The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Won an All Ireland and on a plane that night to continue his studies at Loughborough. No more needs to be said. Legend. RIP.

Didn't he say on that BBC documentary about the team that he didn't think there would be much of a fuss and it was only as he was getting near the plane that he was told about the sceitimíní áthas that was unfolding back home? He made sure he was about for the celebrations the following year! Ah, the sweet naivety made me want to weep with joy. Truly among the very best of humanity. RIP.

Ugh. That's why I don't go out to watch Liverpool on the box. Sickener.

Obama trolling the GOP by nominating a libtard to the Supreme Court. Yer man must have a thicker skin than a rhinoceros.

The us networks are making a big deal about how many delegates each still need. I'm wondering, for example, where rubio's delegates go.

There are probably still a few phone boxes/booths left in Cleveland.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Not big fans of baseball or basketball, but at least it's sorta straightforward and you know what's going on.

But with rugby, it's a brutal spectacle with stupid rules... who the hell dreamt up that shite? Backwards to go forwards, one of the aims is to kick the ball out of play...wtf? A set of posts, but you can score in the corner. That's the stupidest bit. That's like having in snooker, you can earn points by potting balls into the pocket, but you can also earn points by hitting your opponent over the head with your cue.

This might make it slightly more watchable, seeing someone nail Ronnie while he turns down another 147.  ;)

Poor Ronnie is constantly complaining about being bored with the game. That might fire up the Rocket!

Their parents probably consider it worth the fee if they learn the correct perfect conditional tense of the verb "go".

It's the equivalent of a Masonic handshake these days.

Who plays rugby in the Five Nations?

Ireland - posh people with a few pockets of non-posh
England - posh people and West Country bumpkins
France - foothills of the Pyrenees bumpkins
Wales - everyone
Scotland - posh people

That Florentine Football Tournament is still the craziest one for me:

dont mean to be rude but listening to that know all bernard flynn tonight on game on gushing about the rossies liam mc hale etc as if sam was on its way in sept get real for gods sake

I know it's hard to listen to and the very loud rossies themselves are going to get worse and worse but it really is better if we let them and the media blow themselves up without any counter argument at all .

I've been bitterly disappointed in the Rossies. Lots of one-game-at-a-time stuff. Poor form.

Wrapping yourself around a lamppost i.e. motor bike racing

Seems to be popular in Norn Iron. Would it be a cross-community thing or just for themmuns?

I dunno AZ. They should be way better in terms of putting it up to Kilkenny but all they have to show for the last 7 or 8 years of effort is that one win that killed the drive for 5. I thought they would kick on after that and they didn't, which was a real pity.
Last year they were very disappointing.  And hurling needs them to be better.
The game is not in great shape tbh. Offaly and Cork are badly missed.

Tipperary/Kilkenny/Cork delenda est.
I feel sorry for Cork at this stage. That strike was immensely damaging

No, I'm going with Cato the Elder on this one. Ploughing salt into the ground is the least we should do.
