I love hearing American’s commentate on Soccer, it’s always funny. That being said Europeans normally make a meal of talking about American sports too. And on the game, very entertaining (especially for Soccer) and unfortunately the wrong team won.

Thank you Munster! Another brilliant day. I’ve had so many of them, I really really love sport. The downside is for everyday like yesterday, or the Sale match there are awful moments, like the last trip to Cardiff, but this was not one of them.
O’Gara and Halstead going over the line at the end […]

Jersey washed and ready to go! Counting Down, to the big match!

I was away all weekend up in Dublin for the Munster match. It was an excellent trip, the match was great, Munster saw off a very resilient Perpingnan side. I’m delighted that it’s Leinster next and I’m kind of confident that the winner of that will be the Heineken Cup Champions come the end of […]

Well I escaped the carnage of Patricks Day and headed for West Cork. It was so frickin’ cold down there. Met Eireann reckon it was 2 degrees but they didn’t mention the wind chill! It wasn’t wet though, so that’s good!
Then Saturday it was back to Cork for Super Saturday — 3 live rugby games! […]

I really really really hate giving them this much money but what else can I do? Sometimes I wish I didn’t like sports, then I wouldn’t have the heartache or the financial expense!

P.S. Anyone know somewhere to stay in Cardiff for the Heineken Cup Final? Everywhere I look seems to be booked out!

The person who I got these from seems to say his tipster is good, I don’t know how good so I’ll probably just see how today’s tips pan out and then maybe bet on his tips for tomorrow. Here they are anyway!

Neo-conservatism
Kevin disects the Independent’s article yesterday on how they were right and others were wrong. I agree 100% with the critism of the article expressed there. Also worth noting is how they have Andrew Sullivan marked as one of the critics who’s changed his mind, which is correct but he had changed his mind about […]

Gavin tells of his connection to Victor Connell who was on the news this evening because there is a big push on to collect money for his rehabilitation. Victor got hurt playing rugby so obviously I can relate. I wish him the best and I really hope that they manage to collect a lot for […]

I’ve made up my mind, the Winter Olympics is a million times better to watch on TV than the Summer games. The summer games can be quite mundane, I’m sure some people like them a lot, but while I watch them there are few sports on it I really enjoy. Meanwhile the Winter one’s […]
