He’s some fucking size anyway

Haven’t a clue he doesn’t have much of a profile these days

I recently got Disney+ and I’ve rewatched a couple,
Little big men (about the 1982 Little league World Series) is a great show, nice and short as well.
Doc and Darryl is enjoyable, for me anyway as I spent three of those summers in NY and was a huge mets fan

Just watched this. Very enjoyable alright. I think the line thay summed up Hinault the best was that he never went into politics because he never cared about anyone other than himself.

Lemond was and continues to be a great bit of stuff. Sadly my view of him as a kid was tainted by the jingoistic fervour surrounding Roche, but it’s lovely to look back now and see what a truly incredible man he was. A legend of sport, and giant of a more beautiful time in cycling.

How so? He missed the '87 tour and Roche was on a steady decline qhen he was at his peak.

Worse again to look back now and realse wgat a massive cheating cunt Roche was. I was his biggest fan at the time.

Eh I was a kid and wanted Roche to win it all. Same with Kelly and yea, he was

As was I but Delgado was the cunt to hate. By the time Lemond reemerged Roche succumbed to injury. Withdrew from one and might not have entered another which Lemond won.

Kelly didnt have it in the legs for the mountain stages.

Lemond was a great story coming back from the injury and giving two fingers to the French cunts that wanted Fignon to win at all costs.

Where can I watch best of enemies?

Don’t think it’s on Disney plus…

I can see it on ESPN+ here but you’ll need a VPN to access.

ESPN Player (International) used to have it. I assume they do a free into offer.

Blowing The Whistle - RTE documentary following referees Pat McEneaney and Michael Curley in 1999.

Been waiting for this one to appear for a while. 36-37 minutes in is the money scene.

As an aside, all four provincial finals in 1999 were the epitome of what you call championship atmospheres.

i) A gloriously bitter Cork v Kerry Munster final in the muck and the rain in front of a rabid, sold out Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
ii) A classic John Maughan era Mayo performance to overpower Galway in the last ever Connacht final in Tuam.
iii) Armagh’s breakout performance to obliterate Down in the stifling heat of the Clones bowl. A Marsden and McConville masterclass. “Happy, happy people, the people of Armagh”.
iv) Dublin’s archetypal chaos years performance in the last ever high summer Dublin v Meath knockout Leinster final as Paddy Andrews was disembowelled by Ollie Murphy with Tommy Carr and the rest of the capacity crowd watching on helplessly.

Only a few episodes in but the Wrexham documentary on Disney+ is very well done and worth a spin

Fun fact. Liverpool FC legend Divock Origi is named after Vlade Divac.

Saw this last week, it’s called 42 to 1
Great story behind buster Douglas and how his dad also a boxer was just as ferocious as Tyson

I forgot how good The Game was, much give it a rewatch.

Paul Rouse is a national treasure

That Peter Crouch Film

A grand watch, he’s a good egg and was a damn good baller when he found his groove.
Will put a smile on any churlish cunt’s face.
