“Westmeath beat Kilkenny last night and the INTERNET literally exploded”
An intrepid Connacht supporter has booked an incredible 5,000 km round trip from Galway to Edinburgh via Rome to see his team play in the Pro12 final! Even with every plane, train, and automobile from Ireland to Scotland booked out, Paddy Joyce, known to his friends as “Joycers”, still wasn’t going to be stopped from getting to the big match! We think he deserves an award for most dedicated Connacht fan in the world!
Would you be fucking well.
It is a twelve-hour journey each way – departing Galway city at 10pm on Friday, hitting Belfast, via Dublin, for a 3.30am ferry sailing, which is due into Cairnryan at about 6am, before another bus journey to Edinburgh where the estimated time of arrival is 10am, well in advance of the 5.30pm kick-off.
The return journey begins at five minutes to midnight Saturday and – twelve hours later, all going well – the bus will arrive back into the Fairgreen Station at noon on Sunday.
€129 each it costs to put yourself through that torture by the way, not including tickets.
Even if you were a die hard supporter (which is about 200 people I’d say) there has to be at least 50 better ways to do it than that.
Can you imagine the smell of shit out of that bus after it pulls in on the Sunday morning
The smell of shit would be nothing compared to the sheer torture of being stuck in an enclosed space with those cunts for the guts of 24 hours.
The new Irish rugby jersey has been revealed and we think it’s beautiful!
The new Ireland rugby jersey has been revealed and we think it’s the nicest jersey we’ve seen the Boys in Green wear yet! The new jersey features a really cool looking giant penis and ball sack on the front. According to manufacturers Canterbury, the penis symbolises penetration while the balls symbolise the object the team needs to concentrate on during matches. We think it’s genius!
And if the social media reaction to the new jersey is anything to go by, we’re not alone…
Cian Healy @goingintochurch Yeah! Scooter! Fingerbang! #wheels
Balls.ie @talkingballs We can confirm we aren’t the Irish rugby team’s new sponsor but we’re delighted to have our image on it! #flattered
Simon Zebo @smileyouroncandidcamera Oh yeah! I’m looking forward to pulling on that! #nice

John Muldoon @JohnMuldoon This new Ireland jersey must be some sort of sick joke.
Jamie Heaslip @heaslippy Havin the looooolz with @goingintochurch #lol
Neil Francis @franorubbyman So the French won’t be the only team in the Six Nations to have a cock on the front of their jersey. I give up on modern rugby, I really do.
Ah thats brilliant Sidney.
You could also have added in a sponsor loaded tweet from Drico which would be carefully crafted to offend absolutely nobody.
“You won’t believe the raucous reaction of the Irish fans in the Bordeaux fan zone to Northern Ireland’s second goal last night…”
'Ok, with all the epic bantz over the last week it has been overlooked that there’s a second Ireland team having a party in France at Euro 2016.
Northern Ireland, or Norn Iron as they are affectionately known, stormed through qualification but were widely tipped to be the whipping boys in a very difficult group with Germany, Poland and Ukraine. That was until former Gaelic footballer and ex Derry City player Niall McGinn did THIS against Ukraine to seal a famous victory…
These Irish fans in Bordeaux, preparing for Saturday’s crunch game with Belgium were over joyed to see the boys in green (and white) from Windsor Park secure a historic victory. We particularly like the lad in the Wicklow GAA jersey doing a martial arts type cart wheel with his mate in the leprechaun suit towards the end.
Thanks to Paddy Joe McBride from Kiltimagh for providing the footage to J*e Towers.’

The lesser evil in this case after what The Times did with their front page after the Hillsborough verdict.
Well obviously, but for a new set up like Sportsjoe UK to get a whale like Barrett is huge. They’re not going away, and as I’ve said before on here, their writing has improved greatly.
Bear in mind, I am only talking about Sportsjoe here, not the other cunt of a site.
It’s happening pal, get on now, it’s the TFK way.

FFS sake.
“Podcasting is an incredibly intimate experience. It has to be like a woolly jumper close to your skin."
I’ve no idea who Paddy McKenna is, but I imagine listening to one of his podcasts might be a bit like having a woolly jumper close to your skin.
Potentially very irritating.
Where’s that gimp from again?
