OTB (Off The Ball)

He was interesting all right. Usually like McDevitt but I thought he got bit sensitive when Kiernan asked him about Newstalks coverage and he seemed clueless on drugs problems in rugby like all too many in media.

He was 100% correct about rugby. Practically no one plays it and those who do stink of drugs

What has triggered all this talk of drugs in rugby lately?

Yawn…

Jerry Kiernan had his bollocks torn asunder by a stray Rhodesian Ridgeback dog in a park in south Dublin when he was out for a jog back in the 80s.

Rugby players taking drugs

Are you not mixing him up with Eamonn Coughlan there?

Jerry Kiernan played Kevin in Glenroe

definitely Jerry Kiernan. Coughlan is aggravating bollix. Kiernan had an aggravated bollocks. Thats the difference

Well Coughlan was definitely attacked by a dog while out jogging. We weird to happen both of them.

While out for a run one day, Coghlan[/url] confronted a couple of young louts—“In [url=“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/topic/article/Ireland/1900-01-01/2100-12-31/mdd/index.htm”]Ireland[/url] we call them guttersnipe,” he says—who were crossing against the light on their bicycles and loudly cursing at a driver. An old woman was walking nearby, and [url=“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/topic/article/Eamonn_Coghlan/1900-01-01/2100-12-31/mdd/index.htm”]Coghlan[/url] told the boys to stop using foul language around her. He ran at the boys to scare them, but instead alarmed their sheepdog, which attacked him and left him with gouges on both legs and a broken left hand. [url=“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/topic/article/Eamonn_Coghlan/1900-01-01/2100-12-31/mdd/index.htm”]Coghlan had to have two screws implanted in the hand and missed a week of hard training.
His countrymen were aghast. “The question of controlling dogs became a national issue,” said former Irish running star Noel Carroll[/url], in [url=“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/topic/article/New_York/1900-01-01/2100-12-31/mdd/index.htm”]New York on Friday to compete in a special 40-or-over masters’ mile. “There was even special legislation passed. It was incredible. Because of him, the whole nation got preoccupied with dogs.”

Coughlan always comes across as sickeningly self-obsessed. Speaking of which, Keith Wood was on last night. If ever a man was in love with the sound of his own voice.

Anyone ever go to one of these roadshows?

Sure I could have told you that years ago.

More anti Killaloe bias from Chewy here.

Loves his own voice more than O’Muckyheartick?

He ran at the boys to scare them :lol: :lol: :lol:

The fucking idiot[/indent]

Weird alright. This is from boards.ie

'tis nothing new.

Jerry Kiernan was a teacher in my primary school back in the 80’s.

His second biggest claim to fame to us all (after coming 8th or 9th in the 1984 Olympic marathon of course) was getting bitten in the lad by a dog while out running.

Ah he was fucking sickening to listen to. A real self-satisfied, boring rugby cunt.

Worse than the Archbishop that presents the cup to the minor captains on All Ireland final day?

Way worse. The Archbishop never launched into boring tangents about all the injuries he’s archbishopped through without at least justifying the digression beforehand.
