727]

@induress77 I'm personally proud that the Dropkick Murphys have a Scott now.

[wjmcdonald1986]

@induress77 yep and ulster scots are irish which is to say both, because north irish from ulster are scotsman that settled the area in the 1100s

[6mmWarrior]

In america there is so many cultures that exist there, i believe if they practice celtic traditions they can speak irish or gaelic, they are celtic and can call themselves irish or scottish because thats what they are

[thatconnallykid]

@induress77 agreed! we irish and the scotts may fuck with each other but ill fight alongside 'em anyday!

[EatMyLuckyCharmz]

Kiss me between the pockets of me trousers.

[mshanlon94]

@Blutotube they aren't confederates the flag is the flag of the 69th, the uniforms just look grey

[Blutotube]

Why in this video is there still a picture of southerns irish confederates? at 0:24 I think is a photogram about Sons of Erin guided by Patrick Cleburne.

[cloepoo1]

[PadraikKasier]

@cloepoo1; Sure. It's right next to Freedonia.

[kLeRrks]

[sickid307]

[9998833]

What about St. Patrick's Battalion from the Mexican-American War? They deserve respect!!! What the fuck!!

[warslayer101]

@9998833 Like hell they do, they were a bunch of goddamn traitors who deserted their posts and joined the mexican army

[hammerboi87]

@warslayer101

Yeah, they should have kept plundering churches and desecrating holy places like good Americans. >:(

[darkshadow2341]

@warslayer101 but the american treated the irish like shit they got of famine ships and were conscripted having to leave thier familys in a strange land with not a word of english and sent to fight in a war that had nothing to do with them ironicly the native americans saved up money and food and sent it to help the irish and the mexicans treated the irish much better than the americans ever did and they couldnt be trators they wernt given citizenship on till after the war

[keepsake327]

@9998833 Then write a song about them!

[darkshadow2341]

@9998833 i think the st patricks battalion still exists in the mexican army :-)

[staley101]

[mrmagicroundcircle]

@StaRxMovieS what the fucks it do with you

[Dordrius]

@StaRxMovieS Because it takes Irish-Americans for the Irish to have anything to brag about.

[TheSunWillDieOut]

@Dordrius Yeah I bet you are psyched that the internet provided a way to talk shit to irishmen and not get yer nose broken.

[mvz1991]

@TheSunWillDieOut it provided a way for irish ppl who arent violent to be the same internet hero you say others are ;)

[TheSunWillDieOut]

@mvz1991 No what I am saying is that in my neighborhood nobody is stupid enough to talk shit to an irishmen unless they are ready to get beat black and blue

[joeleppard93]

@TheSunWillDieOut lol us irish are no trouble and wouldnt harm ya or anyone but i do idmit we were built for fighting and love a good scrap lol but not with people who dont have it coming lol

[TehLycan]

@joeleppard93 Couldn't have said it better my self. =[)

[hunclemike]

@joeleppard93 I'm half Irish, you just explained a lot to me. I always loved a nice fistfight with loudmouth or a drunken prick.

[CitizenZero00]

@hunclemike ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ,EH?

[TheSunWillDieOut]

@mvz1991 And btw congratulations on your originality you just repeated what I said but in your own words.

[Grallos1232]

@TheSunWillDieOut If he talked shit to a irishman uhh, his flesh on his face would be ripped of by the pure stench of the brandy breath lol

[ninjaswordtothehead]

@TheSunWillDieOut Why I punch random frat boys, I'll get one of their asses eventually.

[shaundavis24]

@TheSunWillDieOut FUCK YEAH DUDE!!!

[TheSunWillDieOut]

@shaundavis24 haha that dude is mad because he knows its true

[shaundavis24]

@TheSunWillDieOut --No doubt brother.

[BenCulverson]

@TheSunWillDieOut don't worry, we'll find you away from the computer then break your nose

[TheSunWillDieOut]

@BenCulverson I am looking forward to it!

[DustyAndPistolPete]

@Dordrius What are you talking about,we were creating Western Civilisation back when your population was 10 Indians and a few Buffalo.

[Dordrius]

@DustyAndPistolPete Naw, man. I come from an Irish family, just trash talking because I can - I love the Irish.

[americanTDz]

@StaRxMovieS they were Irish imergrents sorry for bad spelling auto correct is being dumb on my computer

[StaRxMovieS]

@americanTDz

Well that explains a lot :D

[TheSparkyGaming]

@StaRxMovieS .....The 69th were a civil war regiment in the union side. And they were Irish

[bigapplebucky]

@TheSparkyGaming - They were Americans and proved it by fighting for the Union. NY-Irish heritage, of course.

At Malvern Hill, the 69th led the brigade in a charge against advancing Southern troops. The 69th forced the retreat of the famed Confederate Irish Regiment Louisiana Tigers, an event for which General Robert E. Lee gave the regiment its nickname, "The Fighting 69th". Later, in both World War II and in Operation Iraqi Freedom, the 69th and the Louisiana Tigers fought side by side.

[EightTobiins]

@StaRxMovieS they don't even sound that irish to me? Like flogging molly and the pogues are celtic punk, they are like punk with an accordion and maybe a banjo.

[FelixBrahh]

@EightTobiins Thats because theyre American, the accent is different.

