Croatia to win it. Come on the small nations. What a great story these lads are.

Ireland won a silver in the high jump in Finland. Summer Lecke a future star.

I'm torn between that and wanting France and Mpappe to absolutely own it. Early days but Croatia have started pretty well.

You were always my favourite mod.

Ah brilliant goal by Perisic. Game well and truly on.

Kerry v Galway is pure slurry...

bilston

Very harsh VAR call

Synode

Croatia with 61% possession. Don't know how France are in the lead. Didn't think their first goal was a free but want to see it again

I think there was contact on Griezmann but he had already slipped and was going down

Yeah there's a good angle from behind. Contact came after he'd started falling. He bought it

Synode

That's that then. Well done to France

Good lads Galway!

Dire first half, the end of it was exciting though!

First win over Kerry since ‘65

Sasha Baron Cohen's new show isn't bad. First half I got a bit bored and was going to skip but the last segment on gun control was breathtaking stuff, 20% funny 80% depressing.

Worth watching for the last segment. Almost essential viewing just to see how legitimately f**ked parts of America are. I'll definitely watch the next one!

Oh my god, listening to those senators and congressmen is actually the scariest thing I have ever watched. America is so f@*ked up it’s not even funny. That they would quote “scientific facts” off a teleprompter, without even questioning the veracity of the claims and do so with complete sincerity is unfathomable.

Sprint or at least try a try isn't that difficult. Would 750m swim/20k bike/5k be a problem. Supersprint/try a tri is half each distance.

I could give a decent shot at the bike and the run of that distance, albeit in a slow time. The swim would probably be the biggest issue for me.

A sprint definitely sounds more doable than a triathlon, but with a baby on the way I don't think it will happen anytime soon

Excellent news young man!

Congrats!

I have an hysterical daughter on me right now. 60 minutes of solid crying, won’t take a bottle. She has finally nodded off and I’m petrified to move an inch!

It’s great fun, I promise.

What set her off in the first place? Did you show her a picture of Les Kiss again?

Ha!

From about three months she has refused to take a bottle from anyone. Which means when my wife has to go to an appointment it is a pain in the arse.

And she’s been awake now for nearly four fecking hours so she’s properly grumpy.

Congrats b.gud. Personally I've no idea what awec is on about. I had my little one sitting down watching the Crusaders on Saturday morning while the wife got a lie in. It's a breeze.

I lied of course. It's not a breeze. But it's not that bad either.

When you say she refuses to take a bottle from anyone, does that include your wife? Or is she still being breast-fed?


My eldest refused to be weaned. Would go berserk if we tried to give him a bottle. Eventually two of my brothers took it on themselves to play the "there's no other show in town" game with the bottle, with me and my wife exiled from the vicinity for the duration of the struggle. It worked. After a few, very fraught hours.
