Having seen the social media shots of Team Ireland in the holding area, I can safely say we wont win any fashion competitions with our baseball jackets, polo shirts and trackies. Could we not have stretched to a few blazers or sweaters?!

Penny's???

Irlande. Douze points

Arghus

That Georgian flag bearer was the first time George met a foreign sounding surname that didn't agree with him.

Mr.Nice Guy

I hope Bob Geldof wasn't watching, he'd be appalled by their attire.

Oops69

crap outfits , oh well what can you expect with hickey in place and it aint gonna change with the next guy either.

mansize

Time for Zzz

Mr.Nice Guy

All that expectation and it was over in seconds. Bit like my love life.

Night folks.

Larbre34

Aye, the Liffey Boardwalk look for Equipe Irlandais. Morto.

Really lads, considering so few of the team were even able to make the opening ceremony, a few blazers and slacks/skirts wouldnt have killed the budget in our centenary year of sorts.

Look at what Indonesia did!

he'd be cheering for GB anyway.

timthumbni

So Indonesia has 256 million people and also like Bangladesh only has a proverbial handful of athletes????

It seems that like everything money means more than talent often.

See paddy Barnes is leading youse. I heard he gets straight into the quarter final. Surely that couldn't be right?

Ireland are the worst dressed Olympic team in history!
Countries with the GDP of Longford came out in top-to-toe stylist gear/national dress. We looked like skangers
