“It’s big Brian Begley - he can bury Waterford…!”
What a day that was. Lost the rag with Seamus Roche after one of his many appalling decisions against us, lucky I wasn’t thrown into Mountjoy for what I called him.
10 years ago, fucking hell. 
I forgot all about this muck… Lolz… Lolz… Lolz.
Hahahaha
Fucking delighted.

If this doesn’t command a “nice post” rating then I don’t know what’s wrong with the world.
Tonight showed the the awful coaching of ball handling skills in Wexford Gaelic football.

It was like watching Limerick hurling at times with sexton in the mark foley role of hitting it as far into the sky as you can
Ah here, Rashers had a bit of skill about him in fairness.
Call the Cops(ey).
We got five unbelievable goals that day and Dan the Man got none!

Hilarious stuff from Gerry Thornley on the front of the Irish Times supplement setting out the frankly bizarre circumstances in which these Irish failures might still win the “Championship”.

That’s a very churlish post.

The Schmidt factor surely gets a reference as it does in every Scruffy Thornley piece?
8 wins (2 against Italy, 1 against Canada), 1 draw and 8 defeats for Ireland in the last 17 internationals. Truly awful stone age back line play devoid of any creativity or flair.

Not true.
It was the one part of rugby that entered most our lives. I was in no way into rugby till i met some rugby friends in my teens, however the 5 Nations was always watched and enjoyed. And many many other “gah” and soccer people have mentioned the same. I have great memories of the team in mid to early 80’s watching it at home.
It was kinda like Wimbeldon or Tour De France. A kinda fleeting interest.

Exactly, well put with the Wimbledon/ TDF comparison. I have no memory or couldn’t have given a fuck about playing touring Southern Hemisphere teams or Munster playing Leinster in front of two men and their dogs or Lions tours or anything else but when the 5 nations games were live on sports stadium you’d be planked in front of it unless you had a match yourself, you might even chance a game yourself afterwards if one of the lads had a plastic ball or a replica American football, this is the rugby that lads my age grew up on.

Bradley to Kiernan, drop goal on, drop goal tried, drop goal good.
Those commentaries must have been repeated over and over on RTE because I can still remember them vividly.
