Ireland bowled England out for 85. Incoming bandwagon

I don't see this as a bad thing per se. If you told me two flies going up a wall and one is Irish I'd support it all the way.
I went to some sort of farming show before (no idea how I ended up there) but in a livestock competition there was a prize bull from Castlemartyr, in Cork. I let out a cheer when he won like an eejit.

Just seen this all over Twitter. Off to read the rules of cricket on wikipedia in order to spend an afternoon on the bandwagon.

I recall the Katie Taylor bandwagon being a right good one.

The day she won her Olympic gold medal I was on the beach and a few people had the fight blaring on radios near us. When it was announced that Taylor had won (probably by Jimmy Magee) there was massive applause around the beach.

It brought me back around 20 years when me and my friends were on the same beach one night and 2 girls were fighting over a naggin of vodka. There was massive applause the same night when one of them jumped on top of the other.

Limerick after the Gaa last year..

They all abandoned their Munster jerseys for the green and white..

We'd all like to be hardcore like you, continuing to attend matches in Thomond Park all through the summer. Players cannot even rise to that.

The 'Ruck it and Puck it' statue is on O'Connell St. for a reason.

Conor McGregor band wagon was just the most embarrassing "He's Ireland's greatest ever sports person!" said at 2.30am in a beer garden. As if.

Then seeing lads around wearing the suits, drinking his whiskey and the actual fights on the street that used to happen in and around his fights. In time people will realise how thick they were about it all.

In every other sport though I think it's nice that Irish people have collective pride in even the small acheivements in sports. It fosters, at times, a great collective spirit.

I've been a huge Irish cricket fan since earlier today.

While it's understandable the reasons for bandwagons in Irish sport small country lack of success etc the one that really annoys me is Irish rugby every time Ireland are playing pubs are full of **** in brand new jerseys talking ****e about coming in from the side or off your feet or other such nonsense but if you asked them to name an AIL team or even asked them what the AIL is they wouldn't have a scooby doo i'm dreading the rugby world cup as there'll be a plague of them around.

Plenty of people who have traditionally watched rugby have been mostly supporters of the national team during the 6N. Don’t see the necessity to know much about the AIL.

Stephen Roche and Sean Kelly.

I really couldn't care less about what others enjoy.

The one a few years ago when gareth brooks was supposed to be playing 5 gigs in croke park, no one had thought about him in 20 years yet it seemed everyone you knew was going for some reason.

The Ryder cup coming to Ireland 2026. You hve plenty of time to prepare for that bandwagon

A lot of rugby supporters are the definition of a bandwagon, especially among women folk!

Where else can they catch a cardiologist or barrister? Not down at the Rovers match in Tallaght. Might meet the barristers clients there though
