Generally dont like talking about stuff like this but lost my gandmother on sunday and just made me think how she was the one who fostered my love for wrestling. She would just let me sit for hours watching it even tho she thought it was rubbish and would buy me all the figures which i still have and paased down to my nephew.

Just shows that even something like wrestling can bring a family together and bring a lifetime of memories.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you and your family are keeping well.

Gutted for NI that they couldn't beat the Swiss last night.

Delighted with the rugby result and impressed with some of the new guys. The boks never turned up

The soccer in fairness was a pile of **** and both teams are terrible tbh but it's a must win game now on Tuesday (lucky to have a ticket). A score draw will put Denmark through so we have too win, 0-0 will put it ET.

Heard the result of the international rules but didn't see it. Not good for us

Was better than the Denmark/Ireland match anyways, despite the loss.

It was 93 minutes of rubbish..

A Rogue Hobo

I thought it was an awful performance personally. We were lucky to get the draw, had Denmark been a bit more clinical thry could have easily been walking into Dublin with a 2 goal advantage. Defence at times looked leaky, which considering we base our whole game around relying on defending isn't the greatest omen. Brady, Hendrick and Arter in particular were very poor. Randolph basically kept us in the tie. Smash and grab job once again on Tuesday it seems is our only hope.

ShagNastii

Entertaining game thus far.

The Danes are looking impressive. Great final 15mins from ROI. Since Randolph and Christy have earned their place in the side their performances have been fantastic.

Angron

I expected Ireland to beat South Africa, what I didn't expect was South Africa to be so utterly awful during the game.

Bounty Hunter

Just watched a very comfortable victory over South Africa in the rugby now for the football. Think I'm going to struggle to stay awake late enough to finish it but at least O'Neil has picked an attacking team, hopefully we can get an away goal.

Heard from Sirsok that it's pretty much a two Horse race in Kilkenny between Evergreen and Freebooters?
Janesboro would be the best bet from Limerick in my opinion, St. Michael's will be favourites too.

Thomastown who beat Shamrock Rovers in the Leinster Senior cup in February would also be strong but its between those three I'd say.

Saw that Usher Celtic knocked them out. Never heard of Usher Celtic before so thats a big surprise. Hopefully Evergreen or one of the other Kilkenny teams can get to the final again this season.

Pretty much any and all! Sheriff YC, the winners of the FAI Junior Cup for the last two years and four of the last six, were knocked out tonight so I'm a bit more hopeful for a Limerick side winning it out.

Nervous about 2morrows games

Rugby could go either way but it's nice to see some new guys get a run out like Aki and Stockdale. South Africa have improved a lot and will be up for the challenge

The soccer is the one most of us have been looking forward too and can't wait for it myself. We need a score draw or a win, a 0-0 will be as bad as a Danish win. Our away record had been good this campaign (2 draws and 3 wins) but our luck is bound to run out sometime

I had an unpleasant experience a little while ago while looking after my Dad's dog. It's a cocker spaniel, and a young one too. About a month ago it had a seizure that really freaked my Dad out as he was there with him at the time. He took him to the vet and they ran a bunch of blood tests to see if it was epilepsy. They couldn't find anything wrong with the tests so they recommended a special food for the dog - but no medication - and told my Dad to monitor things. There weren't any fits since...until...

Today I was looking after the dog while my Dad went out. Things seemed fine and the dog was in good spirits. I was sat on the couch flicking through my phone and the dog had his head resting on my leg. Next thing I know the dog lifts his head up in a strange way, almost like he was in a trance, and I knew something was wrong. Within seconds he goes into a full body seizure, limbs jerking, teeth exposed, foaming at the mouth. I was scared he was going to die right in front of me.

I'd been told that it was a good idea to throw a coat over a dog in this situation as the darkness is soothing for them or something. Well, my coat was outside the room and I didn't want to leave him, so I took off my shirt and threw it over him and just started chucking any random bit of clothes from the nearby radiator over him! Yes, I panicked.

There was a moment where he was looking at me like he didn't know who I was which was unsettling. He then came to his senses and started panting like mad. He began trotting all over the house like he couldn't stay still. I told my Dad who then rang the vet and the vet says now he might need medication and it might be epilepsy after all (but the tests said it wasn't so that confuses me).

I'm hoping the dog doesn't have a brain tumour as I heard that can be a possible cause of seizures if it isn't epilepsy. I'm not around the dog now but I got a call to say he looks fine enough. I'd hate if this becomes a regular thing as I've read some worrying accounts of dogs that have a bad seizure and aren't the same afterwards. I know someone that had to put a dog down over something like that, although it was an old dog.

Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest. Has anyone ever had a similar experience with this type of thing? I don't want to have to hear about or see something like that again.

Hope the dog will be ok

I think Wilder will give AJ a run for his money

That match could save boxing

Heavyweight is as puch politics as skills. Wilder had over 25 bouts in the 09 to 12 period to build up an undefeated record.

Joshua had a nice early run to build up his.

I expect they will talk a lot, for a long while about fighting before they ever do.

And Trump's response was it wasn't a gun issue. It was a mental health issue.
And someone else said if people were allowed to carry guns in the church, it would've helped.
So yeah, this won't help in the campaign for gun control

Yeah, I saw that they weren't sure if it was the local, or self-inflicted, but you're absolutely right if it was the local guy.

Big day of sport next Sat

17.30 the rugby Ireland vs South Africa then the 1st leg of the WC play off between Denmark and Rep of Ireland at 19.45. If ur still up the international rules is on at 5am Sunday morning (I'll be recording it myself lol).

Not a huge fan of the international rules but will watch it. Loved when they were allowed kick the crap out of each other lol. At the end of the day it's professional athlete's vs Amueters

Would love too see the Republic make the world cup finals but it's going to be a hard ask. We need to get a positive result in Denmark and them try and finish then off at home. Heading up myself on the 14th

Apparently (not sure how true it is)a lot of youth will be used by Joe Smit for these autumn internationals and would be nice to win them all and show what world rugby are missing out on giving the Boks the WC in 2023.

Lived with a lad from Wigan for a year and he couldn't give two sh*ts when Wigan got into the Premiership because for him and most of his mates back home it was all about Rugby league. Good sport and I've enjoyed playing it in the past despite being a union guy.

Never got disliking one sport cos you like another be it league/union or the more common one you see of soccer/rugby (the lads on the soccer board can be terrible for that - jump down a lads throat for asking if game times clash cos heaven forbid you want to watch both). It always annoyed me when growing up when I heard people use the terms kiss ballers (soccer) or egg chasers (Rugby).
