And De La Salle vs Ballygunner in the Waterford county final :P
Two teams hateeeee each other, last year they met Mullane got a straight red and if they had him for the extra time they woulda won, then Ballygunner went on to win the county title

This yea they met at the group stages and Ballygunner destroyed 'La Salle, but they both qualified so it meant nothing..
They'll certainly be a few broken hurleys tomorrow though

We had the Football final here last week. Don't know when the Hurling is on though. The Club Hurling is primarily a one team affair in Dublin in recent years.

Tottenham were absolute awful today and Man United managed some how to win in the last minute :mad: :mad: :mad:.

Lads.

Ronan O'Gara is a class act

As I flicked by I saw the Aviva was practically empty for the match. I didn't watch the match, so I didn't see how well O Gara played. I am now waiting for the big fight to start down in Limerick.

O'Gara only came on for the last 15 minutes, but he did well. Sexton kicked a few decent balls for field position in the first half, but was below his best over-all. Unfortunately for Ireland (but fortunate for Sexton) we had so many poor players today that he didn't stand out for it.

Sexton should be persisted with. Had nothing to work with all game. Buckley and Healy on the other hand...

Not many options to replace them though. I read the other day that John Hayes is 37, which is old in any sport, but especially rugby.

Christ no I didn't mean Hayes. He shouldn't ever be called on again. Court and Ross should be our starting props.

Court really impressed me when he came on. I still think there's a place for Mushy in the match-day squad, but he hasn't yet fulfilled the potential he showed a few years ago.

Agree I'd have either him or Healy on the bench (or both if 23 man squads are introduced at international level). Positives for Healy are that he covers loosehead with Court being able to switch to tighthead whereas Buckley has a greater impact off the bench.

Manchester derby in 25 minutes. Come on City.

De La Salle beat Sarsfields 0-22 to 2-15 extra time...
Was an alright game.... Sarsfields should have won it out though, De La Salle did well to bring it to extra time.. Those goals were a joke, Brenner should be put down for them and some of those wides...

Yeow! C'mon Sligo Rovers
Ciarán Kelly is now my hero. I've never seen a goalie save FOUR penalties in a row before!

Damn, I'm just so delighted, I thought we were going to throw it away.
I wish I was at the aviva right now!:P

Spurs -V- Arsenal tomorrow. Come on you Spurs.

unknown13

Great game and comeback by Spurs.

Aoibheann

Delighted for Spurs, it was an excellent comeback! United are winning 2-0, and Chelsea are currently 1-0 down to Birmingham. If it stays like this, United and Chelsea will be level on points (with Chelsea still top on goal difference). Keeping everything crossed.

It's a good time to be a City fan.

Murray Vs Federer at 2pm ! Going to be a brilliant match! C'mon Murray!! (I also love Federer but poor Murray deserves a win!)

Jaysis, the RTE panel weren't half harsh about Rooney tonight. Ok, so he missed some decent chances - but ye can't expect the chap to be bangin' them in first start he gets after being injured. He looked positive and confident in himself even after he missed some chances. Delighted to see him score the penalty. Only had to look at him before he took it and ye knew it was going in!

Delighted Spurs have qualified. It was a tough group in hindsight but we came through it pretty easily in the end.

In fairness, he hasn't been banging any in except from the penalty spot, for several months.

Yeah pretty much, he went on a serious goal drought this year. Not a great year at all for Rooney. The big question will be; will he break 15 or even 10 goals this season.

True enough, but I reckon we should be judging him on how he's doing now. Considering he's back from injury, like
