The Chinese had a great auld laugh at us lads. Wearing a green hat in Chinese culture means your wife/girlfriend cheated on you. The phrase in Chinese sounds similar to chinese for “cuckhold” and dates back to the Yuan dynasty when the relatives of prostitutes were forced to wear green hats.

OP i thought u were talking bollix, but after a quick google you are indeed correct about the hats ahaha wtf!
Payback for all the years of all the scrotes putting on cod Chinese accents in all the Chinese takeaways and restaurants. Karma really *is* a bitch!
Ah sure, we’re a grand bunch of whores anyway. Well, most of us.
Op watches alot of Asian cuckold porn i guess
…. But also note, they were the ONLY team to bow in respect
That is brilliant!
Do we have a team in Winter Olympics? I never knew that
Did they comment on it on the Chinese feeds? Didn’t in the Summer Olympics opening one of the Asian feeds make an insulting comment about drinking culture
Good thing they’re Irish and not Chinese then
Hang on….does noone else’s missus cheat on them?? Mines been doing it years
Better get my green hat on so.
No, first these are woolly hats, so it’s fine. Secondly, they are foreigners not Chinese so it’s fine. Thirdly it’s our national colour so it is completely appropiate. Fourthly nobody really gives a fuck about the green hat thing anymore unless they are a proper backwards farmer from the sticks.
Wearing green used to be see as a sign of poverty I Ireland as it meant your clothes were old and the arsenic was show up
They laugh at us for wearing green hats, we laugh at them for eating bats.
Had some Chinese over for work a few years ago and they loved buying the Paddy hats and putting them. Would be in stitches and we’d be baffled.
They eventually told us why, and when I saw the Olympic hats last night it reminded me of that straight away.
What a bunch of lads
Fuck em. If your hosting the Olympics I think you have to accept cultural differences.
Never noticed this before but two people holding a flag while walking and looking in different directions is hilariously awkward.
that is objectively very funny to be fair
State tv is CCTV. At least they’re honest.
Sick burn.. 🙄
Wow, I can’t believe that you missed the news yesterday where the entire Irish Olympic team admitted they were cheating on their partners.
I find it funnier that they need a way in their culture to publicly announce that you’re a cuckhold for the last 700 years
I remember a Chinese lass I went on a date with telling me about this ahhh lads
How about we laugh at their human rights record.
Some lads in the comments are pissed for some reason and think they have a “good reason”to insult the Chinese. Never know you lads are so insecure about yourself.
Good thing we don’t have concentration camps, unlike some countries.
They should have worn orange instead. /s 😎
Or it could just be that Ireland brought it’s culture to another country, most Irish on paddies day wear green hats, and you have taken a Chinese thing and turned it to suit your racist ideas. Yes that does mean they have had a cheating partner, no, they aren’t laughing thinking they are all cheaters. This is just two cultures sharing each other’s cultures.
I mean we are kind of cuckolds to the Anglo heads, investment groups, revenue and various other parasitic entities like Robert Watt👺
A great bunch of lads
My girlfriend’s girlfriend told me about this!
Who cares what the Chinese think? There is a nearly endless list of cultural iconography in this world.
For example I find it unbelievably disgusting that Chinese train station shitters are nothing more than a hole in the ground.
That seems pretty goddamned funny to me but I doubt there are any Chinese that reality give a shit about my opinion on this matter any more then the Irish should give a crap about the Chinese opinion on green hats
Well… Could it be any worse? What would an orange hat mean?
Catholic bishop’s coat of arms traditionally have a green hat (galero), but this is changed only in China to violet
We wear Green hats coz we traveled a long way to shag your wives/husbands
The Chinese, a great bunch of lads
How often were the stadium staff warned not to say shit
“Great bunch of lads”
