Patrick Wallace qualifies at 49 years old !

Qualifies for what?

He’s not even in the qualifying rounds for the world championships. I think he might be retired.

He's qualified for the Seniors World Championships...

My bad ! I read that wrong ! Shane , I did beat Wallace in an ETL game about 30 years ago ...

The game was won as they say in the trenches! The chiefs OL simply couldnt handle that Buccs front 4 , and that was with Bowles only sending 4 blitz's. Mahomes rarely got his feet set tonight . Eric Harris was a huge loss for the Chiefs . Brady is some cat, they wont be easy stopped next year either....

Minimino is nowhere close to the level required ... not sure what he brings to the team , other than running around like a headless chicken and getting in lads ways..

As bad a first half I remember watching from Liverpool in recent times . Firmino shocking , the midfield completely non existent , Klopp will be going bonkers at HT. Lucky not to be 3-0 down , Jota,s injury looking for meaningful right now ...

Justin Herbert is going to be a star! That's arguably the best QB class in the draft since big Ben , Eli and Rivers , I guess we will have to wait and see how Tua works out. Herbert definitely passes the eyeball test, although a small sample size the pass he threw to Keenan Allen for the 1st TD , probably only Mahomes , Rodgers and maybe Russell Wilson could make that throw. The kids legit.

some good games today. Russell Wilson is playing at a different level right now! The Pats are legit , they play KC on the road next week, should be a cracker. Dan Quinn and Adam Gase wont sleep well tonight. That could be trubiskey finished in Chicago.

Great movie alright ! The playing surface in NY is under severe pressure this week, Niners lost Bosa and Solomon Thomas for the year , and have to play on the same field again this weeks v the Giants. Players and coaches complaining about the surface before last sundays game.
A few coaches will already be under pressure for their jobs. Gase looks like a dead man walking in NY, Dan Quinn could be in diff's as well, as could Bill O'Brien. Patriots could have won that game sunday night against the Seahawks, terrible call on that last play .. Russell Wilson is a fantastic player.....

Leeds were a breath of fresh air, really enjoyable to watch. Will probably go straight back down but it'll be brilliant entertainment.

It's a pity Liverpool had to resort to that embarrassing dive in order to win.

You're a gobshite.

Deserved 3 points to Liverpool. Salah was immense. Disappointed with Bobby. Really starting to show his age. Keita was so-so for me. Jones very good when he came on. Robertson was Liverpool's 2nd best player. Outstanding defensive performance in the 2nd half. 2 clear penalties and was an outrage Virgil's goal didn't stand, leeds man tripped over his own player, never a foul. Hope Gini stays, there's not the right mix of attacking guile and defensive workrate in the remaining MFs.

Did VVD and Gomez swap positions in that 2nd half? Seemed at times Gomez played next to Robertson and VVD next to TAA. Matip very rusty when he came on. For all my praise of him he is a clumsy kind of lad. Uncomfortable on the ball and 90 mins of Leeds pressing up on him would have had him shitting bricks.

I like Jones , but he was to blame for Leeds third goal, was caught ball watching and didnt track the run from midfield. Robertson was very good , thought TAA was very poor and looked uninterested..

Probably played seriously to about 18/19 , too much other shite going on 
Football, Greenvale , Clubland , sure ya know the craic ! I was good at it, actually won the Jimmy Martin Ulster U19 when i was still 16, and never played in it again  A few regrets for sure , I think one of the last games i ever played, I made 142 total clearance in Gervins and went to the Glenavon and got steamed....

I remember seeing you those Friday nights Shane ! it was the spot to be, McGraths was arguably the nicest snooker club in the north, there was no expense spared there! Also remember hitting the Foresters on Scotch street as well when I conveniently forgot my blazer and the lip wouldnt let you in the door
Foresters Club is long gone unfortunately ....
