@count_of_monte_crist, you’re right on a lot of things but @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy has you here. Kickers don’t get paid to make easy twenty yarders, the same way goalkeepers don’t get paid to collect overhit passes. It’s the most rudimentary element of their skill set and isn’t the reason they’re professionals.
I don’t get your qualification of “until last season” either, while the extra point kick was moved back there’s still chip shot field goals and its not like there were extra point specialists suddenly unemployed.

Yes i know all that.
I was simply making the point that they were a plethora of easy PATs unitl last year and there are not.
ah ill elaborate when i have a bit more time…
Moving the extra point back was an anti-immigrant move brought in to counter the rise of Trump, wasn’t it?
yeah kickers dont get paid to make easy field goals, i was stating that they were making the easy shots that O’shea had to do in his t.v. show. I realise that there isnt a specific kicker to this role i was likening the efforts put forth by O’Shea as the equivalent to a PAT from 2 years ago hence my qualification which referred to it.
Obviously NFL Kickers are far superior to the effort put forth here.
Imagine what the yanks or English lads do be thinking to themselves when these big roasters arrives over, I was watching the Armagh fella at Sunderland, jesus what a roaster, “they are a lot stronger than I thought they would be, look at the weights they can lift” and the Sunderland patently explaining to him, that just because they aren’t huge they are are still strong due to proper training, Aiden O’Shea is yet another mayo embarrassment to Ireland like that other tool over there today Enda Kenny

O’Shea seemed an alright sort to me, good aul athlete too
Michael Murphy (big square jawed Donegal battering ram) -> Clermont Auverne
Shane Williams (diminuitive welsh rugby player) - > Glenswilly
Will the gga player play a game this time ?
Fuck no, like all the other times, he’ll just be allowed faf about pretending to be a professional sportsman.
Murphy has spent the last couple of years rugby tackling lads so the transition should be seamless.

I doubt the referees will be as lenient as the ones here are.
Lucky he won’t actually be playing a game so.
A sham of a fucking show.

Aidan O Shea got a management team sacked so he could go on it. Its THAT important.

The money that can be made from it for a work-shy simpleton is big business but the show is utter fucking shite.
Watching O’Shea thinking he was a surf dude in America was vomit inducing last year.

V interested to see how he would get on over there. He’s a hardy buck around these parts. He’d have good craic trying to tackle Rougerie or Fritz Lee or someone
He wont be let near them. Mores the pity.
Whats the Irish link as Clermont?
Has there been an Irish fella on it who wasnt an embarrassment?

No.
Beefcake Kernan the year before not being able to lift as many weights as some scrawny 12 year old from the North of England was embarrassing.
