POLL: Is Ireland The Biggest Sporting Power In The World?

[Legend killer]

After dishing out ANOTHER humbling to Pakistan in this evenings cricket match I really think we can classify Ireland with the like of the USA and Aus in the sporting powerhouse Category

CRICKET Have humbled Pakistan(handful of times) , Bangladesh (Handful of times) , England (Handful of times) and West Indies to name a few all while have our team depleted every other game by team like England stealing out best players(Morgan , Porterfield ,Joyce etc) cause there own talent is not up to scratch (the case in most sports). The ICC are running scared of the Irish emergence and continue to refuse our entry as a proper test nation because of it

GOLF Harrington , Mclroy and McDowell nuff said

FOOTBALL IN MCGRATH and Roy Keane we have 2 players that would make it into 99% of countries greatest ever teams. In Shay,Dunne,John,Robbie,Duff in there primes we have players that would walk into an England team ranked top 5 in the world LOOOL. We all saw how a YOUNG irish team recently outplayed both Italy and Croatia in the recent euro's

RUGBY UNION In BOD and POC we have 2 players who easily make it into the top 10 greatest players ever. And in Ulster,Leinster and Munster we have 3 of the top 5 club teams in world rugby

Boxing Fury , Floyd and Canelo nuff said

Aussie Rules So dominant in our version of the game in Gaelic we on a yearly basis play against and beat Australia in a hybrid version of the two games

I COULD go into more detail but will leave it at that for now the above speaks for itself

Its an amazing time for irish sport I agree (though your claims about POC and keane are way over-stated), but Id say its also wales who are stealing a march, depsite being half the size of Ireland

Rugby. 6 nations champions yet again, 4 titles in 8 years (3 grand slams) and world cup 4th place. 15 welshmen on the lions trip plus several coaches

Football. 2 teams in the premiership now, winners of calring cup at swansea, newport promoted back to the football league and wrexham winners of the football trophy. also players like bale now valued as the most valuable player in UK and giggs the most successful ever

Boxing. Cleverley undefeated world champ, calzaghe the most successful british fighter of all time, other world champs like gavin rees, maccarinelli etc in recent years

Cycling, nicole cooke world champion

Athletics, dai green 400m hurdles world champion

Darts. mark webster BDO world champion

Paralympics. - 3 gold medal winners, adding to 2 of the most successful paralympians ever, tanni grey with 11 golds and david roberts with 11 golds

Olympics, record 30 welsh olympians including golds for jade jones.

Snooker -6 welsh in the top 40 (wales have won 9 of the world championships in the past 43 years)

Golf- well no one can seem to compete with the irish at present. though england have got a load of superb players....wales has jamie donaldson in the top 40 following from the retirement to the seniors tour of former world number 1, masters champion and winning ryder cup captain ian woosie woosnam

Cricket. Glamorgan were very successful up until the last few years when they spent all their money on building a test venue. wales supplied players to ashes victories such as simon jones, robert croft, geraint jones etc

Not too bad for a tiny nation of just 3 million and not a great economic climate

Other then that your post is solid

[Novo]

Are you talking about ROI or Northern Ireland here? in Golf you have Mclroy and Mcdowell who are both Northern Irish, and in Boxing none of those 3 are really legit.. Tyson was born in England and represents both, he lost out of representing England because David Price was preferred and then he tried to represent Ireland and failed as well :joker:





And then there is England..

not to mention we have the current Snooker World Champion, the current Darts World Cup, and in Football the current Champions of Europe for both Cups are English.

In Rugby we recently destroyed Ireland at the Six Nations with Farrell going into GOAT Mode and not to mention before that at the end of last year we beat New Zealand like no body has beat them before in recent years, Dan Carter could only stand in amazement as Farrell kicked everything over. we also have best kicker in the history of the game in Wilko and took out the Aussies in the greatest world cup final ever.

In Golf Ireland could only wish to have someone as amazing as Nick Faldo as as for Cricket well.. remember 2005 and that amazing ashes series where we took on and beat one of the best cricket sides ever? and since then we have pretty much been the best Cricket team, we are above Ireland in the Test, IDO and 20Twenty rankings and in the top 5 in all of them

[Novo]

Tyson Fury has represented England before you bloody idiot.. thought you were suppose to be a big boxing fan and even you didn't know that? you did know he was actually born in England though as well right?

