    The simple fact is we were arrogant and did not prepare correctly for this game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭the.red.baron


    Stop bellyaching on the ref

    They didn't show up at all, can't get the ball

    So what do you do, let's give it back to them all game


    If they win this and lose to Scotland well then

    Head to head? How will that work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,677 ✭✭✭munsterlegend


    Ref has been an utter joke. He shouldn’t be let near a rugby game never mind an Ireland match

    Can the use of the word Eire cop a ban?

    Anyone using it is not worth their place on the forum.

    All the refs fault of course // and the linesmen
    They haven't helped let's be honest...I think we would be ahead without such a horribly bad ref.

    Crappy kick...useless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭bigtimecharlie

    Lads there only so much you can blame the ref for.

    Ireland have been piss poor. That team should be doing a hell of a lot better than it is.

    You have no concept of the benefits of momentum and field position I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,173 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    Don't spend much time in here what's wrong with saying Eire?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,981 ✭✭✭Naggdefy


    Poor officiating.

    But we were always going to struggle in a game of this pace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,575 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    That's that for this world cup

    Nothing to do with it, getting destroyed. That commentator is some clown, fukn cheerleader


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,360 ✭✭✭beggars_bush


    Lads will probably blame Carty for that poor kick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 816 ✭✭✭Macdarack


    All the talk about playing the boks as a certainty after the group stage is coming to bite us in the hole.

    Can't blame the ref. Ireland are very poor.

    What's the context behind it? I obviously know what Éire means, but why are people using it to (presumably) wind-up others, and why does it wind-up others?

    Genuine question, I'm only a casual fan.

    We are poor but the ref is a contributing factor

    What the **** RTE?

    That's it done....f#cking useless

    Well that sums it up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,380 ✭✭✭STB.


    Suicidal stuff.

    Personally I've only ever seen "Eire" used as a slur by English people.
