Also over the top reaction and hyperbole about the "stunning" win against NZ last weekend. Hypocrisy much.

But i accept your point that we're too fond of clapping ourselves on the back about a lot of things. Great little country crap. My problem this evening was the programme was boring and full of cliche. I was probably expecting too much. And i follow all sports i'd highly rate the Ireland's draw in Russia and Richard Dunne's performance that night in the euro 2012 qualifiers. I'd admire the Kilkenny hurling team of the noughties etc.

Dr Crayfish wrote: » When you think Ireland had the muster to draw away to the world champs and beat them at home in football, in tournament football when it was required, it makes you wonder how Ireland lost for over a century to NZ in rugby. I know it's a different sport but our footballers are terrible compared to Germany whereas I keep hearing about all the world class rugby players we have. We don't even have one world class footballer right now but we can take a superpower head every few years.
