Really don't know what to make of this, expereinced player yes but only a fringe player in his last days at Man U how poor is his form if John O'Shea is selected ahead of him 

Might be inspired and hopefully will keep Senderos out of the Arsenal team...

Best of luck with that sir. Congrats

I give you american pole vaulter Allison Stokke...

The Brazilian was just trying to counter, Egan just picked him off, great stuff altogether.

Always in control, great result.

Shannon has always tirelessly championed two teams down through the years. The Cork hurlers and Armagh footballers. Mainly because of their "professionalism" and use of sports psychology. Two concepts he holds dear to himself along with his collection of Bob Rotella books.

True, I'm actually a fan of his writings but he wrote Brian Corcoran's auto-biography with Brian, so his impartiality would have to be questioned. A good read btw.

Yes, it seems to have wiped Kildare from the map

Ah sure we're use to that...

Anyone see the deabte on RTE last night, Gary O'Toole reckoned all the 100m athletes are on something, even had a pop at Irish schools rugby, great viewing altogether...

Cork City the best supported club in Ireland have gone into examinership!!! Cobh Ramblers have asked their players for a loan of €2K each to stop the debt flow! Kildare County players going on strike because they're not getting paid! Sligo Rovers need to raise approx €150K or they will go out of business!!!

How did this happen? Is it the clubs or the FAI's fault! Complete disaster none the less.

Was worried about this game but the kids look sharp, augers well with so many missing.

Ouch!!!

Tonights's game in Arnhem could be a Bridge Too Far for these young goons especially with Fabregas out 

You weren't exactly in the mood for it Dinny were you?

But even allowing for that I still don't get the hype that surrounds hurling, the big difference for me is the way the game is reffed, a lot more is allowed to go both on and off the ball.

Now I enjoyed the game but really it's not that more skillful than football, in fact John Hayes point where he flicked the ball up with his foot was the best bit of skill on show in Croke Park yesterday.

Any of the Kildare lads in with a shout ?

We're not flavour of the month in the media so definitely not, Earley and Doyle (The Top Scorer in Ireland) should get nominations though.

And much more skillfull than gaelic,soccer
A good hurling match is better than anything else if you ask me

Now I enjoy a good hurling game but to be brutally honest sitting down in Croke Park watching the game yesterday, all I could was lads hitting the ball as far as they could, poor sideline cuts, failure to pick the sliothar under pressure, terrible wides from both sides and unbelieveable amount of pulling and dragging. More skillful, not sure about that, much more skillful, definitely not.
