[quote=“FingalRaven, post: 772368, member: 80”]A junior footballer from cork knows more about sport than the Australian institute of sport
right you are
in the last year we were:
In the top 10 countries in the world at the olympics
won the highest prize in Golf
in a strong position to qualify for the football world cup
We will always be successful
In regards to Aussies not being bothered about football in favour of GAYFL- incorrect as proven to you earlier in the week[/quote]
So? Ireland a year ago had won the highest prize in golf qualified (through a much more difficult system) for Euro 2012 and could point to an Olympics medal return that is one of the highest per head of population.

2. We were 22nd on the Olympic Medals per head of Capital, ahead of Great Britain and the USA.
3. We had qualified for Euro 2012.[/quote]
Raven clamped…again!
Its worth commenting on the performance of Australia in three sports over the past number of years that they have always put huge emphasis on.
Swimming - At last year’s Olympics in London, Australia failed to win a gold medal in an individual event, the first time that has happened since 1976 in Montreal .
Tennis - No player currently ranked in the Top 50 in the world and in the Gentleman’s Singles Championship at the All England Club last year, no Australian player made it beyond the first round for the first time since 1938.
Cricket- The Australian cricket team is at its lowest ebb in 30 years. Just been whitewashed 4-0 by India, the first time they’ve been whitewashed in a 4 test series since 1970. In the last Ashes series in Australia, Australia were so bad that England only had to bat once in the Adelaide, Melbourne & Sydney tests in recording three separate innings victories.

This is it, sports they once excelled at are now struggling at. Rugby Union is completely fucked.
Jesus TASE is getting an awful hammering this week. That was one if his most bizarre counter points though. He needs to be towed away from the computer, not clamped.

No point towing him away when broadband is so readily available in Baldoyle. Another Re-Brand is called for.
