    Can we not just give out about him on this thread instead?

    If you want, but if the Mods give out to you for being off-topic don't blame me.

    Ask Jim Gavin about the fight with Armagh. He's still not talking to Colm Parkinson after he asked him about it.

    It's not half as bad when you have the Andy Lee fight in the corner of your laptop screen.

    Does that VT for Paulie not look like the same one from the People of the year awards?

    They look completely identical to one another.

    Jays, it'd be gas if Michael used the live TV to send a "video message" to Joe Joyce, like they did a few months back .

    Just switched on

    Now: a question for fans of Irish sport (fingers on buzzers...)

    Name the manager of the Northern Irish Soccer team...

    Quickly now - he is supposedly the best manager in the country. A real household name.

    Seriously, he is.

    Fair play to him.

    He was born in Portadown, Co Armagh, but raised in Ballymena, Antrim. Antrim at its closest point is 13 miles from Scotland.

    We'll leave it at that for the minute.

    Dundalk FC

    Team of the Year

    "It's amazing really..."

    Well that's an understatement

    I think Lewis Hamilton's Car should win sports personality of the year.
    Or maybe Venus William's tennis racket.

    At this rate anything is possible

    Dundalk are much more worthy winners. What Stephen Kenny has done with them has been amazing.

    Yes, kudos to the world champion in the audience. Would have been fairly disgraceful to give it some bogballer or muck-savage with a hurl.... or god bless us all, a foreigner :)

    Team 8. Men's hockey team. They achieved what no Irish hockey team has achieved before. None of the other teams can say that. They have set up a great future for Irish hockey.

    Rather surprised Conor McGregor didn't win the main award. I like Conlon but McGregor is way more high profile these days......I'm guessing there's scarcely a kid or teenager in the country who knows Conlon is.

    That's a pretty ignorant insult to the likes of Henry Shefflin. Michael Conlan deserves the individual award. He would be my choice. But I can say it without being boorish.

    i'd say the fact that tv3 have the ufc fights is part of the reason
