Been so angray at a game that i've smashed up a piece of equipment that i've worked hard for and paid good money for?? Nah, i'm not that fcukin dumb

BillyMitchel · 26-01-2014 11:10PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:15PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:15PM

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

J_E · 26-01-2014 11:16PM

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

CrabRevolution · 26-01-2014 11:18PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:21PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:22PM

Usually just silent devastation

Lapin · 26-01-2014 11:25PM

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

Witchie · 26-01-2014 11:30PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:38PM

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.

Toots · 26-01-2014 11:39PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:45PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:48PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:51PM

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

Same but I take your Liverpool and raise you to Blackburn

That said im kind of immune to losing now- and iv never gotten angry or very upset

tacofries · 26-01-2014 11:52PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:55PM

Pretty much any time England has lost at Penalties.

furiousox · 26-01-2014 11:56PM

Every two years or so then?

SeaFields · 26-01-2014 11:56PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:57PM

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

racso1975 · 26-01-2014 11:57PM

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 · 26-01-2014 11:58PM

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.
