great to see both English parties involved bottle it in time honoured fashion at the very final hurdle - after a poor start that brightened up my weekend a bit!!

What switch?so when you grow up you start rooting for England do you - at what age did you make the switch??

I hardly think that the performance of the rugby team could be described as bottling it. It was a bloody hard game from what I saw and the fact that all of the subs were used would suggest that the guys gave their all.
The hydraulic problem that cost Lewis Hamilton 30 seconds and relegated him to 18th place from which he battled back to seventh was probably more the cause of him not winning the championship than any lack of courage.

The Sun reading, Coronation street watching, English Premier League/ Scottish Premier League supporting knob ends who spout incoherent anti-English rubbish make me sick. The UK is our nearest neighbour and we have more in common with them than any other country on Earth so grow up. That doesn't make me any less Irish than the next man; it just means that I have thought about what it means to be a citizen of this republic rather than basing my national identity on what someone wrote on a wall when I was in primary school.
Who are you quoting there? I didn't say anything about being a "citizen of the republic", I said citizen of this republic, “this” being Ireland. Therefore I'm talking about the Republic of Ireland, i.e. this country. Do you follow?well I am a consider myself Irish not a "citizen of the republic"
Do you support a Scottish Premier League team, the one that doesn't know how to pronounce Celtic? Do you support that British team?- and just for the record I dont read the Sun, watch "Corrie" or support an EPL team.
It's quite fashionable amongst some people on both coasts and in the middle but others have grown out of that inferiority complex.Just love to see the Brits get beat, as unfashionable as that may be on the east coast!!
Who are we to mock the English?! - We have incompetence written all over us. The Irish rugby team could have gone a lot further imo. Let's not bother with the Irish Soccer (team(?))great to see both English parties involved bottle it in time honoured fashion at the very final hurdle - after a poor start that brightened up my weekend a bit!!
I had similar thoughtsOne thing that really bothered me about the Rugby WC final was them dragging a c. 3 (?) year old out to present the trophy when the poor child obviously did not want to be there and was petrified, bawling crying and shaking with nerves. To me this was a form of child abuse and yet I never heard anybody raise a peep about it. Despicable stuff in my opinion.

No - obviously they're not British. They're a UK team playing in the eircom League of Ireland. A bit like Cardiff being a Welsh team playing in the English Football League. Or Toronto FC being a Canadian team playing in the US MLS.If I told you I supported Derry City would that mean that I supported a British team in your eyes Purple!?!?

There is a big difference between not supporting England, and actively rejoicing when they lose. Saying that the England rugby team and Hamilton "bottled it" shows a lack of knowledge ot the sports involved. The rugby was a hard fought match, which SA were expected to win. England were probably more competitive in that match than anticipated.
