DB could easily have been a rugger bugger if you hadnt took him under your wings and turned him into a Celt[/QUOTE]
No fucking way are you putting this shit on me. You felt sorry for the lad on his own reading the Daily Record so you start talking to him. Who would know 20 years later he would have a corner of the pub named after his nag and the Record has long since been replaced by the Racing Post.
@croppy never felt comfortable carrying the McCann out, Brits out, bed sheet, he was always much more at home discussing right wing political matters with his college chum from the Oirish Mail.

It’s going to be a hell of a match. A lot of people are saying it’s going to be a battle between the forwards but I think whichever full-back does better could decide the result.
Weekend 1 of the rugby football world cup completed without seeing a match or “the match”. Around 7 more weekends to successfully negotiate until the tournament draws to a conclusion.
Looking forward to being asked this at the water cooler on Monday morning.
Plenty of scope for devilment.
Even if it goes tits up and they win the rugby football but we lose to Poland can still throw them a curve ball and start waxing lyrically about the county final.
The football team showed incredible mental strength and sporting prowess to overcome injury and suspension against a team with technically better players. Contrast that with the rugby footballers who shat their togs when faced with similar problems. Despite being 8/13 favourites they had their tummies tickled in getting absolutely annihilated by Argentina.
Throughout the campaign there has been astonishing leadership from unheralded players like David Forde, Richard Keogh, Ciaran Clark and Cyrus Christie. Contrast that to the gutless rugby football capitulation against a bunch of Argentinian sheep farmers.
Thankfully I was out with my work crew while it was on so there will be no need to rehash it… I lost a pint in a bet with a Spanish work colleague when I predicted the Irish team would bottle it when well ahead. Bastards
