WTF is wrong with Irish Sport ?Mens Soccer they fall at the last .Womens Soccer lose by an Own Goal backpass .Rugby get a Chance to win the 6 nations and they play the worst they have played in years .

It seems to be an Irish thing to fuck up .The Womens soccer they lost the game with an own goal backpass from outside the box then missed a pen .Last night the Rugby team made Schoolboy errors .Irish sport seems to be in a bad place .For the Amount of Professional Golfers we had playing we were the best country pro rata for winning majors .Think our next Soccer Match is a FRIENDLY against England that will be good for moral if we take another thumping .

Big Dommos uncle owns Ships he still lives in the flats has never been outside Ireland but his ships are registered in Bermuda .The 3 IRISH Internationals are British born they are British they like big Dommos Uncles Ships just used Ireland as a flag of convenience as youth players to help their careers .Tony Grelish qualified on the Granny Rule .Look at the English Cricket team more foreign born players in that team than a Jack Charlton team ..Rep of Ireland Soccer team cant even attract English Championship players to sign for us now until the Brexit shit is sorted Players wont know about work visas if they dont hold a UK passport

I had 50@13/8 upgraded Price with Powers -1
         50@4/1 ,,, ,,  ,,   ,,  ,,  ,,  ,,  ,,  ,,  , -2
Then 4  5ers 5-0 6-0 7-0 8-0

Really I think we are Shite worst Irish Side I have ever seen .No strikers no defenders no midfield .There will be an edge to this with Rice and Grealish trying to Prove a point so dont see it as a friendly .Cant see it turning out any way good for us .

Commentator was priceless Big Dommo nearly swallowed his false teath Coughed up a gobfull of Cheap Lidil Cider all over the Peanuts on the table we had to wash them before we could finish eating them .Commentator says when Ireland make a double substitution We are bringing on a bit of pace and class .For fuck sake we didnt possess Pace or Class in the starting 11 so what were these two Giants of the game doing on the subs bench .That team was so bad one player actually had and played with Covid and nobody noticed ..Then our Genius of a Commentator says Idou or whatever his name is .Played great he is the future of this side a striker who didnt have a shot played great .Lucky he dosent do racing commentary ."He was running a great race until he fell at the first but Im going to back him for the Derby based on that run" .

You got to wonder if Martin O Neill had some sort of Republican Sympathies .Why he didnt rush to Cap Rice and Grealish just to make sure they were branded Irish .Irish Footballers need to Cop the Fuck on. To many young players think that only the English League matters .I cant remember any young Irish Players signing for German.Dutch or Spanish teams .Just look at how Poor the English Players really are more than half of the Premier league players are Non British but still ort top young players cant get a start with English Clubs .Think what we are seeing now is the result of Sky TV and the Premier Leagues need for immediate success ,no time or money to be spent on developing players just look all over the World for good players and buy them .I think a lot of Players are not interested in playing International football for second rate National sides giving up their international break time to get beaten instead of a few days holiday with her and the kids .Irish Soccer like our Boxing team both punched well above their weight for a long time but now are really operating up to their handicap mark as also rans .

Coola we saw how it works Grealish and Rice were happy to play for Ireland under age as they could be touted around by their agents as international footballers but as soon as they sign professional contracts that changes .The agent now says listen no sense in being an International player with a second rate country that decreases your value on the transfer market .Not just in Football If you have a Derby Winner trained by Aiden O Brien his stud Fee will be higher than if he was trained by billy no name even though he won the same race .Footballers are commodities to be traded they are a brand .Look at Grealish he was being priced at around 25 million during the Summer playing for a poor Villa Team now he has played for England and Villa are winning a few games his value when he goes to UTd or Arsenal or City will be 70 Million and he can expect to triple his wages .If he was playing in that Irish side then his value would be based on how well Villa do knock billions off his value and wage packet .Its not Sport anymore its Sports Entertainment based around money .
