Olympians/Sports stars You Suspect Are Juiced Up

@glasagusban

Maybe we only just caught on to how thick you are?

I think the fact it took ye this long to get to this point shows how much more stupid ye actually are.

I feel sorry for the next generation of Limerick hurling people, besieged my over expectancy and retardedness.

[quote=“Thrawneen, post: 802908, member: 129”]Actually there’s an interview with Billy Walsh in the current Hot Press where he says that USA should be the leading boxing nation in the world but he reckons the set-up is shite and one day, maybe after Rio, it’d be a goal of his to go there and get them winning medals.

The fact he also got offers after London from several big nations suggests the set-ups in many countries is shite.[/quote]

Not absolutely. I don’t think its auggests anything as shit, just maybe people looking at pushinh on. Maybe he is just seen as one of the best at his job in the world, so other nations throw money at him. They may look at him and say “look at what he can do in Ireland, what could he do with a million boxers”, type of thing.

I’m sure he’d explain to you himself one man can’t change a whole national team. He is undoubtably a star himself in his role. But you can’t make champions out of pluggers.

We are a very genetically mixed country, contrary to what we were taught at school. Our Basque Celt, Gaul, Viking, Norman, Flemish mix tends to leave us with sharpness, whit, and elusiveness. There is no direct evidence that I can quote for you, just a collection of memories from reading over the years and a passing interest in genetics and Irish history.

Just a reminder of what you actually said. The highlighted is what I took issue with.

[quote=“caoimhaoin, post: 802899, member: 273”]I made specific reference to what we are taught at school. Maybe you misread what I first said, you should go back and read it again. Every race I mentioned is mention in this and other articles and has genetically scientifically proven links ti the modern irish. Much of this flies in the face of alot of what we were taught in school. Yes I google that today, knowing I would find something as I have found similar in the past.

The article you posted said Irish are less Celtic than previously thought, and the genetic pool is little changed since the stone age. Therefore by the very article you posted we are NOT a very genetically mixed country.

@caoimhaoin

I realize you are pissed off that I haven’t been salivating at Limericks performance on Sunday and I don’t rate them as much as you’d like, but you have gone down the wrong track here.

How ever, we are in the age of information. As I read somewhere recently, in this day and age, ignorance is a choice.[/quote]

You have certainly chosen it. I sometimes think you forget what you are even arguing half way through.

They all follow the money thraw and there’s very little to be made in the amateur game compared to the pros so they don’t hang around,Larry merchant also said once that America doesn’t have any decent heavyweights anymore cause they’re all playing NFL

Interesting. I remember a guy switch from NFL to boxing an fought Lewis back in the day. He was majorly hyped and looked like a he-man. Lewis knocked him out without too much trouble I think.

I seem to remember reading something a few years back that said that the whole Celtic thing in Ireland, Scotland and Wales (and Cornwall) was a bit of a myth and that we’re pretty much the same genetically as the English.

That would explain the cap doffing to the Queen down in Cork so.

You highlight part of what I said, yet leave out the last part of the line.

We were taught in school that we were Celtic, with most people coming from Normandy or Gallic lands. Then we got mixed with Normans and Vikings along the way. This is clearly only a little bit of what we are. I showed you one article I found at the top of one search showing reasonings for this, there are many others

The article points out several other races coming from all over Europe as part of our genetic make up. As mentioned we are far closer to the English than De Valera wanted us to think we were.

Now shut up. You are not right, you are wrong. You are wrong mostly because you didn’t know what I was even saying. And you are a stupid prick to justz go after me on such a thiNg just because I pointed out your hurling are decent, not great. The fact that you get support from 4 other limerick lads and Mac shows me all I need to know a out this farce of an argument.

Everyone of us Limerick supporters know we are far from great or the finished article. We’ve said it numerous times, go handy Kevin!

I think we limerick supporters are great but we are not the finished article yet it’s true, we have more improvement in is yet.

One or two games a year doesnt make you a supporter dickhead

That’s what ye are not getting, the article doesn’t have much more finishing in it. If ye had a host of new players that were not playing the past year or two then I’d say fine, we don’t know what they are capable of. But it’s pretty much the same bunch. They are better coached and believe in themselves. The top 5% & the 5% the coaching brings. So if we agree (and in fairness when you weigh up results in comparison it’s hard not to argue there is only a 10% improvement at the max) that they have improved by 10% then I think we are actually in agreement. History has shown this is probably as far as it goes.

Maybe not in your eyes dickhead, but all the national league games on a freezing, rainy Sunday, the minor, U21, Junior games, the club games, the U12 training sessions, the long drive to wherever Feile is on, the fund raising nights for the local club, the injuries, the overtime forfeited, attending training sessions and so on and so on, despite fuck all success, means that yes, two successful senior intercounty games as the cream, the reward for everything else that goes into, does make them supporters.

what the fuck are you on about?

fuck all people play hurling,absolutely fuck all. so all this bullshit about junior games is just that bullshit

fuck all people go to hurling. Limerick play about 8 games a year. the league crowds are abysmal, if they are in the qualifiers the crowds are abysmal. At best glasagusban goes to 3 or 4 games a year so his & the rest of the limerick fans claims of being diehard fans are pathetic

stick to the rugby league dickhead
