The Problem With International Rules

Well i just want to see what you guys think.......obviously besides the obvious crappy rules and weak irish i think one of the main problem is the Australian team....I think that instead of choosing the best AFL players they need to choose the best international rules players......Best example: Leon Davis, he is exactly the type of player we needed, fast, tricky and pure genius. I think this a game where the small guys dominate and it seemed to me that australia was too big and slow....

The best thing about it is that Irelands best player and captain is a Skob. Tohill you are a star!

In Skob We Trust

also that the ball is round, imagine if it was a sherrin, we would kill em!! they would be fumbling around 'trying' to bounce and kick it hahaha it would be soooo funny.

Its the AFLs version of a midlife crisis, jesus everyone else plays internationly we better to!!!!!!

Just go's to show how big of wankers we've got running our game, asking our footballers to control a round ball is paramount to asking soccer players to kick a frisby around, STUPID!!!!!!!!

Apparently in Ireland they don't tackle - only "bump" each
other. They think our tackling is ferocious and should be
illegal but they apparently seem to think that it's OK to
hit the Umpires. It would be funny to watch them play with
our ball but then it would be too one sided.

If Tohill is a SKOB then I guess Ireland will stumble at the final hurdle and lose the series just as SKOB's did this year.

The explanation for Australia's loss was that Silvagni wasn't in goals - I venture to say that if this Marcellin Old Boy had been playing, the result would've been similar to the A-Grade GF.

Go Eagles.

Look at me mate, I'm flyin'

Yep, Tohill is definately a Skab! He was the only Irish player not to swap his jumper tonight.
What's that?? Skob?? Not Scab?