[FelixBrahh]

Respond to this video... Oh and Flogging Molly arnt Irish...American again and The Pogues were formed in London

[EightTobiins]

@FelixBrahh I've met flogging molly, I can tell you with certainty that they are irish. yes the Pogues are from London but their ties to ireland are much greater. Also, the lead singer of the Dropkick Murphy's has nothing to do with Celtic or anything. I do like a lot of their music, but the voices just ruin it a little for me. Still a fabulous band though.

[Yurec1000000]

Ireland > shit >USA

[efitzgeraldirl]

The fighting 69th owes a debt of gratitude to T.F Meagher. He of Civil war fame and the first man to raise the Irish Tricolour aloft in Waterford city on March 1, 1848 at the Wolfe Tone Confederate Club" at No. 33, The Mall, Waterford

[GothicJest]

ERIN GO BRAGH

[Williamvale35]

What about Prince William III army 1690 

[MrRoryTV]

@Williamvale35 fuck off you orange bastard, still sucking the dick of your pathetic DUTCH history you think cunt. i think i'm usually a nice person but i'd happily put a gun to your head a pull the trigger.

you think making fun of thousands of Irish men, women and children being slaughtered for being Catholic is funny? you make me sick.

[lorddwan]

@MrRoryTV

don't fuck with the dutch

as a start, people get slaughter for more stupid things then believing in a God a certain way

like money(Iraq)

or for having power(Ireland 20th century)

[squeekycaravan]

@lorddwan Dont fuck with the dutch? LOL why not? Oh yeah what did they do? started the slave trade.

[lorddwan]

@squeekycaravan lol I don't say my anchestors did that? why just living on a legacy honor the fallen but just in a certain way if my ancestors did it I'm not proud of it, it might be in my blood I DON'T GIVE A FUCK and anyway every country has his best history "de slag om den haag" never heard of it? 10.000spaninsh spearfighters against 50 dutch people...with daggers the dutch won cause the spanish didn't loose formation

[Yakiller69]

@lorddwan Do you know the name of the Battle? The sheer odds of this fascinates me and i wouldnt mind knowing more about it.

[MrRoryTV]

@lorddwan "don't fuck with the dutch" mate are you trying to scare me. you think it's ok for people to be slaughtered for being Catholic then? i dance on loyalists graves

[lorddwan]

@MrRoryTV

woow I envy you...

I really mean it

no iq,and still talking?

[MrRoryTV]

@lorddwan Hmm nice one there, have nothing to say so you make a stupid estimated personal attack.

[lorddwan]

@MrRoryTV

and it was an honor

[BrianBinOR]

It's said that at Appomattox, a confederate officer told his union counterpart, "You only won because you had more Irish."

[seth282]

As a pure Irish man, living in America. I say fuck twollocks and fuck ya duffter.

[Duffter]

And twollocks, if u want to talk about stealing - everything u pride as Scottish, from ur whiskey to ur tartan to ur kilts to ur music was given to u by Ireland. You still copy it! Even your national language is just slightly morphed Irish. We civilised YOU, and fought with you against colonisation, in return for which u allied yourselves with the Brits in eradicating our industry over centuries. This kept your exports high while Ireland's were thoroughly raped. Why go on about the famine and p

[Duffter]

You can read the history of the fighting 69th on wiki, and decide for yourself if you're correct abou their unionist-scotch haha.

69th_Infantry_Regiment_(New_Yo­rk)

Bottom line - nobody should ever believe a loyalists account of history, as they are always bs in my experience, despite their claims that everyone is stealing from them.

[Duffter]

Wish the Irish today still embraced their identity as passionately as the Irish Americans do. Nowadays it's scoffed at to do so - more media brainwashing.

[Duffter]

Twolocks u twat I wish u were smart enough to see what's wring with your argument haha. Almost as funny as the unionists talking about how St. Patrick was a prod. Idiocy not worth arguing with, not that it would matter anyway since the Brits hadn't yet architected the religious divide in Ireland at the time you're talking about! Anglo-Scotch muppet!

[TheTwollocks]

ulster scots = lowland scot and northern english.........lowland scots angles different from other scots not celtic

[TheTwollocks]

as usual another irish catholic bullshitting the americans

[TheTwollocks]

absolute bollocks .......we are completly different same old irish catholic bollocks...lies and more lies always the same........nobody has ever come to my house or the rest of my familys houses or my friends houses or thier familys houses with a dna kit and took samples.....so where does this resaerch come from....BOLLOCKS WE ARE NOT THE SAME NEVER WILL BE

[TheTwollocks]

ulster scot angles....................iris­h catholics whatever.... we are not the same ......same old bollocks research this research that.....we are not the same people

[TheTwollocks]

ulster scots i.e.scotch irish are not irish or celtic simple as, its a well known FACT you can say it all you like ulster scot protestants are not irish or celtic......i wish irish catholics would stop stealing ulster scot american history all proddy,s

[saoirse2011]

@TheTwollocks The 69th were formed from Irish catholic emigrants in New york but you are correct the Ulster scots fought for the southern states and some for slavery..As regards their genetic make up(celtic,scots/irish,Irish,sc­ots)recent research reveals there is no difference between the groups,but the cultural,religous,and political environment of the past 500 years has defined who we are today.

[TheTwollocks]

they were'nt even irish they were scotch irish protestants .ie.ulster scots......not irish catholics

[ALT3RNAT1V3MUS1C]

@TheTwollocks Who marched under the Irish banner. United Irishmen. Fighting for the green in the US.
