BillyMitchel

Yes. When Ruud Guillet scored against Ireland. Italia 90 I think.

Maybe when OGS scored the winner against Munich too but I was probably twisted.

Well, that showed him.

I cried when Ireland beat Australia in the RWC

biko

Nope, I've been sad that we lost but hey - there's always next time.

Ive never been so dumb to spell angry "angray"

SimonLynch

Shed a sly tear when Rovers won the league back in the 90s, combination of rage and happiness.

Last time I flung something of worth against the wall in anger was my Sega Mega Drive controller when I was about 5.

Not even that much of a Rugby fan, but when I was 13 or 14 I remember being utterly furious and distraught when one of the French players scored the final try required for them to overtake Ireland on score difference for the 6 Nations. It was the last play of the last game and had to be called to a video ref and all.

Was probably just youth, but even in all the matches I've played or watched in hurling/football/soccer/rugby I have never been as angry at anything as much as I was at that.

Don't think I cried but I remember feeling very deflated at half time during the Heineken Cup final in Cardiff in 2011 (this deflation may or may not have been amplified by the quantity of beer that I consumed prior to that point mind).

Kev_2012

I got really angry when arsenal were losing 8-2 to united. Nearly got kicked out of the pub and wasnt even drinking!

Ireland vs nz in the rugby I got really pissed off because they scored in the last play and also Munster getting whacked by Leinster in 2009 semi final which I was at. I don't often get annoyed but sport changes everything!

GLaDOS

Usually just silent devastation

As a lifelong follower of Galway Hurling, Liverpool FC and Connacht Rugby I tick all the above boxes.

Witchie

Many times but am a blubbering mess when we used to win big games and an angry upset clown when we lost.

Dirty Dingus McGee

2005 first round of the Leinster championship. Offaly were all over Laois for the whole match but kicked 19 wides in total and about half way through the second half you could get the feeling Laois were going to sneak a win.Ross Munnelly scores a scuttery goal with about a minute left to give Laois the lead and Offaly lose despite being the better team by miles.I never was so upset at a match as I was then.

I've been angry at football matches loads of times, mainly because I hate football and we've only got one TV so if my hubby is insisting on watching a match I'll have to suffer through it aswell.

greenflash

When say "at a sporting event" you mean "watching on tv" yeah?

Been angry thousands of times but never cried. Laughed a lot when Henry's adroit touch put John Delaney's team out of the World Cup.

galwaylad14

As a Galway hurling fan I've experienced every sort of heart wrenching,devastating emotion it's possible for any sports fan to have. At one stage a couple of years ago it seemed like they used to take it upon themselves to get knocked out of the championship in an increasingly heartbreaking way. Cork 08, Waterford 09 and Tipp in 10 all spring to mind. Thankfully in recent years our exits from the Championship have been comprehensive defeats which is always easier to take as you can just accept you were beaten by the better side on the day.

Henry's handball was another hard one to take as was the recent defeat to the All Blacks in the rugby

artanevilla

Far too many times to admit to and still be considered sane.

Mayo vs Donegal 2012 when the Hills of Donegal was played and gold ribbon was shot from the sky.. I thought 'if only it was us' ... Tiocaidh ar la!!

Mint Sauce

Pretty much any time England has lost at Penalties.

furiousox

Every two years or so then?

SeaFields

In retrospect we didn't deserve it but when clare equalised against us in the first all Ireland hurling final this year, there were expletives that I produced that would have humbled Satan himself!

shanec1928

Yep when rovers lost the final to fingal in 09 and then when we won the league in 12

racso1975

When Ireland just recently lost to the All Blacks.....The anger reminded me of the time we let campese score a last minute try in 91 worldcup

thebuzz

Most Irish people aren't proper fans of any sport, just whatever bandwagon is going at a particular time. So most won't feel enough of a connection ("supporting" British football teams etc.) to get that emotional about it.

To answer your question though OP, I have.

Did you take Keane's advice and send Fifa an email?

SugarShane88

I repeatedly punched a marble fireplace after Birmingham nicked the league cup over Arsenal three years ago to the point where my hand was numb.

By the time I had finished the place looked like a crime scene due to the blood - and perhaps it's apt because IT WAS A F*CKING ROBBERY.

Sorry I still haven't recovered. Football, eh.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

I was really angry after Henry's handball. Completely sickened.

The closest I came to tears was when France were awarded a controversial late try against Scotland in 2007 to deny Ireland the Six Nations that year.

Actually, I cried when Schillaci scored against Ireland at Italia '90, but I'm not counting that because I was 5 :pac:

When Robbie keane scored against Germany in 02world cup I cried tears of joy.....

anncoates

When ronaldo went to Madrid because I already supported united and Barcelona so I was raging I'd have to support Madrid as well.

Ireland losing to the All Blacks, I still struggle to watch it!

A Liverpool follower here so anger and disappointment boxes ticked, and I'm from Mayo so obviously witnessed a few angry croke park moments, ah Mayo, when will we ever win it.

Iniesta's equaliser at the bridge in that scandalous disgrace of a "game" in 2009 .... worst sporting moment of my life ... I was in tears the next day ...

We got our revenge tho ... oh yes ....

Think I know the French game you're on about. Felt sick after that. Was it Clerc that scored?

Are you related to him??

donfers

sad and angry loads of times, two that stand out as the lowest of the low are obvious

henry handball: really angry

NZ last play try: sad/gutted/devastated

it's only sport yes but it still hurts

sinead88

I actually have. At the last Olympics I was ridiculously emotional, which is weird because I genuinely never cry at any movie even, well unless an animal dies, in which case I'm inconsolable. Basically anytime anybody got a medal I was a wreck! It might have something to do with living in Scotland where it was covered 24/7. Also I was in Krakow for the Wimbledon final last year. We went to an Irish bar and were very disapproving of a really loud stag do until we had a few drinks and joined them in drunken loudness. Actually sobbed with happiness when Andy Murray won. Shameful!

Ah yeah the day he was from britain.

Definitely teared up at the end of ireland's defeat to Italy in 1990. Not really because we lost but it was probably the crescendo of emotion of being proud of getting so far and also admiration at the team and supporters being so gracious in defeat.

Spunge

I always found the highs and lows people get from watching sports to be so strange. I hate when Ireland are playing in the world cup coz everyone gets super emotional and i just dont get it. If i had a choice id love to be able to get those highs/lows from merely watching some sporting event, my brain just doesnt get it.
