I completely forgot about the draws, thanks for posting them up.
And call me crazy but I think Dublin Clare could be a good game..

Offaly vs. Limerick.
Lads, deja vu of '08 or could we be in for a close one like in the league? Best we could have asked for tbh.

soccymonster · 28-06-2010 02:24PM

Oooh yea they went on to play us then.. Fairness we nearly lost to them too, but got 2 last minute goals.. :pac:

I actually think Offaly might be a little under rated, like theyre not gonna beat the big names but they can give them a good game.. Like who woulda thought they'd do so well against Galway!

soccymonster · 28-06-2010 02:32PM

Yea, I don't think we'll win but then again I didn't think we'd win an all-ireland anyways. Since it is Offaly v. Limerick, is it gonna be played in tullamore?

suitcasepink · 28-06-2010 02:44PM

Errmm I think it will, unless they have it as a double header with another game:)

soccymonster · 28-06-2010 02:55PM

Looks like it's in tullamore from aertel

Bus for me up then!

I wanted Limerick. Ah well it is probably going to a 46A or 145 trip into Croker possibly for a double header with the hurlers and footballers. It better be that because Football is my favorite of the two but Dublin / Clare is a much competitive game.

soccymonster · 28-06-2010 03:50PM

Everyone wanted limerick :pac:

jumpguy · 28-06-2010 04:08PM

Anyone see the Netherlands goalkeeper just make a savage save...with his face? :P

Both Roddick and Hewitt out of Wimbledon.:( It's Federer all the way from here on.:)

Insect Overlord · 28-06-2010 08:48PM

That was a beautiful goal by Robinho.
So good to watch.

Aw no!
I've been so busy today I forgot all about Wimbledon!:( Wanted Roddick to win! Ah well...C'Mon Nadal!:)

I love Andy Murray and Nadal. Also I really hope one of the Williams sisters doesn't win. Enough already!

I like Nadal, but I hate Murray with a passion! I just think he's a snobby git tbh!:eek::pac:

Love those Serbs though!

Ally7 · 28-06-2010 10:06PM

Wimbledon will be unbearable for the next couple of years if Murray wins, the BBC will never let anyone forget it! I'd like to see nadal win this year personally.

unknown13 · 28-06-2010 11:10PM

Hearing reports the Dubs are getting a Double header in Croker, hurlers first and footballers second. Makes sense to me, especially if they want to try to kick hurling off in Dublin

The crap thing bout it is, if, and its a big if, I'm not working that day, theres already another thing lined up for me to work at, so will have to miss it all. Would go see the hurling match, even if mainly there for Tipp football.

+1. While Murray is undoubtedly the best player Britain has produced for years, he is unbearably arrogant for a guy who has yet to win a grand slam. Even the way he acts when he's on court makes me want to punch him in the face. Genuinely hope he NEVER wins any grand slam. Compare him to Federer, who is possibly the greatest man ever to play the game and who still comes across as a humble, likeable guy.

syncosised · 29-06-2010 12:28PM

Come on, Andy! Andy Murray's being doing very well so far, he hasn't dropped a set. Very un-Murray like. I'll shout for him until the semi-finals, because he can't do better than Tim Henman!

Insect Overlord · 29-06-2010 04:51PM

Japan -v- Paraguay is going to extra time.

I'd put money on penalties too, if I were a betting man.
Hardly any goal-chances so far.

Bobalicious93 · 29-06-2010 05:24PM

Does anyone know if clean sheet points in fantasy football apply just to 90 minutes? I've got a Japanese defender, if they concede now will he still get the clean sheet points?

Actually, Federer, while being known as a polite and gentleman-ly type in the sport, is also quite well known for being quite bitchy when players tend to have a good record against him or are doing well. I've seen him being quite insulting towards some very talented players in interviews and tbh it made me lose a lot of respect for him. You can say as may things as you like about Murray, but he'll always be honest (to the point of bluntness, which is why many people don't like him!)! :P

Also, for arrogance on court.. Remember the old saying "Act as if until you are"? You have to act like a winner to be one eventually!

This, except I'll be cheering him into the final and hopefully a win! I've been following him since he was a junior and he's definitely more than capable of getting a grand slam title - if he wins one, I think he'll go on win a few, especially the hard court slams (U.S. and Australian Open).

It's worth pointing out that even Djokovic has only won one grand slam title.

Loosing on penalties is the worst to way in the whole of sports.
