Irish rugby team biggest bottlers in sporting history

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:30 am

Our team on paper is easily one of the best in the world yet when we are favourites we come and play like utter Poopie. Playing the best we have since 09 we get given the favourites tag and give a performance that is not even 10% of what we are capable of against a team who failed to beat a SA playing as poorly as they could and despite the scoreboard easily beaten by an Aus team we took apart

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:32 am

Poor wum. Must try harder. C-.

Yawn.

Welcome back F+O+H!

by Boyne Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:36 am

Hmmm, I disagree. We just don't have a great rugby team. Not bad, not great.

Won't stop me following them though!! Then again, I played rugby since I was 5 (retired this year) and still remember Olivier Roumat and Smokin Joe Stanley.

F O H, stick to the soccerball. Good chap.

Unless he is suggesting that as a second job the Irish rugby team are working down in the Guinness bottling plant.....

This guy could just be the smartest poster ever... chin

Who is wumming the rugby team are an embarrassment to Ireland at least with the footie you know there Poopie but you know they will play to there capability however low that is

by Boyne Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:40 am

There = As in over "there"
They are = verb

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:40 am

However much they are hyped we played to 10% of our ability against side who struggled to beat Samoa and easily beat by Aus there is no excusing that

Thought you said Ferris, O'Brien and Heaslip were going to dominate Lyidate, Warburton and Faletau? What was the outcome again? laughing

When was the last time your lot beat a SH side in the SH ect ect blah blah blah

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:55 am

Mor I thought we had moved past our amazing 10% performances sadly I was wrong but despite that if we had finished 10% of the chances we had in that game we would have which does not say much about this ' AMAZING' Welsh team

To be fair there was two thirds of the all conquering Leinster backrow paired with a top class bindside flanker. There was cause for optimism, unfortunatley for Ireland the extremely well organised Welsh defence cut them down repeatedly. Ireland were left with no momentum and couldn't keep the score board ticking. An enthralling game for the neutral (cheers!).

Is 10% the new 10%?

Really wish we still had the facepalm smiley!!!

by ME-109 Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:01 am

Thats a big 10%...

by Morgannwg Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:01 am

I bet you wish Ireland would play above 10% more often. That way you might have had more than two Grand Slams in the space of a 1000 years. Wink

Agree in full. Traitors every one. They should each lose one finger to punish insolence and disrespect for the motherland.

Er, no, 10% of the total number of digits max? warning

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:07 am

POC and Ferris the only men you know will rise above that 10% when it matters

by Morgannwg Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:07 am

Therein lies the problem. Ireland's players need to give 110% not just 10%.

To be fair, that wouldn't matter to SOB, he is the greatest player on the planet and can run through walls. Nobody can stop him, not even with steel reinforced concrete!!!

So there!

You need to be taught a lesson...

...in thermodynamics.

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:17 am

Sadly I think it would have been better to follow Wales lead and get outclassed by Aus at least that would have meant us playing above 50% vs SA

by ME-109 Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:19 am

Apparently the statistical average effort given by the players during the world cup was 83.625719844% (to 9 decimal places).

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:22 am

More like 8.3% shading on 6.4% vs Wales

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:25 am

Dod if u want to see 83% + effort watch the footie team rrise to the occasion in the euro qualifier next month

Thanks for sharing the results of your last cognitive capacity test.

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:32 am

Facepalm at that POOR attempt at humour DOD you sir are a FAIL and that I am a 100% sure of

Personally I think Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip is a Welsh wum trying to make us look a bit silly.

Thought we left this nonsense behind on the old 606.

by Morgannwg Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:01 am

WHy is it a welsh wum? To us it seems to be an Irish wum. Pretty sure an old ID of his was C'mon you Irish.

Cmon You Irish - was not Irish as every Irish poster on the board was at pains to point out at the time.

by Morgannwg Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:08 am

Well both of these idiots spouted the same rubbish before the World Cup, most of it aimed at Wales, and no other Irish poster disagreed with it.

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:11 am

Lol who is cmon you Irish sounds like my type of poster

Stop press...welshman starts fight for no reason.

Full story...a welsh poster today took offence where none existed and started a fight with other posters. "It was clear that no one was having a go at Welsh people" he said...."it just made me so angry so I had to do something".

by Morgannwg Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:14 am

It seems I was wrong then. Ferrs+O'Brien+Heaslip has made some valid points. DOD being a FAIL 100% was one of them. clap

by Ferris+O'Brien+Heaslip Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:20 am

Mor please can you stay on topic no need for insults im this thread thank you

by Morgannwg Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:25 am

Ferris O'Brien, could you and DOD please refrain from bringing old 606 nonsense onto V2.

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:38 am

Drop the bickering the 3 of you.
Ferris, you have mail.

Morgannwg... why are you continuing this nonsense. It was plainly obvious that nearly every Irish poster distanced themselves from the monosyllabic repetitive wind-ups that F+O+H posted?? Headscratch

Aha ha ha...funniest post all day Cool

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri Oct 28, 2011 11:32 am

Well I think this thread has about run it's course.

And for future reference, a red pen notice telling you to drop the bickering means just that, not "take another juvenile swipe".
