Are we the team nobody cares about?

Dispite the sickening rte bias towards such a small minority sport from the totally awful second captains to their highlights program getting prime time coverage. But then it makes it all the better when they fall flat on their arses as they always do in their so called world cup.

Personally I wouldn't call it a sport, its corporate entertainment being flung down our throats by Ryle Nugent and co despite very little people here playing or caring about it

I would also accept that definition

The issue here is that we have our national tv station giving this sport coverage and exposure that is far in excess of what it should be getting. The football coverage at the station as like other sports is being reduced year on year out and with the awful ryle nugent there its only going to get worse.

Just a quick question ... Anybody bump into any Rugby lads from their home towns that were in Poznan ? Lads that were never at a football game in the Aviva before & were there for the Euro's ... I am not saying there was any thing wrong with it but when we are doing good we attract the other lads from the Rugby . I know a few lads that we were away with in Poland that are choosing Cardiff over Warsaw already & these lads would usually be more footballers than Spuds .

Twitter went buck ape when we drew with Germany ffs. Some bitter hures on here

Of course they don't give a sh*t about the football team why would they we are muck... It's very difficult supporting the soccer last good result we has was in 2002 against the Dutch. Why would neutrals be interested in a team that never really achieves anything. Every single post you write is either incorrect or you spouting lies or negative rubbish. The result against the USA was a good result and so too was the 1-1 draw against Germany. Can you actually back up anything you say? Have you anything factual about footballers being uneducated? The result against a weak usa team was a good result ...is this what it has come to. Germany away I was thrilled with and was a good result but we were outplayed, out tought and got lucky. Uneducated might be unfair but look at all the EPLs top players over the years Terry,Rooney, Robbie and Roy the list goes on. You can be damn sure they have no education. fair play however they are very rich. Ireland too had a 2nd side out and we beat them. So what. Ireland beating the USA has the same relevance as Ireland beating Austrialia in the rugby. Both were friendly games and both mean f**k all. You probably have a masters degree but your still a dumb ****.
