you for real,you only come out when i post it seems,where on earth are you getting that im having a go at british or english people please point out for me ?

There's your ego getting out of control again, I haven't posted 1910 times on this forum just to answer, so get your head out of the clouds. And there you are swiping at the Olympics just because they're in London and this is only a couple of weeks after you declare 'Paddys' to be racist, while the 'Brits' is not. You're more transparent than a window.

im saying our media is to blame for not giving somebody who has won 4 world titles and 5 european titles the recognition they deserve

Get over it. The Olympics is one of the biggest sporting events on earth and it's blindingly obvious it's going to get more coverage and more front pages while it's on, the same could be said for every athlete in every nation in every sport, that's how the world works.

im not stop you are anybody enjoying anything pal

Get your grammar in check first of all. And don't BS me - you're obviously just one of those cycnics who can't enjoy anything without picking holes in it or finding something to moan about. No doubt, when Katie & our other boxers comes home with a medals around her neck to the adoration of thousands of people, no one will be listening to a whiner like you.

Ah the usual nonsense form the usual protagonists, why can't people just be happy for the girls achievements, and be allowed to be happy for her. The biggest enemy to the Irish throughout the years has been ourselves

Well said. A post that definitely belies your user name.

Random? Random??? C'mon ffgg, haven't you noticed the ongoing battle between me & the hillman? To the point that he thinks I only post to answer him?

This is the guy who thinks Rugby & Soccer have no place next to GAA despite the combined interest people have in both, criticses Irish soccer players for having descent in other countries despite the fact that they're representing us in Europe, that Dublin fans don't boo opposing free-takers? (Some sh*t about fans booing the ref & waving their arms in support of their team? Is that supposed to fool us?) That last year, he couldn't admit that free against Kildare was soft? While defending Connolly for striking a Donegal player a few weeks later? For some of us to fondly think of ourselves as 'Paddys' makes us racist? While thinking the 'Brits' is ok by comparison? And now he's questioning Irish people's right to enjoy Katie Taylor's win in the Olympics just because they weren't pre-Olympic experts on the subject?

Oh no my friend, I've been opposing hill16man for a long time on this forum because I consider him a bullsh*tter & a whiner. At least when Snuffy & Thurlesblues infest this site with their BS, they do it by design, he does it by default. And I have no qualms in pointing it out.

You're all welcome to agree/disagree (I don't care either way)

no need to be so snobby about it..id certainly agree with you on most things especially the argument he makes against irish soccer players which is the most idiotic argument ever about them playing abroad...im just referring to the last post he made which you responded to as it wasnt too bad by hill standards at all

nothing like an ego at all its just you always seem to only have an attack on my posts when others also say the same you dont attack them,why is that then?
im not swiping at anything i said our media are covering it more because its in london yes menaing its closer to ireland then any other meaning they can afford to cover it better.yes paddys is a rcist term while the brits lable themselves as the brits thats the actual term for a british person.
so you think she doesnt deserve any recognition until she wins an olympic gold is that what your saying that 4 world titles and 5 european titles are not anything to be proud of an athlete over unless they do it at an event that happens once every 4 years well i would consider 9 gold medals at other events more of an achievment then 1.dont try get smart it was obviously a typing mistake no need to act all high and mighty pal.
you dont know me so dont try an assume anything on who i am i enjoy alot and am not begrudging you are anybody else any enjoyment but i am allowed an opinon on a thread like anybody else here and just because you do not agree with that opinion does not give you the right to launch an attack on my character

you realy do have a chip on your shoulder and clearly pointed out you have a thing against me anything i post by admitting above that you oppose anything i have an opinion on,just because you do not agree with me does not mean i am right or wrong i am no wum and many posters will tell you that so once again if you have a problem fine but stop trying to have an attack on me at any chace you get,i post my opinion like any other on here so get over it nobody asking you to agree with me.where have i ever said rugby and soccer has no place anywhere its rubbish talk and accusations you are making.as for the free against kildare you cannot have a soft free its either a free or not a free and in my opinion it was a free,you dont have soft point its either a point or not.
my point on katie was clear so dont try and make it any differant i was delighted for her and all i said was that quite simlply it shouldnt take her to have to win an olympic medal to get the credit she deserves as she is a multi world and european champion

RTEs coverage of Olympic team homecoming....stomach churning.....obviously nothing else to repot on so let's make up a non-news story to report on....as for Marty Morrisseys interviews at Dublin Airport.....don't start me...!

Folks what about Des Cahills performance at the reception at the Mansion House...? Waving up the street, waving down the street and waving up the street again.....brings cringe to a totally new level altogether....!

Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 15/08/2012 13:39:52    1245701

Lifford Gael ,your spot on, it was cringeworthy stuff.

Cahill interviewed paddy Barnes for 20 seconds and asked him was he going back to Belfast tonight.

Could have asked him about going for rio, meeting bolt or the closing ceremony.

Wave up the road lads, wave up there.

It as horrible.

Is Katie's mum and dad from England or is her mum Irish?
