We'll be looking out for pictures of the crowd and one confused soul in particular.

I know I said earlier that I would rather watch the Railway Cup but I would really love to see this today. Bloody work.

/searches for live streaming

Just on that subject there are 2 countries involved Ireland and Australia so why do they have to show it on a Friday morning in Ireland, will be trying to sneak a look at it at work but it will be damned difficult, why couldn't they show it on Saturday morning,daft IMO.

They don't start streaming until 11.10am.

Erin Go Brath

How long before a mass brawl breaks out? I give it 15 mins max.

I'd love to know why they're not broadcasting on the radio, especially given the time of the game.

cruiserweight

According to the RTE website the game might be delayed with crowds outside, bloody Dubs again

Shmuck

The aussies are at it already, saw an irish player get punched in the face off the ball. Did the officials do anything? Did they ****!

Orizio

Meh. Seems disciplined enough so far.

Ireland now 4 up.

I'm watching this as well and so far that seems to have been an isolated incident and both teams seem intent on actually playing up to now.

Let's not have this thread purely for ranting about any perceived injustices.

Orizio

We're up 5 now. Pretty awful stuff.

Is the tackle here the same as in rugby or what? Aussie's missed a penalty.

smashey

Penalty to Aus.

Looks like a penalty!

What a crap attempt!

smashey

Benny Coulter has won a couple of decent catches but seems to have left his shooting boots at home.

mfield

I can't get the stream to run properly, sound fine but picture is not happening.

That last mark he took was excellent alright.

rte stream only works on an irish ip

try the afl site maybe?

Colm R

I can't get the stream working.

Go to afl.com.au and you can get aussie radio. Choose SEN option and your man from todayfm is on it.

Finally a goal. The Aussies are absolutely dreadful. We should hammer them.

Paul Collins.

ibh

Good to see were keeping the scoreboard ticking over. Hoping that we hand the aussies a bit of a beating..

Any stand out performers on our side thus far??

Orizio

Benny Coulter, only half watching tbh.

So you can't hold on when in tackle?

Yup.

Des is going for Australia methinks.

Australia really getting on top now, Ireland's kicking is dreadful, fellas incapable of making basic passes.

Right, its like the inter county championship has started all over again.

Its never been the brutality but the **** poor bits in between that have been the problem with this 'sport'.

Doh.

Red card for me.

Kingp35

We keep giving the ball away! How we cant pass the ball 10 metres is beyond me. The Aussies were cack in the first quarter and looked there for the taking but we never showed up in the second. Great save by Gallagher who has justified his selection so far. The forwards need to get into it more, Donaghy seeing none of the ball at all. John Keane having a decent enough game at the back.

Seriously if we actually had the ability to kick the ball we would hammer these. That second Quarter was worse than Croker 2 years ago

Xavi6

Howya lads. Half us missed most of the 1st quarter due to poxy train delays in the city. Nearly a riot. Both sides equally good and bad in parts. Ireland holding onto the ball too long and inviting the tackle. Been very clean so far. Great craic in the crowd.

The last play of the first half was the perfect illustration of why Ireland will find it very difficult to win the series. Stevie Mcdonnell in on goal, the Australian drags him down from behind, perfectly legitimate tackle, and then McDonnell gets done for kicking the ball while being tackled, when he would have scored a point. We just find it so difficult to avoid the tackle.

And we've scored two overs in all of the first half. The Aussies have 4. Pathetic.

The Marks count is brilliant in Ireland's favour.

what a joke....how when a ball goes out of play does it get called back because he caught it in play...

It's called a mark.

The game stops when the ball is caught.

If you are going to complain at least familiarise yourself with the rules.