Mo Farah moved to Britain when he was a Child he has every right to represent Britain, he didn't just come over here because he could.. he was trained to be a Champion over here and not Somalia

Wiggo was born in Belgium and has an English mother they moved to London when he wasn't even 2 years old

Manu also moved to England has a kid and choose to represent England over Somoa

Kevin Pietersen - English mother made him available for England and the same as Trott who also has English Blood


Sorry LK you have failed this test

[Legend killer]

Rugby- I love the way you speak with so much passion about having the best kicker in history yet in POC and BOD you don't have one player in your HISTORY as good as them PMSL!!!!!!!! Please tell me a club team you have as good as Munster.Leinster or Ulster heck even as good as Connacht PMSL

Cricket - Embarrassed you IN A WORLD CUP MATCH and since you have tried/taken to nick the following players from us Morgan , Joyce, Porterfield , Dockerill , KOB PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALSO ENNIS BETTER THEN KLUFT PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE HAS ONLY WATCHED THE LAST 3 YEARS OR SO

And then you brag about rowing a sport where only the rich and elitist participate in looooool has maybe 7 countries participate in it

Also Mo the greatest distance runner in the world WHAT LOOOOOOL never heard of Kenenisa Bekele I take. Only reason MO won in London is he had just come out of retirement

Trott has English blood a legit reason why he can play for England. you have again made yourself look very silly LK, i'm not enjoying this education i am dishing out to you but sometimes it has to be done before you end up making yourself look more stupid and making more silly threads like this

Oh yeah and nice of you to reply back about the Bekele comment, maybe you just finally accepted Mo was better at the Olympics

[Legend killer]

Also when Mo trains out in Somalia and Kenya (where he trains 95% of the time) is that him getting that good old English training????

I didn't actually say Trott was made a champion by english training i was talking about people who come over to England at a young age and are trained and raised over here, i agree with Trott and Kevin being allowed to represent England though because of their Heritage

Tyson pretty much only represents Ireland because he was pissed off about the David Price thing all those years ago, if everything went his way then he'd be representing England.. but beggars can't be choosers i suppose

[MTVN]

Even with Trott he's been playing his cricket in England for 11 years and had to start at the bottom of the ladder in the Warwickshire second XI where players get paid barely anything to play in front of crowds of about 10 people at what are basically playing fields, I wonder if him making the England team was more down to his 7 years of cricket and honing his ability in England or to his playing a bit of youth cricket in South Africa

Also you do know that Kevin only left SA over some racial quota system dispute in SA right??? So again you have dug yourself another hole

Every single sporting Hero i mentioned has trained over here and most of them raised over here so what is your point? can't actually believe you are using that as an excuse as to why we are one of the best countries at Sport, how many times have Northern Irish and American people represented Ireland? probably a lot more times then anyone abroad has ever represented England.

This thread was made because you have some kind of weird love for Ireland even though your from London? and as soon as other people stat the facts about other countries being more successful you start getting in a temper and no doubt probably punching your wall when you are being educated by everyone

the facts don't lie England and many other countries have won much much more then Ireland in the past few years.. so how can you class them as a Powerhouse, what have they actually done worthy of being noted? your first post mentions Rory and Floyd coming from ROI which pretty much says it all when it comes to your sporting knowledge. i'm awaiting your post saying that Bobby Moore was really from Peru


And nice poll result by the way

Rugby

WALES HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER THAN ENGLAND OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS WITH 3 GRAND SLAMS AND 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS, ENGLAND HAVE WON NONE....IRELAND TOO HAVE BEEN AY MORE SUCCESSFUL OVER THIS PERIOD AS HAVE THEIR PROVINCES WHO HAVE WON 5 EUROPEAN CUPS IN 8 YEARS

Basketball
Kevin McHale>>>Anyone England produced. Fair enough. (He is only Part Irish however. Luol Deng>>>Anyone who repped Irish.)
BASKETBALL? SERIOUSLY

Boxing

YES AND DONT FORGET THE WELSH WORLD CHAMPS, CLEVERLEY, CALZAGHE, GAVIN REES, MACCARINELLI ETC

Ireland claim EuroHockey bronze at England's expense

Hosts England were denied bronze as Ireland recovered from going behind to win 4-2 and claim their first ever medal at the EuroHockey Championships.

Shane O'Donoghue sealed victory with a penalty stroke in the final five seconds after England led twice through Harry Martin and Adam Dixon.


O'Donoghue and Alan Sothern levelled before Eugene Magee put underdogs Ireland in front.

Netherlands beat Germany 6-1 in the gold medal match.

England captain Barry Middleton said his side was punished for not taking their chances.

