By best runners from Ireland you mean the fact she was born here, but moved to Australia in 2002 and didn't start running until 2010 and received all her high performance coaching & training in Australia. Probably not the best example...

Born and raised in Ireland, yes. She was well into her 20s when she left. You couldn’t be more Irish than her. And yet she has to run for Australia because of some ludicrous regulation despite her own wishes to run for Ireland. Ridiculous. Could only happen in Ireland. :rolleyes:

Different strands of " clever"

Rugby has extremely complicated rules, you would need to be a doctor or brilliant legal mind, doesn't mean the sport is all that much of a spectacle but it's not remotely simple like Gaelic football is

Jaysus, some of you lot have some serious chips on your shoulders. Should those of us with no interest in soccer condemn it as a game for knackers because our best player of living memory was a scumbag from Cork? Wouldn't seem fair fair to the likes of Niall Quinn.

Robbie Keane isn't from Cork....

Yes.




As you can see on this chart, the degenerate working classes, with their simian brows and thuggish instinct, lack the intellectual capacity to learn complex regulations and rules. Scofflaws and gutterboys have no place in the Sport of Lords.

The 'Irish' of Boards.ie or social networks.
Most real Irish are not a bit like them. I'm a long time living and a long time on social networks and even I am surprised by the vitriol, rage and warped jealousy crawling out of dark miserable places tbh.

It will go back in, in a while when it gets light, trust me.

Irish fans sang during the haka. Very common practice with other countries when the kiwis do their dance.

Genuinely don't mean to be insulting but are you moderately retarded.
What part of not the national anthem do we have to explain. Please tell me you do understand that the team that represents us is NOT the Irish Republic and never has been.

You should buy a basic spelling dictionary in Easons before embarrassing yourself on a public forum. I was going to point out the spelling error but I reckon you might get weeks of enjoyment trying to find it.
I'm sure Pat McDonagh of Supermacs agrees with you about how well the Grab All Association is organised.

FFS, what a stupid comparison. Italia 90 was a failure, so was The US and so was the Euro's.
Jack Charlton failed too. But we get it replayed as some sort of high point again and again.
Why? Because reaching the World QF's of that sport is an achievement for a country of this size.

And we all had colossal fun and managed to keep it in perspective and didn't lose our **** and dignity trying to troll the forum of a sport and people we clearly dislike. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Bitterness and bile about something else in your life. You might want to fix that.

Bitterness and bile? Think you're projecting there my friend.



Fact is, a world cup quarter final in a competition where the entire world takes part is a far greater achievement than a world cup quarter final where 10-15 countries take part. But, you know that.


Saturday's kicking will hurt for a while Francie but you'll pull through. Chin up.

If that were a competition with only 5 other contestants, 2 of which never have a hope of winning even Louis Walsh would end up sending a couple of winners.

You need to get out more young fella!

The majority of pro soccer beauts wouldn't last ten minutes in a rugby game. No comparison tbh.

BTW I enjoy soccer as much as the next man, it just would not fill me with anything other than the deepest despair to be on soccer forums after a team has a bad tournament having a go. Or any other sport's forums for that matter. The onslaught of pure bile after this QF is s a sight to behold.

It would be 'get a life' time for me.

Ok Francie. I seem to have annoyed you with things i didnt say. Best of luck in 4 years. That semi-final will happen someday. At least there's no qualification to worry about



As for the "wouldnt last ten minutes" comments - great stuff. Tough men. Mighty. Now add some ball skills and, crucially, some bottle to that toughness and maybe your lads wouldnt be getting humiliated on the biggest stage. Anyways, chin yup Francie

I enjoy watching rugby ( prefer soccer but watching rugby since I was nine) but still can't understand rules surrounding rucks, breakdown etc

I can recognise turnovers and the aftermath of rucks but the technical details i struggle with, doesn't really hinder my following the game but i sort of have to wait while many phases of a game sort themselves out

You haven't been watching the international soccer I have been watching this last while so.

The resources in players, and clubs we have in this country, and all we are famous for is paying it's chief executive obscene money and all the rest of the shame around that.

I will be watching rugby again this weekend and into the future. I am not one to lose my **** or drop my chin for long over a sport really. Some people might want to have a look at themselves in that regard.

Oh dear, Francie. I think you need to go back and read what was said by me. I think you got all mad and it has clouded your comprehension skills.



Laughing on your own at things that arent really all that amusing is quite worrying behaviour. My bet is you arent laughing at all but feel a need to portray serenity whilst boiling away.

Eh...it t'were thou who wanted a documentary on winning a WC qualifier.

Again, who is the 'mad' one?

My despair as I said, is that there are so many crawling out from dark abodes to have a go on the forums of a sport they seem to either not like, don't like the people who play or who enjoy it, or are jealous that it seems to get more coverage or more attention than their fav sport.

Sad really, and an indicator of lives not quite fulfilled.

None of the above is what was said. You do realise this is all within the last 2 or 3 pages on this thread? You do realise people will think you're a complete child if they take 10 seconds to check?


Lose the despair Francie. 4 more years and you can have another crack at the coveted semi finals. Let's face it, those were great wins against Scotland, Russia and Samoa. The team of us.
