IRA vs Taliban - Who would win

[qub la la la]

does it count as a win if the ira gains 81.25% of the battlefield?

[Square Ball]

that was a shocker of a programme indeed, but funny as well

I for one found it very informative, never knew that black widow catapult could come in handy if the Taleban decide to attack with rpg's and ak47's 

Did anyone notice the state of the art computer simulation programme was an excel workbook?

I was watching Charlie Brooker's You Have Been Watching on Channel 4 tonight. Basically a comedical look at television, with a panel of celebrities. Tonight one of the shows they were talking about was Deadliest Warriors and having a right old laugh about it. They then showed several fights and asked the panel to vote on who they picked would win. To my surprise, they showed The IRA v The Taliban. Two of the celebrities said The Tabiban, but Rufus Hound said he was keeping it British and voting for The IRA! 

I expect a few complaints tomorrow though.

Season 2 started last night – but as a preface they brought back all the season 1 winners to find out who the overall champion was

Split into Ancient Warriors and Modern Day Warriors

Ancient Warriors final was Spartan vs Samurai

Modern Warriors final was The Russian Spetsnaz vs the IRA


It was the most one-sided battle of all so far – with the Spetsnaz winning over 75% of all the simulated "battles"

They gave the IRA two more weapons because in Season one the Spetsnaz had 6 and the IRA only had four - they gave them a Webley revolver and the HK G3 Sniper rifle

The Taleban are still undefeated

so is the IRA

The IRA lost the civil war or was that a challenge match and not counted?

In house chanllenge match   forwards against backs   doesn't count   

So we part of the team now are we

Was this ever televised on bravo? Seen almost every other episode, but never this one.

HS, the few episodes i seen had "experts" explaining why one side would win, like in the Spartan one some eejit was trying to explain why a spear was better than a sword, and that sort of crap. Is it in the same in this episode? That's the part I want to see.
