Real edgy stuff today from the North County Dublin yacht club/lawn tennis brigade of the Pretend IRA.
There are similarities between Galway and Croatia. Don’t have much of a tradition of success. Traditionally a poverty-stricken backwater. Famous for its islands. Now a hipster tourist destination. Full of Nazis.
One big difference is Croatians have a fighting tradition whereas Galway has never had.
Ireland isn’t a serious soccer nation…to suggest otherwise is farcical. Thus is GAA country with pockets of soccer and rubby.
Waterford have two tournament wins pal.
They wernt marginal favourites
I sense anger
They were marginal favorites . Shouldn’t have been mind .
Great they finally have something to cheer
The game of 1900-1930 or so which England invented and still play is not good enough any more.
I didn’t have you down as a talksport man. Do you drive a white van?
I usually switch it off as soon as I hear those mockney in yer face ads. Those people have no idea of the pathos, drama, pathos, triumphs and failures of your humble chippy or bricky.
East Midlands Trains are starting delusion early for the next World Cup.
it didnt look good for a while but it turned out a really good world cup for the pretend ira Eire fans, probably their best tournament since 1990
Sport is parochial and tribal in nature. Its fiercely competitive and sometimes a bit of a chip on the shoulder is necessary to propel a team or individual to greater heights. Wanting your neighbour to do well i.e. England is sacrilege. And I’d wager anyone who would support England have never played sport to any discernable level. Sport for them is placing 5 teams in an accumulator on a Saturday, playing fantasy premier league and trying to get Accrington Stanley to the champions league on their XBox. In other words they are pathetic individuals with no soul and are lazy bastards. You could allude to Damien Duff or Liam Brady wanting England to do well as evidence to the contrary but in reality they are singing for their supper.
They’re only silly games mate, why would you despise the neighbouring parish so much?
How are Duff and Chippy singing for their supper? They are commenting on Irish television, the easy out for them would be to bash the Brits.They’ve also made enough money to call it how they like. Your argument is nonsense.
There are so many examples which prove you wrong that it’s difficult to know where to start.
We get it, you hate England, the English, and everything about England.
Good for you.
There’s an incredible amount of thought and analysis and time spent watching soccer by Eire soccer types here. Imagine if some element of that time and effort went into developing soccer in Eire or even supporting an Eire soccer club.
Why do you support the Irish rugby team mate?
They might end up with an Eire team who can intentionally pass the ball with their foot to a team mate 10 metres away.
