Read Moss Keane's book - lovely read. Bought it for the Da for Christmas, then swiped it as soon as I could get away with!
He once considered becoming a priest - and said, that he would have made a good one. "Full of compassion and altar wine". A truly great expression.... An old style giant of a man - gentle and wise and seemingly incredibly popular with one and all. Even Neil Francis had good things to say about him and he wouldn't always come across as a great fan of Munster rugby |

Leinster were superb tonight. Not an expert but something like 20 phases against them at the very end and never gave in or gave away a penalty. And Munster won as well as far as I know. |

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

30 phases and squeaky bum time at the end but great defending. Sexton from first minute shimmy was on fire. Next up, away to Connacht. |

I read that article yesterday. It really is a disgrace the way they are going on. Who designed the thing in the first place anyway. It seems mad that there are 700 from which you can see nothing. Thank God for the RDS. I was there Saturday evening for the Edinburgh match and the atmosphere was electric. |

“A scrum is formed from at least eight players from each team. They join together to close around the ball which is placed on the ground. The front row of players must be interlocking, which serves to make a tunnel between the players. The players use their feet to control the ball. A scrummage is always used to restart play after an infringement occurs.” - That is a dictionary definition. The reality is that as players have got bigger, stronger the “collision” or impact is more like trucks colliding. My understanding is that in order to lessen the “hit” the referees have tried to control the impact. A couple of years ago it was decided to instruck the scrum: ” touch”, “pause”, and “engage”. Now we have gone to ” touch” ,“pause”, “and have a cup of tea*” and then “engage”. The duration of the pause varies, and Instead of restarting the game now, in general, just leads to a free kick or a penalty. *Bob Casey of London Irish coined the phrase |

Subject: 15 good reasons why GAA is better than soccer
1) The GAA players who played in front of 82,000 + crowd at the weekend will be teaching your children, selling you meat or fixing your drains on Monday morning. The soccer player who plays in front of 80,000 will be moaning about playing too many games and will be trying to sell you his personalised brand of leisure wear 2) GAA nicknames are better. Soccer players just add a Y to their surnames 3) Dublin vs Meath is a real derby. What does Utd. Vs City mean to Berbatov or Tevez
4) How many soccer players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: 11. One to stick it in and ten to surround and kiss him after he does it 5) Soccer players go to the papers after a game. GAA players go to the pub 6) John Terry would run a mile if he came up against Francie Bellew 7) GAA teams are numbered 1-15. A soccer team reads like the lottery results. 8) All soccer players wear shin pads. Some hurlers wear helmets 9) Television runs soccer. Schoolteachers run the GAA 10) The GAA is about where you're from. Soccer is about who you like 11) No segregation at GAA games 12) No soccer team has a nickname quite as good as the Fighting Cocks of Carlow 13) Bubble perms never made it to Croke Park 14) A scoreless draw in the GAA would be quite a novelty 15) Roman Abramovich can buy the League. You can't buy Sam (Sam is the name of the All Ireland Football Champions Trophy) __________________ Edited by DONDON |

One of my heroes..............Francie.........not John Terry. Was sitting about three rows from the front of the Davin during the 2003 Final when he was marking Owen Mulligan from Tyrone.One of the best Off the Ball battles I've ever seen.

Lee Westwood is now the world number 1 ranked golfer taking over from Tiger last monday. He could however have the shortest reign as number 1 in history because it is so close at the top of the rankings - any one of 4 players (Westwood, Woods, Kaymer, Mickelson) could be number 1 by Monday if they win the big tournament in Shanghai this weekend.

Congratulations to Co. Antrim's Tony McCoy on being elected BBC Sports Personality of the year tonight. Not a big Racing fan but his career has been phenomenal,loads of winners and loads of broken bones. Congrats to my own personal favourite Sportsman, Phil Taylor, for coming second ! |
