Baby BOD born - great for him - not for us.

But a baby girl comes first - what a stroy starting.

Any weird animal stories?
Yesterday picked my sons missing cat from 17 miles away...
It seems it warmed itself too long under next doors car.

Cheap cat then legged it off away without paying a fare!

Sky-diving hamsters, anyone?

very bad day for Irish Rugby, getting beaten and several important players injured. Tough times ahead.

It's amazing how one bad day in international rugby can have such an effect on the medium to long term outlook of a team!

Last week we were potential grand slam winners!
This week, Kidney is on his last legs and a lot of players are only half the men they were last week.

Not criticizing anyone for making such judgement, it's the nature of the beast, I'd say it's some beast to be involved with...
We were a converted try away from being red hot favourites for the 6 nations.
This morning, Irish rugby is in turmoil.

but on that one day the team has lost 4 or 5 of its top players which weakens the team overall.

Oh ya, I wasn't having a go at all and wasn't really talking specifically about Ireland or the injury crisis.
I was referring International rugby in general....the pressure of it all....how quickly a manager, coach, team can be viewed in a different light.

France were hot favorites before Italy, 160 mins of rugby later, they're in dire straights.
There are not many sports out there that afford such little margin for error in such a short period of time.

Very unlucky with the injuries yesterday, at least we're playing Scotland on a Sunday. It still amazes me every time they mention the fact that Euan Murray won't play with them on a Sunday.

Couldn't agree more. Way too busy. Much preferred the older one.

Every time I log in there are almost as many, if not more, guests viewing the board as there are members.

Come on Guests - create an account and come in and say hi.

Nope, but they're cut from the same cloth.
Ger Gilroy is weekends.
He started Off The Ball with Eoin McDevitt... Probably a decade or so ago.
He moved on and Mc Devitt stayed and was joined by Ken Early, Ciaran Murphy and a few more.

It was a cracking show.

Apparently there was a fall out between management and the team over bringing the show from 7pm to 6pm.

RTE will have the cheque books out

Thats a cracking show. Can't believe Newstalk will let them walk out the door. Not much out there for them though......2FM maybe?

Their options are fairly limited alright, it would be unlikely that they would be welcomed in any of O'Brien's other stations.

Pretty much over to the national broadcaster then.

He is an attention seeking idiot. Constantly trying to get himself into the headlines.
Loved him so much in the past but he is an absolute Plonker these days and has been shown up to be the shocking manager he is.

From watching other Man Utd matches with him presenting, he seems to have an obvious dislike for Nani. If it was any number of other players, we would have been saying it was a poor decision.

I was always one of his biggest backers over the years.
Last night was the straw that broke the camels back, can't defend him in the slightest anymore.

The irony of it all indeed.

Sitting in studio with Southgate... I wonder if this crossed their minds
