    iShag function only goes funny when you move from the iGirlfriend platform to the iWife platform, easiest way to sort out is re-install iGirlfriend and run iWife in parallel

    She wasn't impressed, even when he explained that it can be integrated with the iWASH, iCOOK and iCLEAN network. This triggered the iNAG service, which totally wiped out the iSHAG function.

    Getting told in the pub the other night that I was fat and there is no way that I could have run x time for a marathon by a Kilian Jornet lookalike. Nothing motivates me as much as bitterness and spite.

    Cavendish's sprint finish today is well worth raving about. Perfect timing. (I know wrong forum)

    Sure that's what the top of the boot of the car was made for :). On the train to Thurles now. Love Munster Final day. Bring it on. Hope it's a closely fought game. I wouldn't begrudge the Deise a Munster title, just not when Tipp are involved.

    Not really. More the assumption that 2 of the greatest players in history in a pretty global sport is always going to trump a match between the 2 best teams in one quarter of a tiny country.

    Matter of opinion given the vast difference between the two games - your assumption wouldn't always be right (in my opinion).

    I like hurling, but it is what it is. A minority sport (relative to Gaelic Football and soccer in Ireland) played in one small country.

    Have to say I don't like this attitude to hurling, its a great sport and we should celebrate it. You don't get Americans doing down the NFL because its only played in one country. A good sport is a good sport.

    Also a lot more people play hurling than soccer in Ireland. A lot more people attend hurling matches than soccer matches so not sure I get that comparison at all unless you are talking about people watching sky sports in a bar.

    +1 - It might be a minority sport but, for me, a full on game of hurling between two skillful teams played with passion can't be beaten. Fully agree that this should be celebrated rather than dumbed down just because it isn't played elsewhere. I celebrate the skill passion & intensity with which a good game is played. I also love the pride of place & banter that inevitably arises

    1) NFL is played in a rather large country, and is watched all over the world. Not a fair comparison. AFL maybe a better comparison, and even then that's a stretch.

    2) No way do more people play hurling in Ireland than soccer, that is completely false. Hurling is played in 10 counties to a reasonable level. Soccer is played everywhere. Did you just make up that stat, because not even the most hardcore hurling fan would believe that.

    3) Hurling is a very enjoyable sport. I find I enjoy it more when I accept what it is and put the likes of Ger Loughnane and Davy Fitzgerald on mute.

    Yeh it's a great game to watch when it's good I agree. I like telling foreigners about it when I'm abroad, and showing them clips.

    It would rank well below internationals sports for me personally though. I wouldn't miss an All Ireland, but I'd never watch it over a Wimbledon Final or the final day of the Open. I guess I'm not from a hurling stronghold though.

    Fair enough. As I said above, it's all a matter of opinion :)
