The world cup once again churning out an amazing result. Definitely the most shocking moment in sport since the undertaker lost the streak at wrestlemania

Oh I feel so sorry for those rich white Brazilians who paid thousands of euros to watch that match. I heard a great comment before the world cup that watching Brazil in this world cup will be like watching Sweden. The crowd will be made up of white people with blonde hair and the team on the pitch will be wearing yellow jerseys!

And I've a absolute pain in my hole with Garth Brooks!

This has put me in bad form for the day. Thanks Gerard!

This absolute scutter has me baffled. If people got as upset about the blanket bank guarantee we'd be far better off as a nation.

rave: the term "absolute scutter" I'm stealing that one

Complete and utter scutter has a nice alliterative ring to it too!

It makes for great entertainment all the same, although it saddens me a little when I see ministers and politicians getting involved. FFS the Transport and Tourism committee are calling DCC, Aiken and the GAA in tomorrow to find out who they can blame. And some pleb has demanded that Brooks should be brought to Ireland to explain himself.

Dermot Desmond getting the digs in adds to the fun too, saying there's nothing wrong with the licencing system.

I think they should give 'Garf' a lifetime ban. Nothing to do with the ticket fiasco. Just because he's sh1t.

Headline of the week was: PARTY OFF, GARTH. (in the Metro, I think)

Ahahahaha.

The current state of Irish athletics (well on the track anyway). It's a great time to be an athletics fan with several of our athletes amongst the favourites for medals in Zurich. We had the Belfast International meet last week, Cork Sports last night and the Morton Games and a big meet on in Letterkenny on Sunday. Good times.

First sub five-minute mile.

It was all downhill but it still counts. At least I think it was sub 5, hard to measure the exact mile segment, may be a second or two over.

Insane that the marathon lads run 26 of them back to back.

Anyone else find that their appreciation, and admiration of, elite marathoners, went off the scale after they became runners themselves?

Appreciation and admiration of top level athletes of ALL distances. Once I became aware of paces/training/commitment ect involved I couldn't help but be on awe of them. I had no idea those track guys were motoring so fast all those years :-)

Was about to post in the rant thread...then I realised it was a rave.

Never even knew who the cowboy bloke was until recently, loving the whole mess and seeing the outrage from various directions on here and Bookface. Giving us a good giggle.

Completely....

Whenever I hear elite times for 10+km I basically go through the same thought process..."ZZ.Zkm in X:XX, that's Y min/km. Which is about 30% quicker than my 5km Pace.....I feel so inadequate. Oh well, Ososlo told me to run slowly."

I know this is the Athletics forum, but I think this is true of all sports. It's only when you try them yourself that you realise how good the elite really are.

Ososlo

It's all over hopefully he'll lose lots of fans too as if I was one I would not be impressed.
Take a bow residents. We all know the real reason you formed that group was cause you couldn't bear to listen to that crap for one night, let alone 5
