Have been watching a lot of Wimbledon over the last few days. Yesterday's Djokovic vs Del Potro was a fantastic match. The third set was the best tennis I have ever seen. I had been hoping for a Del Potro win though so was left a bit disappointed. Either player would have been a deserving winner though.

Now just sitting down to Ladies' Final. Hoping for a Lisicki win today. I love the power and speed she plays with and she looks like she enjoys her time on court more than most which carries over to the viewers. Hopefully it'll be a good match anyway.

Watching Lisicki on the verge of tears half way through that match, uh so sad. Sucha good player but completely bottled it.
Good comeback near the end but I wasn't really expecting her to break Bartoli's serve twice..

Oh well.

H'ON THE MINORS

Last night was just.. remarkable. Unreeeeeal match. Rare a team concedes four goals and still wins :P

FF is back up and running, can you please PM me your team name, if I don't get a PM from you by the middle of September, I'll delete you off the league!

Anyone who was to join, let me know and I'll PM you the code!

I'm not upset over losing, tbh. If you'd told me last season that Dublin would beat Kilkenny and Galway, and would get to an All Ireland semi-final and only lose by five points, I would have told you that you were crazy. They didn't disgrace themselves at all!

Also, boo Dublin. (I don't really care, but I just would have liked Mayo to win because Dublin people are unbearable when they win anything)

That was a soul destroying ending. I'm done for the day after that.

wnolan1992 · 24-11-2013 4:59pm

I broke skin on my hand in three places when I slammed it down in frustration at the try. I also heard the people stop talking in the apartment upstairs when I shouted "F*CK!!" at the top of my voice.

Cruel, cruel ending. But I guess, on balance, NZ deserved it for sheer perseverance and... stuff.

Junco Partner · 24-11-2013 5:06pm

the two questioned passes and the retaking of the conversion just dragged out the crushing of the soul.

The passes were just clearly not forward but it still just kept a tiny glimmer of hope in you just to crush you all over again.

And then that ****e with the conversion was just painful.

Jhcx · 24-11-2013 5:11pm

where did we go wrong. Off to a great first half and all. Was driving through the town could see people holding their heads as if it was thirty head about to be kicked and I knew it was all over.

. Maybe next time.

I have never been more uninterested in an Olympic Games, than I have been for this basket case in Sochi.

wnolan1992 · 08-02-2014 1:14pm

Winter Olympics != Olympics

:P

But yeah, this is looking like it's going to be an unmitigated disaster. Fifty one BILLION well spent. :rolleyes:

LoonyLovegood · 08-02-2014 1:24pm

I'm actively avoiding discussion of it. It just seems like a waste of time, money and effort.

pajor · 08-02-2014 1:26pm

But I'm enjoying stories like these immensely. :pac:

I know it's a bit late but just think it should be noted that the Ireland v Wales games was absolutely outstanding to watch. Sheer domination by the lads!

I was planning on going to the Galway FC match tonight, I'm currently glad I didn't, it's lashing out! Still, looking forward to having a LOI team in Galway again

Ye had two LOI teams in Galway last year, now ye only have one! :P

A *proper* one. Fahy's Field was not nice to be going to on a Friday night! Dalyer is still my spiritual home.

If Ireland lose today, I'm blaming the abomination that is that "Ireland's Call" bollox for it.

:P

(It's funny because I'm only half joking...)

Bricking it.

Come on Ireland!

iamanengine · 22-02-2014 6:07pm

Very tough 1st half for us, great start to the second though!!

wnolan1992 · 22-02-2014 6:15pm

I flick away for 15 seconds to check the soccer scores and this happens. Fack!

Heart in throat stuff!

My sister has an English bf. I hope she lets him know where to shove his smugness.

wnolan1992 · 22-02-2014 6:57pm

I've been saying this would happen all week. It always happens when we get cocky and start acting like victory is a sure thing (which is basically what all the media were doing this week).

Ireland were poor enough today in fairness. England deserved the victory. (It kills me to say that btw)

It was more about the whole last home game thing.

Last week was his last home game, this week is his last game in an Ireland shirt. In two weeks it's his last Munster derby in the regular season and possibly his last game in the Aviva. Then it's his last HC quater final and after that it could be his last trip to ravenhill.

And so on and so forth.

wnolan1992 · 15-03-2014 3:02pm

G'wan Italy! Celebrated that try more than I've celebrated Irish victories in the past few weeks. :pac:
