What a game!

When we kicked possession away, France caused us all sorts of problems, but when we ran with it we were superb. Took us a fair long time to figure it out, but when we did we were superb. (Hope Cheika too note)

Strong performances throughout the team, but Heaslip and O'Driscoll were supreme.

Kearney's leg/ankle didnt look too clever, so I doubt he'll be ready for Italy. Paddy Wallace's face/head looked really sore (not sure what happened) and Darce did well so that'll be a decision for Kidney.

Kearney loooked alright last night when I saw him after 12 0'clock with Geordan Murphy and Bowe. It looked like they were about to head out for a night on the tiles, so the leg couldn't have been that bad. He didn't have the manner of someone who had been told he was ruled out of the next game he seemed in good form.

Watched Hitman the last night, really liked it, love the voilence!

Watched W. today, it's about Bush, anyone see it yet? Hard to know what to make of it, it's interesting but I don't know enough about him to know how accurate it is, I was nearly feeling sorry for the f**ker at the end of it! I think they tried to squeeze to much in to it, they only touched the surface on most things when it would have been great if they gone in to more detail. 

Watched Taken this evening too, really liked it but I could take Neeson grrrrrrrr


I'm going to watch untraceable now, seen it before, love it! 

Hitman is a masterpiece of the genre. You know what you are going to get and if you like that type of film you will love this. The hot Russian one who was in one of the bond films takes her clothes off in it as well, JEEESUS.

Excellent display today. The team looked balanced for the first time in a number of years, with no square pegs in round holes.

The GAA - I've never understood the hype about O'Gara. I don't think he particularly excels at any aspect of a no.10's game, and in some areas like tackling and line-breaking, he is downright dismal. And unless his pack gives him an armchair ride, he can't dominate a game.

Well some fly halves can't dominate a game when a pack give them an arm chair ride. It is the packs that win games the backs decide by how much.

What's seldom is wonderful!
France has gotten out of jail so many times in the past (rem 2 years ago?) that I couldn't sit down until the ref blew the final whistle. The same man had made so many howlers throughout the game that anything was possible with him until the game had ended.

What mistakes did you notice? I noticed a forward pass from Malzieu for the Harrinordiquay try, quite easy to notice but missed by the officials. The other thing that got to me was when towards the end of the first half Flannery was penalised for not taking the throw on time from 5 yards inside the 22. The ref ga.ve a free kick however the French player took it about 5 yards ahead of the mark where it had occurred. Is this not a free kick in reverse?

Guess who Liverpool play in the last game of the league. Thats right spurs. Now just imagine that liverpool need to win their last game to win the title and up steps Robbie to break their hearts. Could it happen

Well it would be pure madness by Keane if he did as he would be throwing away a league winners medal. It would be a bizarre situation if it came to pass.

I think Boldin would be foolish to leave and I don't think Warner should retire. They should also try to get Edg games to change his mind about leaving and add a few new defensive acquisitons and they could win the superbowl next year. Warner is a class act and could play forever. They have a lot of salary cap room to invest in new defensive players or a running back free agent. Whisenhunt is also a good young head coach, things are looking good for this franchise.

What about the final incomplete pass that was ruled a fumble lads. That was a terrible decision and it was never reviewed. There was a penalty on Pittsburgh that would have brought Arizona down to the Pittsburgh 29 for 1 or possibly even 2 attempts at the endzone.

I got up and left seven pounds after about seven minutes, did I miss something? It had the worst possible start to a movie for me with mention of suicide and judgemntalism and an IRS agent playing God. I did not want to know any more about it.

That is a farce lads. 4 witnesses pick him out of a 4 man line up with 3 bulgarians and 1 scouser. They pick out the scouser. Of these 4 witnesses 2 of them say Shields threw the rock and 2 initially say he threw the punch. He can't be both of these people, therefore he can't have been either of these people.

There is no doubt about it usury is potentially evil when carried out by the wrong people. A lot of the high level financial people simply used it to make it look like they were very clever and making lots of money when in fact they were runnning the banks into the gorund. Would the world be any worse off if money lending did not exist.

I assume what the original poster is talking about is in a rural area, and by karma he doesn't actually mean karma, what he means is if I had a site off the parents and got a loan from the bank to build a fine big house but then couldn't keep up the repayments and had to move back in with the parents across the road, while some slick city type came along and bought the house for half of what it was worth leaving me still in debt to the bank. This might not be wise for the person who bought it as the old owner is unlikely to leave the area. In a big city people move away when they have to sell up, it is different in rural areas.

Was O'Garas kick that rolled over the top of the post with the scores level actually a score it seemed to deflect off the top of the post and hit the target. What about Marcus Horans intercepted pass tat helped save the game?

Terrible stuff lads. No way should that kid have been allowed to kill himself. Life is not long at all at the best of times. If people were willing to look after him he should ahve been allowed to live. How do you know he wasn't forced into the decision by people not wanting to look after him. The medical technology to cure paralysis is in develpment and this was a young guy who might have been able to benefit from such developments in the future.

Is Padraig worth a flutter at 20 to 1 lads. It looks a decent price for the most recent golfer to win 2 majors in a year. Will the course suit him?

It is usually only guilty people who don't answer questions. People with nothing to hide should be able to answer questions in order to clear things up and move the investigation along, why was Kate unable to do this? Saying "She didn't answer the questions because she is not an idiot" does imply that she may well have something to hide. I can't change the fact that you said that or what it means.
