    There'd be golds all round for the self-haters on boards if there was medals for it.

    There are people in this country who, if they won €185m on the Euromillions, would be moaning that it hadn't been rounded up to €200m.

    Dunno how it would impact Ireland since it only seems to happen in other countries.

    Ireland wins a gold medal, start a thread criticising the people attending.

    Cringe-fest? It's a just a chant.

    There's nothing offensive whatsoever about it. Just people chanting because they're happy and contributing to an atmosphere. Give me a crowd of people chanting ''olé olé'' instead of a miserable fúck who moans about people enjoying themselves.

    What exactly is the problem with "Olé olé olé?"

    Would you prefer people chanted something different?
    If so, what?

    Would you prefer if they didn't cheer?

    I was just asking someone how intimidated that Russian girl must have felt with all those Irish voices behind Katie.

    How could you lose with that much support? (unless you're the football team, we can only do so much, like...)

    When Irish people chant 'Ole Ole Ole' they're basically saying 'we don't know what else to say because we're fucking stupid.' At least that's what I hear. I mean, for Christ's sakes, couldn't they have chanted, 'KATIE! KATIE! KATIE!' or 'IRELAND! IRELAND! IRELAND!' No. 'Ole Ole Ole.'
