[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 95009"] Love to see you call Vinnie Jones a wimp, but that's a different subject for a different day. Sanzar; As someone who has been there many, many, MANY times, I will assure you that football is the biggest sport in Ireland. Just because their league is pathetic doesn't mean they don't lap it up over there; Most people instead will support Premiership sides (a large chunk appears to be Man Utd or Liverpool) or one of the Glasgow teams in the SPL, regardless if they're from the North or the Republic. BOD is well known throughout the world. So is Stirling Mortlock. However, only rugby fans know who they are, the resy [i]may[/i] have heard of them. On the other hand, Roy Keane is known throughout the world, much like David Beckham. EVERYBODY knows who they are and what they do. To say a top rugby player will ever be more famous then a top footballer who still never gets out of the media is on another planet. A moronic comment thinking BOD is better know to John Q. Notasportsfan then Keano. [/QUOTE]
