The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Myles Na G.]

womens sport can only ever hope to be seem as equal when the critics start calling it as it is .
For a team with so much hype behind them  this was an embarresing defeat. the fell apart in the worst way possible for a team who were stealing Line out all around them up till this match  to see them incapable of winning their own ball was as sure a sign of a choke as youll ever get ,
but from  the critics all your going to hear is what  bunch of heroines

I think you're being a bit harsh. England were all over Ireland like a rash and when teams are under that sort of pressure, they start making mistakes. Ireland were out muscled, pure and simple.

So the "irish" ladies lost an imperial sport. big deal.

[AZOffaly]

Why the quotes around 'Irish'?

[Hardy]

And what, in the name of all that's surreal, is an "imperial" sport?

[AZOffaly]

I presume a sport which is of the Empire. Erstwhile known as the 'Garrison games'.

[Hardy]

I suppose so. Does that mean 'Sergeant Pepper's' is imperial music?

[AZOffaly]

Evidently.

And golf

Golf was invented by the Brits. We need to stop playing golf and make sure that no GAA club has a golf outing. To do otherwise would be giving in to imperialism.

Imperious, Hardy.

The unionists with whom I travel to matches are perfectly happy with Irish, no inverted commas. It's 'Gaels' like yourself who get all uptight in your attempts to decide who's a wizard and who's a mud blood.

It's not me who can't decide what I am....you lot are having protests about flegs at Belfast City hall and then on certain days can't sing Amhrán na bhFiann quick enough?

I look forward to the devolution vote since your pals are so keen
