Olympics 2016

Whats Behan connection to Ireland? Is it his parents?

It says a lot about our own sporting structures that 4 of our individual representatives had absolutely no involvement in any underage sport in Ireland

Rower - Raised in Latvia
Behan - Raised in England
Martin - Raised in England
Roche - Raised in France (I think)

Pole vaulter and swimmer from USA

Ireland is a multi-cultural country and we have a huge diaspora.

Trust you to try and put a negative spin on this.

Itā€™s a damning indictment of our underage coaching and facilities is what it is. Community games just arenā€™t delivering!

Shur we fucked up Mosney, what did we expect?!!!

The Euros or the World Cup?

Irelandā€™s premier underage athletes housed in a chalet with no toilet and infested with bed bugs and ants. Best craic of the summer though.

Sad to see you using the Olympics as a vehicle to spew out your xenophobia.