He added: "We are devastated. We put a lot into the tournament and to come away with nothing is very disappointing.

"We must learn from our mistakes and we know how much hard work we will have to put into the Rio Olympics to achieve the results we want."

Ireland's man of the match Paul Gleghorne said: "We are mixing it with the top teams in the world, teams we aspire to be like and to compete with.

"It is absolutely brilliant to get a bronze. We are delighted."

Ireland, 14 in the world rankings, stunned fifth-rated England by scoring with three of their first four shots.

Despite forcing six short corners, having 16 shots and 68% possession, England were unable to make their pressure tell.

I think I have showed my true colours over the years. I vacated the British and Commonwealth titles, which some people say are more prestigious than the Irish title, but not to me. I vacated those belts for an Irish title shot because it meant more to me.”




The seemingly rash decision becomes quite understandable after Fury explains, “All my people are from Ireland. I was born in Manchester but I am Irish. I have lived in Ireland, visited all my life and when I fight I represent Ireland. It means alot to me as does the support I get when I fight in Belfast.”

‘God Save the Queen’ was played for the challenger’s introduction, while a Union Jack was paraded in his corner. Hennessy (who is also of Irish heritage) claimed that the Fury camp wanted a ‘neutral’ anthem to be played in recognition of his Irish family links but said the promoters failed to follow their requests.

“They weren’t supposed to play a national anthem because he considers himself British and Irish, they were supposed to play ‘We are the World’ but they played one national anthem. He’s born in England but he’s of Irish heritage,” said Hennessy.

Although Fury can often be paradoxical or contradictory in many statements, he does appear to place some value on his Irish heritage, with the newly-crowned world champion proclaiming himself as the ‘first Irish heavyweight champion of the world’ after his dominant points win over Klitschko — a claim that could be disputed on many levels considering other heavyweight champions with similar Irish links — but the Manchester-born fighter was keen to make a point of his background at the post-fight press conference.

“Everything is destined to be in life, every turn we take is planned,” said a humble Fury after his win, abandoning the vocal approach he had adopted in the build-up.

“From the first moment I laced on a pair of boxing gloves, there wasn’t one person in my family who didn’t believe I wasn’t going to be the heavyweight champion of the world,” added the new champion, a proud Traveller, who recalled his first sparring sessions with his brother Seán in the childhood kitchen.

“From the beginning I aimed for the stars and anything less was a failure. Tonight I hit a shooting star.

“And I’m the first Irish heavyweight champion of the world,” added Fury.

In Rugby we recently destroyed Ireland at the Six Nations with Farrell going into GOAT Mode and not to mention before that at the end of last year we beat New Zealand like no body has beat them before in recent years, Dan Carter could only stand in amazement as Farrell kicked everything over. we also have best kicker in the history of the game in Wilko and took out the Aussies in the greatest world cup final ever.

In Golf Ireland could only wish to have someone as amazing as Nick Faldo as as for Cricket well.. remember 2005 and that amazing ashes series where we took on and beat one of the best cricket sides ever? and since then we have pretty much been the best Cricket team, we are above Ireland in the Test, IDO and 20Twenty rankings and in the top 5 in all of them

After dishing out ANOTHER humbling to Pakistan in this evenings cricket match I really think we can classify Ireland with the like of the USA and Aus in the sporting powerhouse Category

CRICKET Have humbled Pakistan(handful of times) , Bangladesh (Handful of times) , England (Handful of times) and West Indies to name a few all while have our team depleted every other game by team like England stealing out best players(Morgan , Porterfield ,Joyce etc) cause there own talent is not up to scratch (the case in most sports). The ICC are running scared of the Irish emergence and continue to refuse our entry as a proper test nation because of it

GOLF Harrington , Mclroy and McDowell nuff said

FOOTBALL IN MCGRATH and Roy Keane we have 2 players that would make it into 99% of countries greatest ever teams. In Shay,Dunne,John,Robbie,Duff in there primes we have players that would walk into an England team ranked top 5 in the world LOOOL. We all saw how a YOUNG irish team recently outplayed both Italy and Croatia in the recent euro's

RUGBY UNION In BOD and POC we have 2 players who easily make it into the top 10 greatest players ever. And in Ulster,Leinster and Munster we have 3 of the top 5 club teams in world rugby

Boxing Fury , Floyd and Canelo nuff said

Aussie Rules So dominant in our version of the game in Gaelic we on a yearly basis play against and beat Australia in a hybrid version of the two games
