why don't they play football?
They literally just lost to germany
>>155723368the ivory coast play tomorrow
>>155723368More of a hurling nation innit?
they need to learn how to fish first.
they do, but got mixed with handegg and rugby along the way
I was unironically cheering them on in 1994 mostly because of John Sheridan but i always loved McGrath and Dennis Irwin at club level, i still remember Ray Houghton's goal against Italy being one of the most early kino moments along with Hagi and Maradonna. Cant remember which game it was but there some funny touchline stuff involving Jack Charlton and John Aldridge, might have been the mexico game. >During the game, members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a loyalist paramilitary group, burst into a pub in Northern Ireland with assault rifles and fired on the customers, killing six civilians and wounding five. The pub was targeted because it was frequented mainly by Catholics, and was crowded with supporters watching the Republic of Ireland. It is thus sometimes called the "World Cup massacre" or the Loughinisland massacre.jfc id forgot about that, grim stuff
>>155723368We do. I hope Scotland beats your arses, time for Jock Bonita
>>155723958Scotland winning by 5 goals is my dream
not really a big sport here with a shambolic administration and infrastructure the fact we're as good as we are is a miracle really
>>155723368They play Gaelic Football and HurlingLook it up if you wanna see the dumbest sports ever
They do, literally every player thats ever been called up to England is actually Irish (ALL Irish people genuinely believe this).
Why did he do it?

>>155725263Your dick is too small you’ll never satisfy her
>>155725166All the good ones
>>155725190Because he figured he could get away with it and he did. Neither the linesmen or referee spotted it, it went through and was allowed. Same rules as applied to everyone else. Do you think an Irish player wouldn't have done the same thing? It's frankly embarrassing how much of a deal Ireland made of it. We got knocked out, tough shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOhn6eO3Wds
>>155728631I don’t think an Irish player would do that, and if I’m wrong and one did I think he’d be denounced for it
Why? Isn't today's moralizing fake and pretentious enough as it is without inventing new ways to do it? Why rely on some kind of "honour system", why not rely on those officiating and later var? Every Irish player dives, every one will tug at a jersey. It's expected and part of the game. All of that is against the rules of the game. Henry got the ball in, the referee didn't spot it, end of story.
they're unironically one of the top rugby nations these days
>>155725427True she's BBC only
>>155729773Soccer culture isn’t our predominant sporting culture, the GAA is and it’s amateur and does have an inherent unwritten honour code. So alright plenty of people wouldn’t care if we qualified in such a dishonourable manner but most people would and the sentiment would be we don’t deserve to be there
>>155724059Incredibly sovlful. Need to gatekeep this sport from chicanos and ngubus.
>>155730370We’re already busy gatekeeping it hard from racist fuckheads
>>155724059>ball is a volleyball>carrying the ball with hands>played on grass>wearing gloves and shoes that appear close to be football boots>opponents playing for the same teamwhat in monstrosity is this
>>155728631>>155729773>>155730263>>155730507You need help
>>155730263Why are you bringing up the GAA? How are they in any way related to this discussion? Just fuck off retard.
>>155724474That's horrible.
>>155724474/pol/ thinks these guys are saving the white race kek
>>155731868traitors are worse than enemies
>>155730663I literally already explained why I brought it up
>>155725090>hurlingthey made hangovers a sport?
>>155731022Yeah the troubles were grim, i lived in the norf and they saw action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUl2ye6sPG8 and i remember the rumours were Sheffield given its irish diaspora would be spared, but there were other rumours its new shopping precinct might be targeted. The horrible thing i remember from 94 though was the columbians killing Escobar who scored an og against US, different times to some extent
They all play for England because it's genetically encoded in them to serve their English overlords.
>>155723368They would have been so insufferable in America.
>>155732102who do you mean by traitors?
>>155729985they must have played in many RWC semifinals
