I'd probably go with the IRA too, but it's hard to say, from what I've seen most of the IRA were quite well trained but that might be true of the Taliban aswell, I don't know.

I go with the Ra cause I've seen what they're like.

yeah I'd go with IRA

Hajii would win

Better financing: Rich sheiks, Saudi princes, and under-the-table funds from certain middle eastern nations.
Religious fanaticism: Pretty sure there aren't 72 virgins waiting for the IRA martyrs in the afterlife.
Larger numbers: Ireland is a small recruiting pool, compared to the entire population of underemployed middle eastern teenage males.
More reasons to die: Irish have decent beer, cute women, and a functioning economy - Hajii's got sand in the asscrack, women walking around in Glad-trashbags, no beer, miserable hot climate, and massive underemployment of hotblooded impressionable bored teenage males.

Then again...
The Irish have alot more friends-with-firepower than Hajii.
Start screwing with the world supply of Guinness, and the USA, Canada, & Europe would have to come in on the side of the Irish.

The show isn't testing who would win in a war, but in a skirmish.

In which the IRA have superior training, better tactics and more impressive weapons.

The Deadliest Warrior is so ghey...I give them no props. As for the who would win, the Taliban wins hands-down on B.O. and lack of hygiene.

lolwut I just got done watching this episode (nothing else was on tv ). Note that it was a 5 on 5 battle they simulated. I think on a large scale (i.e. all-out WAR) Taliban would win, but in squad stuff, IRA definitely deserved the win.

The IRA never fought a single real battle (sniping from the bushes and putting bombs in pubs doesn't count), and very few of them are really prepared to die for their beliefs.

Again, spouting about shit you don't know. Plenty of open engagements between the army, SAS and the IRA. Its well documented. Read up about the South Armagh brigade.
Die for their beliefs.......does starving yourself to death for your beliefs not count? Attacking an SASE OP in open ground? The IRA where up against the SAS. You go up against the SAS, you know their is a very good chance you are going to get killed.

No one would win. 2 Guerrilla army's have never fought openly because its impossible. Northern Ireland contains guerrilla army's on both sides and in 50 odd years they never openly fought each other. In fact their was actual collusion on some matters between the IRA and UDA.

Molatovs sucked when the Mafia used them. I thought the IRA would shoot some sort of grenade out of it though, that would have gotten them many kills.

DUP (Loyalist & Unionist political party) were going mental about this programme on the radio this morning - maybe if they were a bit more outspoken about things like the Catholic father who was beaten to death by Loyalist scum and buried today things would be different here..
