The abuse about Ireland appeared on bigfooty and the other linked website. As someone said you'd like to think its just kids. Noticed similar stuff around the time of the international rules.

I've often wondered did australians pro-create by growing turnips in a field. That thread would suggest that theory is correct. Spent time over there , most of the blokes are long on mouth and short of a few brain cells. Probably the dumbest race of people I ever bumped into.
Lovely people.

I've no problem with people slagging Ireland if they do it well, but "back to the potato farm" is just an embarrassing attempt.
How dumb does someone actually have to be to say something like that? Cheesy

I wonder do they actually think we all have our own little self sustaining potato farms?? Spuds for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Pathetic wind up... I would love to get in a good slanging match with these ones, you can tell from their posts that you could just rip them to shreds easily!

I eat spuds for lunch and dinner some days

i wonder do the many of them realise they are descended from those so called potato farms  ::)

I thought so too, but Mickey has said he hasn't ruled him out a place on the panel for the NFL. Too soon if you ask me, but sure Mickey knows best.

Credit where it's due lads. 

Kyle probably logged onto the GAA board everyday in Oz and felt duty bound to fulfil my prophesy stated in the title of this thread  ;)

What a bunch of absolute pricks on that site. Now I don't know much about aussie rules but has Tadgh not been a brilliant servant to the Swans?? And here these so called fans are slagging off his country, saying back to the potato farm? What a brilliant slag by the way  ::)

Just confirmed what I had always thought secretly about most australians. Why cant they all be like Drew Kirk.

Dead?

Sydney Swans star Tadhg Kennelly believes fellow Irishman Kyle Coney could still return to Australia and resume his AFL career after failing to come back to the club following the Christmas break.


The Tyrone minor star returned to Ireland for Christmas after spending six weeks training with the Swans after signing a two-year rookie contract in November.


Having played with his club, Ardboe O'Donovan Rossa, while at home he chose not to return to Australia at the beginning of January and his future with the club now looks in serious doubt.


However, Kerry native Kennelly insists that Coney could return to the AFL side. Speaking to realfooty.com.au, he said: 'We're still trying to get him back out here, it's not clear cut yet that he's not going to come back. He's indicated he's still thinking about it, so we're still working on it.


'I know it's so hard for an 18-year-old to be on the other side of the world for so long and the thing with Kyle, he'd have a lot of people trying to convince him to stay, and do this and do that, because he's probably the best Gaelic football player in Ireland.


'He was fantastic last year in the Under-18s. He's the next big thing, so why wouldn't they try their best to keep him there?'


The 27-year-old added: 'I haven't spoken with him, I will just leave it to the club. I don't want to sway him either way, and he'll buzz me himself when he's ready. I don't want to step on his toes.'


'I know what it's like, it's that time of the year, and you're with your family and friends, and I remember when it was hard for me to come back when I was in Kyle's situation quite a few years ago,' Kennelly said.


Speaking to RTÉ earlier this month, Coney revealed: 'I'm staying in Ireland for the time being. I was scheduled to go back on 2 January but the time came to make a decision and I decided not to go back. I weighed up my options when I was in Australia. Now I want to keep my options open and I want to be playing football for Ardboe and Tyrone.'

Has Kennelly become Irelands official spokesperson in Austraillia or is it due to lack of options we always get his opinion on these matters?

Is he not the Irish ambassador over there, working on behalf of the country and Jack O'Connor ?
