Who’s this Cunt?

The Zambians could be in for a long one here, Japanese are shredding them

[Juhniallio]

Its all about Barbra Banda mate

[myboyblue]

You fucking degenerate

[myboyblue]

Looks offside

[myboyblue]

2-0. The Japs thread it home, through the eye of a needle that one.

EDIT. Offside. Tanaka has her second goal ruled out for offside. Remains 1-0.

[myboyblue]

Classic bit of African nation goalkeeping here. Penalty to Japan

Give it Tanaka

EDIT Japan rammed again on VAR. player taken down for the penalty was offside. Tis all go. Great refereeing.

Remains 1-0.

[myboyblue]

Tanaka might finally have her goal here at the third time of asking. She’s half afraid to celebrate the poor divil.

Ah yeah onside. She’s a decent bit of stuff Tanaka, hairs breath away from a hat trick here and she’d have taken the penalty. She’s have golden boot wrapped up only for VAR.

I’m met Phelim a few times. Nice chap. Likes his music, especially Wolfe Tonesy stuff, and it’s possible some people here might have even heard him play some of it himself.

I think on balance I probably agree with him and that Malachy Clerkin’s words were over the top. Bad oul’ mistake by Sheba though.

[myboyblue]

I wasnt talking about Phelim

[Biff_Egan]

This Rebecca De Mornay is some bit of stuff

@Arthur

They do realise that. That’s why they want as much of it to be on TV as possible and as much hype around it as possible to drum up more interest. They might be banging their head against a brick wall but fair play to them for trying. The only knock on effect of what they want would be more girls playing and more importantly sticking with sport which I presume almost every single person would agree would be a good thing.

RTE should cover the night games in a sort of Nighthawks style.

Have the RTE canteen as the studio. Drag a couch in in the style of Channel 4’s “After Dark”. Get a runner to go down to the nearest Tesco for a slab of cans at 9:50pm and stash them in the corner. That’ll do for maybe five nights’ worth of coverage. Deirdre O’Kane anchoring. Get Stuey Byrne in with his guitar and maybe his sister too to spin a couple of tunes. Rope in whoever the 2FM night shifter is to make a few comments on the match. Another option would be to bring Darragh Maloney in for a “Maloney After Midnight” slot.

Eamon Dunphy, Shane Ross and the ghost of Terry Keane could step in at 3 o clock

Vincent Browne and Arthur Brett would be fine additions to the coverage.

So far in this tournament out of 18 matches there has only been one game (Sweden v South Africa 2-1) in which both teams have scored. Every other game has been to nil. That’s pretty unusual

These are rare cases of effective parking of vehicles by women.

Distressing scenes in Perth as injury doubt Heather Payne breaks down in the warm up. It looks like there’ll be an enforced change before the 1pm start.

Lucy Quinn replaces Sheva after her unforgivable error (cc Malachy Clerkin) in the opener in the only other change. Abbie Larkin kept in reserve for later.

It’s cold & wet in Perth but the 18k capacity stadium is full of Irish fans.

[Bandage]

Ah jaysus Paul, let the kid speak & not just his parents.

[Bandage]

Áine O’Gorman comes in for Heather Payne.

[Batigol]

That could be big, depending on how good both players are
