Things I learned today (Part 1)

Sure that’s only a made up place

I didn’t know that if you take a peno in soccer and it hits the post/bar you can’t be the next player to touch it or it’ll be a free out.

“criticized”!!

Neither person in the commentary box yesterday knew that either, which was bizarre.
One of them even suggested that the free out was for offside

Ah for Gods sake.

I was watching a Luke Kelly dvd there last night (brilliant by the way). Noticed that the Dubliners were originally 5 but then a quartet. Turns out that one of the original line up Ciaran Bourke suffered a brain haemorrhage on tour with the band in 1974 and never performed with the band again. However the band continued to pay him until his death in 1988 and didn’t recruit a replacement until after his death.

Some startling revelations in the past 24 hrs. The Dubliners one is old hat.

Tumbleweeds, which are often synonymous with the American west and a staple of Western films for close to a century, are not native to North America and are an invasive species from Russia that was introduced in the 1870s.

Family Guy had one too

I vaguely recall that he might have been in the audience the night of the Late Late tribute show.

He was. It was the year before he died.
