Disappointing stuff from the Oirish: This was Lagergren's moment as well as McIlroy's and usually golf fans are capable of recognising such occasions. The mutual encouragement that ensues is another reason the game is so special. He did not deserve to hear yells of "Get in the water!" while playing...

I imagine the straight jacket thats now imposed on RTE 'talent' and outside the firm earning ability was a big factor too.....

chelsea looking sharp tonight I thought Paquetá was fouled for the Chelsea second goal... commentators saying he didn't have control of the ball... but that doesn't mean the Chelsea player can jump on you like that... he took him out. Since then it's been all Chelsea. Hammers are so passive without...

man utd need a decent keeper if they want to compete The young goalkeeper they have coming through is meant to be excellent but he's like 18 ish, can't be playing him. Their 2 top goalkeepers aren't fit to be league 1 goalkeepers let alone prem. If the young fella can catch a cross or a corner then...

Is The Pitt in Ireland streaming? Nein. You must obtain it through a dodgy box according to my friend who has seen it and says it is f**king class. Cheers. My friend concurs, best tv he's seen in years, said prepare to have a lot of 'dust in your eye' moments, both good and bad :thumbup:

It's official: Kildare are the Kings of the 2nd Tier. Who needs Sam or Liam when there are Tailteann and Joe McDonagh cups to be won! On a serious note for Kildare football - we had to win that.

That had to be the biggest 6 pt hammering I've seen in a long time, Kerry must have left a half dozen goals after them, Tyrone keeper Morgan kept them in it....David Clifford was just imperious today getting 1-9 and still lost out on MOM to joe O'connor who was incredible....that man has some engine...

IMHO an alternative solution to penalty kicks needs to be found for rugby. Surely to fcuk something can be come up with which is an improvement over what is a test of individual skill for which perhaps as few as two players per match day squad will have trained in?

Great effort from the lads. Crowley still not moving well at all. Playing well below himself physically (no running at all). Wouldn’t mind him getting the summer off to rehab Kilgallen is a fine player. Thakir is a bit of a weakness imo - just tiny. Haley was far better in the fullback role. His kn...

How in earth will this make him the greatest club manager of all time? 2 HC ands a Top 14 with a club who had never won anything in their 127 year history?

Ulster losing the breakdown battle big style. When Munster have the ball in our half, they are almost uncontested until they have an error. Back line is looking dangerous, we need Henderson and Izzy to last as long as possible. Hopeful, rather than confident. Home advantage the difference in all li...

Leinsters arrogance was their downfall. You can’t turn down 3pts to draw a knockout game twice. They deserve all they got. Arrogance. Were leinster offered option to go back for the original penalty that they were playing advantage from before opting for the tap penalty as it was a piss easy kick (...

Don't think so. Arrived injured from SA camp and don't think he's missed anything since.

You’d be sick if you were Rory. I’m not sure he can mentally recover from that 18th.

A two shot lead, going into the final round, after where he was walking off 17 on Thursday is an excellent position. Indeed... let's hope he sleeps well and doesn't torment Earl too much tomorrow.
