I note you havenât debated the point. Thatâs exceedingly weak debating. I will make an allowance that youâre experiencing a state of bizarre, paranoid euphoria that means youâre not fully in control of your brain at the moment, but even still, thatâs very, very poor.
Honey.
Iâm not hurting particularly badly, pal. Iâm mildly disappointed that Ireland lost.
Iâm just amused at how you and @Rocko have placed so much importance on the outcome of a rugby match, given how much you proclaim to hate the game.
I hate the game. I am taking enjoyment at its standing in this country taking a battering. Itâs a great feeling when a marginalised sector comes out on top.
On the one hand you constantly go on about how nobody plays rugby - So surely rugby is the marginalised sector, going by your own criteria?
On the other hand you have a problem with the massive attendances and viewership it pulls in, yet have no problem if the Eire team does similar.
Then, even more bizarrely, you and other Eire fans constantly ridicule the league that most of the Eire players play in, yet have a big problem if the international team they play for is ridiculed.
Would you have a problem if people decided to gloat at, say, Robbie Keane breaking his leg in three places?
Aw, honey, youâve gone all quiet, now, huh?
no just a very simple way of making you look stupid
In fairness, you must be as strong as an ox moving those goal posts around all the time.
its called hypocrisy, an All-Ireland trait, but particularly strong in the 6 counties.
Yes, nobody plays rugby but a high proportion seem to have a positive interest in it - casual, genuine or feigned.I would be ambivalent to rugby, much like I am to cricket, only for it is shoved down your throat at every opportunity today.
I ridicule the league they play in as what they get out of it after the investment in it is pitiful. Ireland is definitely stunted as a footballing nation as most of our players leave for there in their early teens.
However the national team more than holds its own as a small fish in a huge pond. I think we have definitely overachieved as a team in the last 7/8 years. We will do well to get past Bosnia but Iâd give us a good shout.
You donât have the intelligence to ever make me look stupid. You possibly may have the delusion to convince yourself that you do however.
This is a joyous celebration, not a debate.
What I see there is a lot of confusion about what it is youâre angry about.
Why do you pick Brian Smith?
Anybody know where John Aldridgeâs grandmother was from?
Iâll accept answers for both maternal and paternal grandmothers.
Hint: Neither grandmother was from Ireland. Or grandfather, for that matter.
Iâm happy, mate. The West Brits got smashed yesterday.
So if the Irish rugby team are West Brits, that makes the Eire team actual Brits, doesnât it?
Doesnât it?
Doesnât it?
when Ireland lost to Poland the guy beside me at works analysis was that Ireland were disgraceful
his analysis of yesterday was that they came up against a great team
Iâm sorry you have to sit beside such a horrible cunt mate.
No.
You havenât been paying attention.
