QuoteSurprised to see darts with so many votes. It has provided the world with the greatest commentator ever, O.k technically not part of the sport itself, but please...
For Sids sake?
Snooker
Billiards
Rugby
Darts
Grand Prix
Cricket
Horse Racing
GAA
Golf
Other
Most of the above
All of the above
How about BOWLING? Talk about a sport that ABSOLUTELY requires NO physical fitness.
And for our Canadian, Norweigan, and other Arctic friends, the vote goes for CURLING. What a waste of some absolutely good ice time!

danielle hantuchova's the tennis player, if its the one with the legs that go on and on that you're thinking of.
in terms of boring sports, i've got to go with anything equine, the only problem being in terms of classification. is horse racing actually a sport at all, its popularity is more to do with the gambling element than any sporting prowess being involved. so if you count horse racing, then thats it.
Formula 1 is leading, I'm appalled. What kind of sick weirdos are voting on this?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
God only knows. Probably Rovers fans who spend the whole race complaining about that lack of security feaetures in the car.Originally posted by Schumi
I voted for cricket. If you don't agree, read Douglas Adams.
You can't spell failure without FAI
yeah curling is the worst. Dunno why the Brits got so excited they won the most boring gold medal in either olyimpics...My floors r fairly dirrty tho, wonder what that teams doing this weekend...
GAA?? BORING?? Ahem how dare you! Hurling is one of the most skilful games ever. Bet ur from somewhere like Carlow or....em..Louth
Cricket is great to watch, England just make fools of themselves and lose all the time, its great.Rugby is Sh!te.Snooker and darts are a good relaxing watch.
Could the names of the people who voted for the GAA please be posted so i can kill them?
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
I'm not a fan of cricket and I don't care if England win or lose.Originally posted by pete
Got to be the nags - unless got money on a horse no point in watching.
Test Cricket *zzzzzzzzzz* although would watch some one day just to see England lose again.
Golf - First 3 days a waste & only watchable if rooting for someone.
Snooker pretty bad as well most of the time.
I definitely wouldn't watch it just to see them lose though - that mentality really annoys me.
Say Saddam bombs Dublin and kills 20,000 people.
Ten years later England play Iraq in a soccer match
I guarantee you that the majority of Irish people would be cheering on the Iraq team
my point being that Irish people have a inconsistent attitude towards England and will cheer on the opposition no matter who they are.
if you support an EL club and no-one else then you're entitled to hate the English national team. But if you support an English club and do the same then you're a f u c k i n g hypocrite.
I know people say they're still going on about 1966 etc.
But Celtic fans are still going on about being founded by Wilfred etc etc etc as if that makes them Irish and justifies legions of people here to support them.
As for Tim Henman and the way lots of Irish don't want him to win Wimbledon because of "the crowd/the media/the hype" remember this:
it's an English competition
he's an English player, their No 1
obviously they're going to hype up his chances - there would be something wrong if they didn't
surely that's a consisent attitudeOriginally posted by nlgbbbblth
......Irish people have a inconsistent attitude towards England and will cheer on the opposition no matter who they are.
I think it's sad that we have such a desire to see England do badly, moreso having personally experienced English people cheering Ireland on during the last World Cup.
Having said that, the reason the majority of us do dislike them has little to do with '900 years of oppresion' and more to do with the 'Bulldog spirit' that is perpetually shoved down our throats in their media.
England are incapable of winning football tournaments with the players they have yet the media treat success as a forgone conclusion when they qualify.
Henman will never (ever) win Wimbledon, despite their protestations.
The only team sport where they have a genuine chance of winning a world title is Rugby, and after Martin Johnson's crap last season no-one here is going to cheer them on.
I think the Irish are instinctively drawn to cheer for the underdog while the English media sets their sports stars up perennial favourites, and never the twain shall meet.
baseball is the world's most boring sport by the way, but as it wasn't on the list i went for horse racing!

Tiktok, you are show a clear lack of understanding or charity to our neighbors from over the sea - it's clearly American "Foot"ball that is the most dull of dull games, also sadly absent from the list.Originally posted by tiktok

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

To defend the mentioned Sports........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
This statement smacks of idiocy. Rugby is a fantastic sport.Originally posted by pineapple stu
The first is rugby for idiots,
To be fair, pineapple stu didn't say that rugby was played by idiots, if you read his post it says american football is 'rugby for idiots' implying it's a lesser sport than rugby.
personally i think american football is rugby for flabby sissies
fair pointOriginally posted by tiktok

Thank you tiktok!
Incidentally, I do hate rugby anyway though!
just had a look at the tread and i suppose i have a few points, hingis mmmmmmmmmmmmm, cricket zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, curling relaxing ???????
but really all sports are boring to me compared to skydiving, knowing that all that is stopping a person from hitting the ground at almost 130 mph is a thin piece of material makes it exciting, plus what can be done while falling 200 ft a second is amazing, get a video of it some time and you'll be hooked !!!!
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
