RTE are retiring Adam Nolan

[FONT=Arial]Egan was bidding to become the first man to win 11 Irish senior titles and brought everything, but was simply outgunned by the sustained ferocity of an opponent 13 years his junior.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]A clattering combination set up an assault which wobbled Egan in the second and, although the veteran recovered admirably, Ward kept swinging in the big scoring shots until the final bell.[/FONT][FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
I left a comment correcting a mistake on the sports pages a couple of weeks ago, twas relating to roman numerals. Their sports writers must be on the sup.

DECLAN Kidney has been sensationally dropped Ronan O’Gara from his 23-man squad for the visit of France to the Aviva Stadium next Saturday.

Someone posted a link to this on the forum, what a fucking dreadful article it is, fucking Australians.
THERE is no doubt that by announcing the end of his association with the Queensland Reds at the end of the Super Rugby season, Ewen McKenzie is stating he wants to coach the Wallabies. However, the timing of his announcement and the timing of the selection process for the Wallabies coach going through to the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England do not gel.
In his Herald column this week, McKenzie said he would be looking for a job in August.
Bill Pulver, head of the ARU, confirmed this week that Robbie Deans would be coach of the Wallabies on their northern hemisphere tour in November.
Presumably, the selection of the Wallabies coach (which could be Deans, again) would take place after this tour. This means McKenzie would have to reject the offers of coaching jobs he is certain to receive from Europe in the hope that he will displace Deans in a contest some time after November.
This gamble might make sense if the Wallabies have an entirely disastrous series in June against the British and Irish Lions. Nothing is certain in rugby but the likelihood is that with virtually all of the stars back (especially Will Genia and James Horwill), the Wallabies will be as effective against the Lions as they were last season when, without many of their stars, they defeated the then grand slam champions 3-0 in the Test series. This season, too, Deans will have a superbly drilled and coached Brumbies side to build a formidable Wallabies team around, rather like Rod Macqueen in his golden era as the Wallabies coach.
Sidney may be able to confirm, but I’m pretty sure the “Loins” weren’t in action last season? Not the British ones anyway.
Sources within the Irish Rugby Football Union have given a wink and a nudge that they are certain McKenzie will take up an offer to coach Ireland. The current coach, Declan Kidney (a name James Joyce would have rejoiced in creating), is contracted until July. Ireland had a disastrous Six Nations tournament, with three losses, a draw and a solitary win. They did not make the finals of the 2011 World Cup, despite a superb victory over Australia. The team is ranked ninth in the world, below Argentina and Samoa. Kidney can’t survive with that record.
Fuck off you shower of cunts.
One scenario for the resurrection of Ireland I’ve been told is Les Kiss, an assistant coach, taking a development side to the US in June while the Lions are in Australia. Then, in August, McKenzie will move into the head coaching job with Ireland in time to select a new side for the Tests against the visiting southern hemisphere powers, including a much anticipated encounter against the All Blacks.
If this happens, McKenzie could take Ireland in the 2015 World Cup and presumably be available to coach on there or throw his hat in the ring for the Wallabies job.
Another candidate in 2016 will be Jake White, who has said he will serve out his contract with the Brumbies, which ends in 2015. White has made it quite clear he wants to coach the Wallabies at the end of his Brumbies stint. And if Michael Cheika creates a spectacular turnaround in the fortunes of the Waratahs in 2014 and/or 2015 (this season seems to be a lost cause), he could be a wildcard possibility.
All this is speculation before the facts. And the crucial facts are the results achieved by all the contending coaches in coming matches.
What McKenzie has going for him is a Super Rugby title in 2011 with the Reds, and a finals position last year. This Super Rugby season, though, has been difficult already.
There has been unacceptable behaviour by Digby Ioane, who has been protected by McKenzie in the past. Quade Cooper is playing poorly. So much so that even his most fervent supporters in the Queensland media are putting the boot in. The dashing, free-spirited, ball-in-hand game that won the Reds the title and the style Pulver says he wants from the Wallabies have disappeared. The Reds are playing a spoiling, negative game.
On Saturday, the Reds confront a rampant Bulls side at Suncorp Stadium. This will be a moment of truth for the team and its coach.
For what its worth, the Red took the Bulls to pieces on Saturday, with Cooper and Ioane excelling.
Ken Early has started writing for the times. Can’t find his article on the website but it’s worth a read. Trying way to hard to be a “Times writer”. Cringeworthy. Hopefully he can settle down and be as entertaining as some of his meanderings on OTB were, although the danger exists that his meanderings turn out to be bollocks when examined in print.
I’m loathe to put the cunt in here as I don’t consider him a journalist but how about this golden nugget from Gerry Thornely in today’s IT.
[SIZE=16px][FONT=Georgia]Rarely has one player transcended a game quite like Paul O’Connell did in Musgrave Park on Saturday night. [/FONT][/SIZE]
For those rugby haters amongst you, it was a run of the mill league game and O’Connell played pretty well considering it was his first game since October. That’s it.
Ireland would’ve won the Grand Slam if Paul O’ Connell was fit… FACT
Superman wears Paul O’Connell pyjamas to bed.
His piece is absolutely shit.
It was Arriglesque
I know Thraw, that’s why i filed it here. I have to say, I was mildly excited when I saw he was writing for them and went straight for his piece. Sad to say, it wasted quality jacks reading time.
Aye, me too. Maybe they can get a young intern to interview him on the blower instead and transcribe his musings, like the way they do (or used to) with Lawro. Judging by that dross he’s clearly a much better talker than writer.
Was exactly who I thought of when I read it.
