You dim fuck.

@Gman

You’re swinging and flailing all over the place bud. Strong favorites winning games isn’t in the same category as the embarrassment yesterday.

Sure it isnt bud

Rugby World Cup 2023

The 2023 Rugby World Cup is in France

Does anybody know Ireland’s history of playing Rugby World Cup matches in France?

Another more recent massive sporting capitulation for the collection

That wasn’t more recent than yesterday, you big eejit.

Nice bite to this post. Whilst knowing next to nothing about hurling, it strikes me that Galway teams usually play to a very predictable pattern and can be easily defended against as a result. Galway are usually tactically naive, or at the very least the lack tactical innovation.

I can think of periods or instances when counties like Kilkenny, Limerick, Clare and arguably Tipperary also have shown tactical innovation. I can never remember an example of Galway being tactically innovative, or even just tactically smart.

I think they played an extra midfielder in the 1986 All-Ireland hurling semi-final

It was hailed as a revolution in hurling “tactics”

Kilkenny’s 3-3-2-3-3 formation could not handle Galway’s 3-3-3-3-2 formation

Hmmmm.Interesting theory.

What’s the humidity like in France?

Imagine New Zealand losing to Japan at a World Cup. And kicking the ball out at the end to gallantly claim a losers bonus point.

A shameful, gutless, cowardly defeat that has brought shame to Team Vodafone Ireland.

Personally I thought Ireland were heroic and brave to get within 7 points of a team of sumo wrestlers and baseball players.

Fuck off you inbred twelve fingered cunt

I saw this in the local Ladbrokes shop on Friday.

Not anywhere close. If you want to compare Wexfords monumental collapse in a game they were underdogs in and had the chance to win, I’d compare it to Ireland’s loss to New Zealand in 2013 when they had the chance in their hands to win and lost. If you still want to flail around after yesterday’s loss and drag Wexford hurling into to try get some bites, compare it to their under 21 embarrassment against Antrim a few years back. That would be more comparable to yesterday.

Best of luck with the rest of the days posting. Hopefully Joe.ie will have more laughter and japes from supporters out in Japan to soften the blow for us all.

That was one of the best pieces of game management all day from Ireland in a below par and disappointing performance. Joey Carberry showed maturity beyond his years there.
