    :lol:

    I agree although in fairness to Roy he was willing to face the other best players of his sport. Frampton and LSC disgraced themselves and their division by running away from the smaller and much older Rigo like a pair of absolute sissies.

    Conor Mcgregor



    Frampton

    I am neither biased or ignorant.The fact is no matter the reasons for his departure Keane walked out on Ireland when they needed him most.To deny that is just plain wrong

    Based on the fact that teenage male basketball teams easily beat pro women's teams, male club tennis players easily beat pro female players and so forth, I'm going to go out on a limb and say no female sport really matters in comparison to male competition and level. And the sports with the smallest competition pool are female fighting sports, therefore dominating them is the least impressive feat in all professional sports.

    Taylor? That's the girl who got a blatant gift against Persoon... Does she really need another gift as greatest sportsperson?!
    Pretty sure Persoon isn't even remotely close to Belgium's greatest sportsperson, and she's obviously better and greater as Taylor. Do Irish people think so less of themselves, that one of little Belgium's good athlete's is better as Ireland's greatest ever?

    No I won’t “calm my tits” seeing as I don’t have tits

    some things you just don’t joke about and racist murders is one of them

    Irish people are a separate racial group from the rest of the human race therefore discrimination against them is racist ok dumbo

    If we count the whole Island (I'm Irish BTW), I would argue george best

    He had a short career but he was genuinely the best footballer in the world at one point and one of the best European football players ever

    There's been many great Irish sportspeople down the years such as Ronnie Delany, Eamonn Coghlan and Sonia O'Sullivan in track & field, the great Georgie Best in soccer/football, Sean Kelly, Stephen Roche in cycling and Alex Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan in snooker, with Ronnie being from County Kilburn in London most likely!!
