I wonder what your man would make of the boul' Mr. Morrison??!!

It was the first fight I ever attended in the flesh and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I thought there would be more of a crowd there though in fairness as there was quite a bit of empty space in the Odyssey.

Having said that the crowd that were there made serious noise and it was a very enjoyable atmosphere.

I enjoyed the fight and thought it was a good scrap, my gut feeling was that Dudey had earned a draw but wasn't overly surprised by the final result. I had no idea how much of an effect the crowd has on a fight like that. Every time Dudey swung and missed even you thought he'd taken your mans head off by the crowd reaction yet Prescott hit some real dingers and there would barely be a word from the crowd. No matter how good or impartial a judge is there is not way that couldn't sway them.

Anyway good luck to Dudey whoever he fights next. This fight has made me think twice about the Khan fight and I believe he would have come strong towards the end of that fight had he got the chance. Hopefully we'll find out but I can't see Khan coming down in weight for him!

In fairness I think the citing is a big harsh. His first tackle made me shudder though you could see the guy's knee crumpling under him and I'd imagine it's a cruciate injury. Was Wallace's injury a cruciate also?!

Looks like our Courtney could be in a spot of bother . . .

We all stick a pound in at work and pick a result each. Anyway long story short we're all waiting on Utd and Fulham for £500 ... I may need a dozen showers after this but "Come on you Reds"

Jesus Phil Vickery is another dose... Trying to do his best Brian Moore impression!! c**k!

They had Gregory Campbell on the News there and he's absolutely seething ... Great stuff!!!

These are the 3 gimmicks i've heard of, im sure there are many more

Wouldn't surprise me if theres plenty of Feng Shui about Cavan over the winter 

I remember something about an upside down McDonalds sign and a penny or 5p performance, passion, pride, blah blah.

Is that what it was like this morning or did they wait for one another to finish?

Cheers. Feckit lads, I know it's a bit cliched, but the the Haka is class.

Too commercialised for me these days and is an unfair advantage when playing against against other non-South Pacific teams. Plus any half-arsed Kiwi thinks he can do it whereas for example the Tongans would treat the Sipi Tau with a lot more respect and I remember playing with a Tongan International who refused to do it because it wouldn't be respectful.

Nonsense. Still immense on the rugby field between two sides. Many top pro's including O'Driscoll have said it is no advantage to NZ as it should inspire the opposition. I was in Edinburgh for an autumn international a few years back when the scots played NZ and nobody we met from NZ would do it bar a couple of Mouri's who claimed to hold some tribal position, others in their party wouldn't do it.

Immense if your maybe 7 and have never seen it before. As for O'Driscoll, he is a professional athlete with a PR machine behind him, don't be so naive, what else would you expect him to say?

The Haki is just commercialised albeit entertaining rubbish. Simon Cowell would be proud.

Look how it evolved for ffs.

That has to be the worst Haka I've ever seen. I think it adds to the occasion myself. Yes it is commercialised but everything is nowadays and hype is the name of the game. . . if you like your Rugby and enjoy the occasion why not buy into it?!

Excellent!! Good to see we're using a bit of forward thinking and getting this type of thing sorted early!

We are a year or so behind Armagh with this but we're doing the right things as far as I can see

1. The ramore portrush 2. 55 Degrees North portrush 3. The exchange Derry 4.  2 Taps Wine Bar Belfast 5. Sizzlers magherafelt. Put a fiver of red in your 406 estate the big fella,throw out the the sheep dog,treat the woman in one of these fine spots!

How could I forget about the Ramore and the Exchange?? It's too longsince I've eaten in either I'd say . . . Good shout!!!!

Watched Knuckle there about the traveller fighting. It's more of a documentary than a film and doesn't really show up anything new but at the same time you feel you have to watch it.

See if anyone can spot the cameo at the end??!!

[If Canavan had put his toe under the ball, Tyrone would have got the draw, and would have had plenty to thank the ref for.]

I may have to go and get myself seen to after this but I agree with Mike! The last time we heard all this crap about Dublin needing an All Ireland was in 1995 and we all know how the big calls went in that game.

A load of nonsense. If Canavan had put his toe under the ball, Tyrone would have got the draw, and would have had plenty to thank the ref for.

What a load of horsedung!  What do you think Canavan is, some manner of magical contortionist? He played the ball totally within the rules (and his physical capability at the time), which is all that should be necessary, not executing gyrating gymnastics as he's propelled towards the turf (just because the ref is incompetent)!

Not that I am one renound for sticking up for Tyrone but the 2 big calls of the day were Redmond's sending off and Canavan's 'touching the ball on the ground' . . . the ref got both calls wrong!

[I have plenty of respect for what Trap has done with the team but it is soul destroying watching this team and its complete lack of quality.]

I have plenty of respect for what Trap has done with the team but it is soul destroying watching this team and its complete lack of quality. Whelan and Andrews as our centre midfield, wtf is that all about. f**king get over yourself and get James McCarthy into the team. I will probably get slaughtered for this but when the team is fully fit, Robbie Keane should not be starting. Outstanding player in his day but has been woeful since his falling out with Harry Redknapp. Still think will get a result here match though as we are set up for away matches in every single game

It's hardly Trapps fault the players are shite. It's not as if there are a pile of superstars that he isn't starting.

"AREEEEEE YOU JIM McGUINNESS IN DISGUISE!!!"

It's only a joke . . . Jim McGuinness was in the same boat as Traoo and did the same thing. I am not getting at anyone.
