There is a real neediness in that article. He seems annoyed the end of season rugby tour is an irrelevance during the World Cup.
The Ireland rugby team are flying the flag on the international stage with Eire and Ireland absent (as they invariably always are) from the soccer World Cup.
What flag are they flying?
The rugby flag
Dominating the sports pages today, despite being locked away on pay tv while RTÉ spends more public money on overseas non Irish events.
There’s a reason the newspaper industry is dying.
Meaningless friendly? The Lansdowne Cup is on the line. Typically ill informed rant from one of the rugby hating soccer types.
There was a skip load of posters watching and commenting on it here yday and another 20 or so who watched it but wouldn’t be seen to be watching it. Not to mention the 30 or 40 lads who cant afford sky sports and listened to it
I watched it as it is my duty as leader of the Anti Schmidt brigade to do so. I take this role very seriously.
We will prevail.
The Eire soccer types are forever going on about the Ireland rugby team trophy cabinet. Is it just the Six Nations Championship, the Triple Crown, the Millennium Trophy, the Centenary Quaich and the Lansdowne Cup that have been won in the last twelve months? Not to mention to Admiral Brown Cup which was won at the last time of asking as well.
Dominated here yesterday as well.
The Eire soccer team won that icelanndic tournament under Jackie charlton in the late 80s and they also won the harry ramsdens fish shop challange in 1992.
The Eire soccer types were all nostalgic last week celebrating the 30th anniversary of what was apparently their greatest ever moment. A starting Eire team of 6 lads from England and 1 from Scotland winning the game which decided which of the two teams that got eliminated in the group stages finished 3rd in the group.
I saw that. One of the ground football fans said to another that it kick started the Celtic Tiger. I cringed so bad I pulled a muscle. Poor deluded working class bastards
They were all harking back fondly to their “are ya alrite Sharon” bit of surprise sex.
they kickstarted it
you destroyed it giving approval for that apartment complex in manorhamilton
we won the 4 nations too mate
Them English never shut up about 1966 .
This may have been a complication from your facial reconstruction. Be careful.
A crowd of work shy, legal aid types in Gemany on their benefits claiming the credit for kick starting the Celtic Tiger.
