The match was amazing! Atmosphere was just brillant Disappointed they lost in the last few minutes and thought they deserved to win but fair play to Cork all the same.

Yeah Stade Francais wear all the funky kits in rugby.

:eek:

You'd think taking LSD would be banned in rugby, but apparently whoever designs Stade's kits is permanently stuck in the flower power era! :pac:
The one on the top left is actually pretty damn cool.

COME ON KILDARE!

City being City. This is heartening for clubs who don't opt to fill their team with money-hungry mercenaries.

So disappointed for Kildare.
And I think the final shots of Johnny Doyle on the pitch spoke it all.

Although you could say the goal in the 1st half was a square ball, Down did deserve to win on overall performance.
Kildare could have won it had they not kicked so many wides.

Devastating loss for Kildare yesterday. It's hard not to have serious doubts about GAA officials after the performances this year.

There's no doubt about it,it definitely was a square ball.

Lads 'everz bout the gaa what about Pakistan in the Cricket eh?
The vain of the cricketing world ya just couldnt put it past them...
I was listening on the radio earlier though, had to laugh "It is very suspect from the way they played Australia and dropping the ball 3 times in a row, but when they lost to Ireland we do feel it was legit"
Easy know an Irishman was talking :P

Very quiet in here! Weird!

3 points in the bag for Ireland yesterday, hopefully three more come Tuesday!

It's funny, only the big GAA games seem to provoke any real chat in this thread!

Yeah, great result for Ireland yesterday. Shame about the performance though. They clearly weren't prepared for the test Armenia gave them.

So....All-Ireland Final tomorrow!:D

Heart in mouth at one stage with Dunne heading just over his own crossbar!

Shefflin is starting tomorrow according to the news

I'm sorry but I really don't believe he could have had that cruciate knee injury if he's recovered so fast.
Took him over 10 months or so to recover after the one he sustained in 07 against Limerick.

He's been named on the starting line up already

He isnt 100% without a doubt.
Tipp should make him change direction over an over

reports from training say he was going at about 60-70% there, but was minding himself.

Ah lads.
The excitement is building in my house.
I even made monkey bread for it

See, this is the thing, the performance to me was very encouraging.

It's exactly the sort of game Ireland always struggle in, where they'd usually end up just not knowing what to do, getting desperate, doing stupid things, and end up dropping points. But it was different this time, they kept plugging away, Doyle was causing havoc in their defence, and something was going to come from him eventually, so they kept at it.
And you have to remember, if Keane had simply been on form at all, we would've won by 3 or 4.

Armenia are a young, fast side, and they looked dangerous on the break, and I can guarantee you neither Russia nor Slovakia will go there and win comfortably. Portugal went there recently and drew, with Ronaldo in the side, Spain went there in the last qualifying group and only won 2-1. They're not pushovers by any means.

Tuesday however, I'm expecting a more one-sided scoreline.

I agree - Keane missed a sitter at one stage, but it was great to see them win with a clean sheet. Too many times last year they were up with five minutes to go and the opposition coming back to score in additional time

Good post Bob, you make some very decent points. I'll get back to you about the soccer later.

This hurling final is absolutely brilliant so far!
