    If anyone has booked to go and see the lights thing in dublin zoo it's probably best to burn your tickets now. Brutal.

    It says suitable for kids of all ages. This is a blatant lie. This 43 year old kid fell off it in a fcuking heap yesterday and ended up with a bruised shoulder, a busted elbow and worst of all, a damaged ego.

    I don't think they are meant for 20 stone blokes going through a mid life crisis :pac:

    Poor Paddy Evra has gotten banned until June of next year for kicking that "fan" in the head...(actually his shoulder)
    That's him retired I guess....damn fine player in his day

    It's assault, plain and simple.

    It's not even covered under "things that happen on the pitch".

    Never liked Evra, so this is nice.

    85 quid for a family of 5. Walked around for about 35 mins...not great. Thought the kids would have liked it but even they were "can we just go home".

    Definitely not worth driving up from the country for it.

    Christ, it's frustrating watching O'Mahony get his ear half ripped off and playing on, immediately followed by the soccer players falling all over the place at the slightest breeze. Scarleh for them.

    I doubt it. Usually takes a day or two before somebody uploads it.

    Edit: Grab it while it's hot: ;)

    Haha, I just tuned into the NI match late and there's 43 minutes gone and they're talking about that penalty decision. Have they talked about it this whole time?!

    Disappointing result. A lot to admire about the North tonight but just not quite good enough. Gutting that a decision as awful as that penalty is the difference

    No Italy at the soccer World Cup. I’ll miss those classic 1-0 nick a goal and defensive wall approach to football. Still I can always watch paint dry.

    Italy must be in mourning

    Tbh it’s a bit of a shame. Always liked Italy.

    11 years ago they won the World Cup and now they haven’t even qualified, an astronomical fall really.

    Pirlo, Del Piero, Maldini, Baggio, Totti, Nesta, Materazzi, Cannavarro, Baresi.

    How can a nation that produces those sorts of players suddenly dry up and fail to qualify entirely?

    For those of you who don’t understand the round ball game it’s like South Africa not qualifying for a rugby World Cup.
