TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

Who Cares?!
A bit of trivia from today's Star, Jayo has scored in all of his debuts in Senior football, Bray, Shels and now Cardiff!
Who Cares?!
Should Shels supporters stop supporting Shels because the board is corrupt? If you're Irish, patriotic and a football fan you'll support Ireland no matter who's on the board. I'd actually watch Ireland play cricket if they were on telly.
Anyway, I was joking in my first post. A lot of EL don't like to use the Ireland forum to discuss ex-LOI players.
I don't support the national team for a number of reasons and can't see how that should be used as a measure of how patriotic I am
I just find it strange that you could be an extremely patriotic person and not support your country in the world's most popular sport. My patriotism comes from my father who would have been proud if someone found a bloody Irish rock in Australia.I hardly know the rules of rugby but I still had to stop watching England v Ireland a few years back with palpitations.
There's absolutely no way anyone could stop me supporting Ireland in the sport my life revolves around.I doubt there's any huge rugby fans from Limerick that don't support Munster. No matter who was in charge or if half the team were foreigners they'd still support them. I just can't understand a patriotic Irish football supporter who doesn't support Ireland.
Apologies for bringing this thread off topic. Carry on...![]()

You're seriously stating that as an Irish man & a football fan that you don't follow the national team?
That takes the phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your own face" to a new level!
And you ask me to help you??!! Man is evil!!!! Capable of nothing but destruction!
Yup, olé, olé, olé..........
Trust me, going to Lansdowne, or worse Croke Park, to sit beside uneducated Liverpool, Celtic and Utd fans in polyester football jerseys is a fate way worse than merely losing a nose.
And yes, I'm a pure unadulterated football snob with a nauseatingly superior attitude to 90% of the fans of the national team.![]()

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
If supporting your team meant you had to agree or like with everybody else who supported the team , there would be no football supporters left. There are ********s who go to every team in the world.
In Trap we trust
I think it's a bit dangerous to presume that because someone pulls on a green jersey, you automatically have to "support" them. I do follow the National team, but I feel we should all reserve the right to be critical of what we see. I think a lot of EL supporters would just like to see more ordinary Irish people, or residents, take more of an interest in what goes on in ordinary Irish towns. Anyway, I hope Jason Byrne does great in Cardiff, and good luck to him...
The loss is yours I am afraid. Is the English team the FA Team or the Scottish team the SFA team? No. The national team belongs to the people: the hard core fans, the casual fans, the ole ole fans: just about like every team in the world. To miss out on going abroad to far flung places and singing your national anthem in front of thousands of foeigners is such a thrill and gives you such a great sense of national identity. Because the team is run by people you don't like or deem are incompetent or has supporters who irritate you is not a good reason in my opinion. Like it or not the international team also puts whatever money is available in to the grass roots. If there was no international team there would be no money to put in to the local league: fact.
Jebus, what don't you follow Ireland? You following Sheffield Wednesday, a club which has been mismanaged for the past 15 years or more?
I follow all our national teams at whatever sport and numerous club sides like Rovers and Wednesday. Just because you're passionate about one, doesn't mean you have to exclude all others.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
