Perhaps they should drink more, would stop them fighting each other.
Well Taffy St Patrick wasn't Irish was he, so another foreign saint, St David like the Dragon was a figment of imagination, so I'm told by my Welsh friends

No doubt the incident in Belfast happened in Sailor town.
Du Barry's Bar on the docks was frequented by prostitutes and was the favourite haunt of Belfast's gay community. Me thinks JS stole the Pimps take away?
Perhaps you could pass on some of those gentlemanly ways to the England football supporters while they are in foreign lands? Sadly we did witness how well they performed when they met up with a load of Russian football hooligans during the 2016 Euro Finals.
