Yeah true. Sonia must be the hardest done by athlete out there.

Suspicion over the Chinese that rushed past her in 1993, sickness in 1996 and a little drugged up Romanian flew past her in 2000.

The Russian lady that won the gold ahead of her in Barcelona 1992 died of unknown causes at the age of 43 and the Russian lady that finished in second in that same race tested positive in 1993.

Absolutley. And to compound her misfortune she is from Cobh. The poor girl was fucked from the start.

Ireland didn’t have a single Irish player on the pitch in our stunning Rugby League World Cup victory over Italy at the weekend - that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great Irish sporting moment.

Yes it does.

It was Rugby Fucking League.

Why? Did he ever fail a drug test? Did the swimmer?

Sonia 1996
Henry 2009
McGuigan v Steve Cruz 1986
Eire v Spain 1993
Any All-Ireland final Colm Cooper played in where Kerry didn’t play an Ulster team

Eire v Spain in 1993 was a success . The Sheridan goal was massive .

You set the bar for success rather low. But then again you are from Limerick.

I see bigger picture . We lost a battle but won the war .

That team fell over the line in spite of itself in that qualification group, with a lot of help from the Danes.
