My reservations about nationalism aside, I'll be supporting anybody BUT GB (
just so long as they keep sending the £10Bn every year, eh Merv?.............( and support NI sports during covid outbreaks etc etc)
And paying for a state of the art stadium...over a year aul but worth a comment

You mean, qualified for the Paris Olympics by beating Great Britain....
Watched some of it, was at the European Games in Krakow.
So both the Ireland Men's and Women's sides have qualified for Paris, GB Women also. GB Men have one more chance at the final qualifying tournament next year.

Never get all the England bashing... Hypocritical Xenophobia. Given a team that supported Ireland during the troubles, supported a world cup bid and regularly shoot themselves in the foot in the Heiny etc.. what's not to like?

Yeah the English were very supportive during the troubles. They used to give out lead to civilians but got nothing but flak!! I remember one Sunday in particular. Ungrateful bastids.

Exactly what I meant! Never been a details sort of bloke.
By the way, baiting the English is a great pastime, alongside baiting the French, Welsh, Scots, Americans, Australians, Mexicans (the Irish ones), Turnips (again, the Irish ones) etc, in fact anyone towards whom we occasionally feel just a wee bit of (shhh, don't mention it) envy.
