Correct! And for a bonus 10 points, Antrim is a county in which country?

sure the Brits are claiming her as well so you are not on your own.

No surprise there then that both are claiming her - peas in a pod

But they are on the Irish team?????

See how utterly pathetic such attitudes are.

Katie is an Irish girl and a proud Bray woman...

She did herself and her Family proud

I couldnt give a toss where she's from...

Nor could I - it was some of your fellow county men though who brough Dublin in to it.

You Antrim boys must be very proud of your contributions to the Olympics

I don't think I'm the one who doesn't get it.

One rule for some aye. Ah well...

Just giving it back as I received it.

Hopefully I've proven my point.

It's not my own attitude. Never has... never will be...

What exactly did you receive from me jimbodub? I made the point that the Dubs on here are like the Brits in claiming anything good for themselves (peas in a pod) and then mentioned the two Antrim lads for a bit of irony. Sin é.

Didn't like that comment either Jimbo....as TyroneTim says, would have expected better...!

miaowww.
Well think this is a time for unity. I certainly have never considered any Irish sportsperson's contributions diminished because of their geographical location. I delight in them all.
When you know them personally that gives it an extra edge but couldn't be happier for Katie or any of the other 3 to come.
Hopefully we can expect the same for the two Belfast lads.

Fair play to Katie on her fantastic achievement. She made the whole nation proud yesterday. Best of luck to Nevin, Conlon & Barnes later today. Don't care if they're Dubs or not, they're still Irish!!!

Wow..bad luck Paddy brilliant fight really had him in the last felt the countback would never go for him

John Joe Nevin - what a fighter fast as lightning this boy is as classy as I've seen in a long time.

I seem to remember that team GB actually approached Katies father about joining them... and sure who could blame them.
