Most Yoga classes are most definitely an excellent workout, even moreso with types like Vinyasa, you've obviously never attended one!

i accept its a workout as well as Pilates but how is it a sport ?

Jesus, this thread has gone down a bizarre rabbit hole over the last few days.

Anyone enjoy the interview with Colin O'Brien

Yeah, thought it was pretty good.
There were a few questions I thought he was fluffy enough on answering - mostly around a consistent style of play - but generally seems like a decent chap.
I think coaches like to portray that there are all working towards a consistent style of play in every age group etc - however the suggestion by Ken that surely the styles of play change with new managers (at senior level) was very appropriate.

"The Night King of the tactics twats"
What a title for Jonathan Wilson

Had a surreal moment earlier cycling home, listening to Ken and Eoin yapping away on the pod when I looked to my left and they were walking straight past me down the road.

how many subscribers have a genuine interest in women's football??

tHE vAGGABOND · 02-05-2019 11:34AM

How many give [or gave] a rats ass about what is happening before the baseball or in US college sports seasons before Murf talked about it

probably a lot more than ever cared or ever will care about ladies rugby, soccer, GAA etc

tHE vAGGABOND · 02-05-2019 12:14PM

Any other types of people you dont want to hear about, or is it just women... [Just wondering like ?]

ah I see what you did there...

You took a disinterest in ladies' team sports to mean a disinterest in women.

That's cool bro... I think that means you win the internet today.

Do you have any logic or rationale behind this stance, or are you just embracing your inner Nostradamus?

I suppose that was on the absolute side. Sure who knows what team sports will look like in a century from now....

Anyone think Delaney is talking waffle about the game last night?

30 years ago, top level rugby in this country was a load of pot-bellied solicitors and stick-legged accountants in the backs and a few beefy farmers in the forwards, being administered by their dandruff-bespeckled, dypsomaniac uncles. Give the girls a chance, maybe they'll be the next shower of unbearable self-congratulators.

It's hard to avoid these days but no matter how much I'm told I should be interested in it, I just can't muster an interest in it.

It’s awful. We’re all supposed to buy into it, it’s being rammed down our throats. Even other women don’t have an interest in it.

Thought his reason for why he would choose Ronaldo over Messi was flawed anyway. Just because Ronaldo would be better than Messi in a team of donkeys. What kind of reasoning is that?

Still Ill · 02-05-2019 08:24PM

Maybe the skill level will pick up in the next few years with the influx of transgender players.

Thought he explained himself fairly clearly.

Ivefoundgod · 02-05-2019 10:39PM

Didn't think Delaney was great on it either, his analysis of the Spurs games was even worse I thought. I sort of understand what he meant about Ronaldo/Messi but if he thinks Messi wouldn't have much impact playing for Waterford in the LOI then he's crazy. He'd run amok, same as Ronaldo would.

Cienciano · 02-05-2019 10:46PM

Glad I skipped the Damien Delaney bit. Messi v Ronaldo, ffs, it's been done to death. It's like apple vs android, even the fanboys are sick of it

Lansdowne Road was full for Ireland games so they were getting around 44K in for what was a completely amateur game then.

Clearly, but also idiotically. His way to separate and choose which is best would be who would do best up front for a long ball non-passing team.
Andy Carroll would do better than either of them in that scenario.

In fairness that was only a small part of it, the majority of the conversation was not that. Personally, I thought he was grand I don't really know why people are complaining.

Beersmith · 03-05-2019 06:36AM

Not his fault he was asked the question by Eoin.

Jesus the nit picking here is crazy for a few lined answer which he actually just said they are both unbelievable.

He used the phrase spins balls down the side quite a few times. And was talking about how Barca make it so hard by dominating the ball but Liverpool had more of it than Barca, I was convinced he hadnt seen the game at one stage.
