what a relief... total bottlers again.

Has Eamo said Pogba was shite yet?

He was impressed by how hard he worked tonight. His raving was about not rating Roberto Martínez as a manager and said that Brazil should have beaten Belgium 6-2

Very strange taking off Fellaini I thought.

Was crazy when they only needed one goal. I'd have thought they'd go agricultural and throw Fellaini, Lukaku and maybe Kompany up top for the last 10 minutes and plough balls into them. Doesn't look the best but it's effective as f**k.

they did that for a right while but with the French defence was like throwing dubes-dubes to a bear.

Anyone who spends any brain power trying to not call it the Super 8s are pedantic fools.

Roscommon man buys into last eight hype... been a long time 

Since 2017, maybe?

well done... no-one noticed ; )

[Technically they are in the Quarter Finals as the "Super 8" is a media term.]

6 of the 8 were in last year's Quarter Finals too.

Yeah... that's kind of the point.

Super 8 sounds more like it was inspired by SKY... super Sunday and all that

he is democratically elected. last Presidential election however was poisonous.

I hope he stays on. He's a great ambassador for this country and cares deeply about our culture and language.A man of integrity.

RIP Michael. Tragic stuff once again for the Dunlop family.

On the sport. It is bat shit crazy and dangerous in the extreme but nobody outside of the sport has ANY right to tell these guys how to live their lives. What they are doing is 100% legal and that is not going to change. If this is what they want to be at then that is their choice and nobody else's.

Why do people who are not involved in road racing or who don't know the unfortunate casualties of the sport want to ban a sport that has no connection with them?

Yeah... just because you've no interest in road racing means you should be happy for people to die in the prime of their lives doing kamikaze shit!!

Next time a policeman pulls me over for not wearing a seatbelt I'll tell him to f**k off he doesnt understand the thrill I get from it and it's none of his business!

Road bike racing is a f**king death wish and why it's still allowed in this day and age is beyond me. There are tracks for that kind of thing where deaths are much less common. 33 deaths in the Isle of Man and 11 in the North in the last decade.

But yeah anybody who doesn't understand bike racing shouldn't be allowed to comment on all the dying... wise up!!!

The policeman could rightly point out to you that not wearing a seat belt is against the law.

Road-racing however is completely legal and will remain so.

How many people have died whilst on a bicycle in Ireland in the same decade?

I would guess for the numbers out cycling every day compared to road racing the death rate per centage would be miniscule.

where was it on? I didn't see it.

With Tyrone's record at Healy park so abysmal, I can see Harte asking the county board to move it to clones. A venue dublin wouldn't have any history with and it has a good surface compared to the burnt bog that is Healy park

Dubs beat Derry in a backdoor championship game in Clones in 2003. Was thousands of Dublin supporters there and a great atmosphere.

SKY needs to be kicked into touch.

Why??

GAA games shouldn't be behind an exclusive pay wall

SKY needs to be kicked into touch.

Yes, our arrogance is intact, and bejaysus without it we'd have won nothing-- suffice it to say that, thon arrogance notwithstanding, should we fail to beat the Rossies next day out, then we can kiss all 2018 aspirations goodbye.

No condescension, just hard, unforgiving reality.

I don't think arrogance is the right attitude for Tyrone at the moment. Last year it built up into a big fall.  Also in the league the mojo was absent until mid February.
I think this was on RTE  : "the ability to mix your game and ask a variety of questions of opponents is what sets the very best teams apart". That might justify arrogance. But Tyrone are not there yet. 

I agree about losing to the Rossies and the implications.

Tyrone arent All Ireland material. Might beat Roscommon and have  a chance against Donegal now that McBrearty is out but not within a country mile of Dublin or Kerry. Doubt if they would Galway either.

Take your relentless negativity and shove it up you know where! You know, this sort of shite polluted my mind long before you ever saw a ball, longballin. 

Tell you what we'll revisit this in three weeks and see. Last year was similar abuse when peeps said Dublin would beat Tyrone and we saw how that went.. but sure you're the expert.

Aye, keep your wise counsel until then, and I'll raise a jar to you. One thing I won't be engaging in is this self-flagellating self-submissive crap -- spare me those details, please.

Exactly, Tyrone played the roll over and get your belly tickled role for most of my early time following them to Croke Park or to play any Southern team- now we go to play them with our chests puffed out expecting to turn them over and they don't like it. We heard all that negative stuff for far too long, God knows I was the most pessimistic Tyrone fan during the 1980s and 90s and was proved right nearly all the time. Its no skill to claim that your team is going to get beaten at some point ffs. Enjoy these days when we are competing there or there abouts and don't sniff at big victories over the likes of Cork, regardless of how bad they may be. In fact, look at them and think what you can easily become if you take your eye off the ball.

Thats well put Benny. Food for thought. I hope Tyrone go and give it a lash and if they die at least die with their boots on. You know what I'm talking about. But yeah it's a different year so okay fair enough...

Can't speak until you say so... lol!! 

Only if you really insist, but sure why not -- go on, go on

Thanks
