Good century by Eoin Morgan in very tough conditions. I certainly didn't think he had the temperement for Test cricket but he's proven me wrong today. I hope he can keep it up and he'll have a decent Test career. :happy clapper: He's a CUS boy, of course he has "the temperement (sic) for Test ...

[quote="Sarphil" The judge in the case I have quoted did not fall for the previous good character and making amends bullsh, but the thread title is 'all that is wrong with our criminal justice system' and this case further highlights the fact that the sentencing in this country is ridiculo...

Munster's scrum, even at our peak, was only ever adequate. How many penalty tries did we score from it? How often did we smash other teams with it? Rarely enough occasions on both counts. Since the new focus on the scrum we've been badly shown up. Also, looking at Ireland, Cian Healy is going backw...

and a pack that recieved many many caps between those years, is blatant evidence. Just because players win caps doesn't mean they're any good. It simply means they're better than their national counterparts. Sorry, I just can't stand when people point to caps as an indicator of quality. It means th...

The hang/flog 'em and throw away the key brigade loves a cause but unless you knw all the facts - previous character etc , which the judge has in front of him you can't make a judgement. The throw away the key system was tried, deportations etc and it didn't work. It made more brutal inmates and mo...

Allowing for the relative shambles of Pak cricket at the moment, still very decent to win there. Was the pitch deliberately set to embarrass the Pakistan board?

Nor am I asking you too. Its your leisure time. However, it leads one to wonder what condition grass roots rugby might be in if enthusiasts like yourself weren't lost to the game below pro rugby. You'd be better served if you asked why clubs are obsessed with winning the sodding AIL, why they devot...

Don't be so cynical.
In fact I was the top home run scorer, Leinster Senior League, 2005.

20,000 only at the Tipp game.
A few more 'hope springing eternals' will be out for the Armagh game.
Probably best if Armagh hammer them and get rid of this management team.

Come on, are you seriously trying to tell me that cricket is a real sport. Surely it's just a made up game by people who can't play normal sports, such as darts, snooker and golf. In other words, you don't like it nor understand it so it's not real? Cricket is a real sport. There ya go. It might be...

Cornish Pasties, Currie, Worcester Sauce......................we'll be eaten alive.

Sadly, cricket will never get critical mass here to make us test players. The day I see a bunch of Finglas kids playing cricket on the street I'll eat Jackie Healy-Rae's hat while streaking through the procathedral. This game has been correctly defined as 'organised sunbathing'. Not suited to the C...

Sounds like he's beem tazered a few times himself.

Gilroy is an unmitigated failure. Luckily Tipp were too poor yesterday to get the better of a shaky Dublin. This Dublin team is only half the team of 2009 which itself wasn't good enough. It might have been better if Tipp had won yesterday as pantomime value is all we're getting from this outfit. Th...

next season leinsters 23 man squad will consist of 2 props, 2 hookers, 2 second rows, 2 S/Hs, 1 O/H and a winger all none leinster players. So what? Should guys like Reddan, Fogarty just go retire or something? this is a team that has told all who will listen that they have a great academy , munste...

in the same way they are charging e50 to join the supporters club. Err presume you are referring to 'blues membership' - this gives you first preference to buy match tickets and enter any international ballot draw. Some people for whatever reason (financial, geographical) can not justify spending t...
