The only thing Walloons and Flemish hate more than each other is the French and the Dutch. It's all a bit mad really. It's one country with two distinct populations speaking different languages and with different cultures. If the EU goes more federal, there'll be no real point in staying together ....

Cody is a knacker ! some balls from Canning to nail that last one ; fair dues to Galway for coming back from what i would have thought was a lost cause in the second half...typically you'd expect the more seasoned team to have the advantage in a replay but Kilkenny were clearly anxious as i've seen...

That's just cop-out. Irish Athletics needs to take a long hard look at itself & wonder why there are so few children of immigrants coming through onto our teams. Why are these children taking to Soccer or GAA rather than athletics? They are competing in athletics and competing sucessfully. They are...

Good to hear two current athletes telling it as it is. McSweeney and Gillick pulled no punches. The structures in Irish athletics are non existent. Hard to know what to do with track. The point was made that we will never compete at sprint and long distance at this level for obvious reasons. Still ...

You must be as young as you sound. I just asked a question. How? Uncle Ma's Turtle Soup. Do you remember prior to the 96 games the Chinese trials were held. World records were being demolished left,right, and centre in the middle distance. It was incredible. It is widely reckoned in the athletics w...

I'm not arguing that point with you. :roll: Are you really saying that a ban for a non performance enhancing drug administered in error and acknowledged as such by the authorities is as bad as a cyclist intentionally doping to gain an advantage?

Can't see John Joe winning the semi final. Those Cubans are brilliant fighters JJ needs to call him out. The Nevins have a reputation as pretty decent scrappers too.

Harsh decision imo. I don't think the points difference was that large. I thought he had the lead in the 1st round, it was even in the second and the Irish got the lead in the last one. His first round should have made the difference in his favour imo but that's just my 2 cents. For the record, the...

Thought Lacey was very impressive again, he is some footballer. McFadden does some job in the lone role up front.

It would be interesting to see a team come up against Donegal and say "Right, two can play that game"! Would be the worst game of football ever mind, bad enough when one team does it.
