That Wales game is going to be just as epic. I hope the players are okay for it as there were a few walking wounded today.

My favourite moment (besides the try and final whistle) was Sexton doing a Bill Goldberg on Ford:

Wouldnt be suprised should Sexton not recover in time to see Keatley go straight back in at 10 ahead of Madigan. We seemed rudderless across the backline without Sexton outside Murray was looking increasingly frail as it went into the final quarter of the game. Similar to the french game madigans decision making can be poor. When hes on he is unplayable but he isnt even playing 10 for Leinster whereas Keatley is first choice ten at Munster(why not hanrahan I dont know).


Bad results for United today I was hoping Pool or Arsenal would have dropped points today. Sign of the times that Im looking down the table instead of up

The Ireland team and set up is very like the England team that won the world cup. But not as dirty.

Bit ahead of ourselves there, that English team won down in New Zealand. We are in with the French in our WC pool which helps, they have been a total mess for so long.

Very like in set up. How they approach the game. I don't think Ireland are as good as they were.

This might be a controversial opinion to hold, but i couldn't really give a damn. But i honestly hope Jose Aldo knocks Conor McGregor the **** out in Vegas on July 11th.

Diabhal Beag

I don't like the whole LAD culture that McGregor seems to be at the forefront of but watching his fights have been a lot of fun. Regardless of what happens I'll be happy. Quickly turning the Chael Sonnen corner in terms of meh though.

I'm serving a two week ban in the soccer forum (deservedly, I guess...) so I can't really vent on Boards about United so I'll use this catch-all thread.

Angel Di Maria....Christ, give me strength.

Got a 3 month one for calling Mourinho a prick or a **** I forget. Not that I miss it. Tbf United haven't been playing great if they hadn't De Gea they wouldn't be near a CL place. Think Van Gaal hasn't improved them much when you consider that a few teams around them got worse this season & they had no Europe.
Di Maria & Özil look fair half arsed since leaving Real.

Regarding McGregor I'm surprised rte got a series out of him. Talking about the fightin Irish & other paddy cliches.
Find the UFC fad fading a bit anyway, so many events & so little live long in the memory

Im kinda in the same boat , Especially after his comments about the RTE Sports Awards saying they need to pay for him to be there , even though he has not even won "the big one yet" while you had people like Katie Taylor and BOD who actually win championships in their fields

McGregor just comes across as too cocky for his own good, case in point his RTE Sports Awards comment, he needs to be taken down a few pegs in July.

Katie Taylor + Bryan O' Driscoll > Conor McGregor, by a country mile.

Diabhal Beag

The humble Irish sportsperson is so boring though and the RTE Sports Awards mean ****all. Jockeys win it ffs.

Angron

While it's true that the humble thing can get boring, I find McGregor goes too far the other way.

Stereomaniac

I didn't like Conor McGregor at all when I first saw him but he has really grown on me this year.

Ketamine and Magic Mushrooms too, how did the Government f*ck this up?

Gutted for Schalke, would have loved to see them knock out Madrid.

No such luck for Jose tonight. The cuñt.
Back to the halting site for you Costa

Strange tactics from Jose. Considering the talent at his disposal.

Mr.Nice Guy

Games like that one just chip away at my enjoyment of the sport. Really hope in the near future football follows the example of other sports and gives refs the benefit of technology. There was way too much acting the maggot antics for my liking.

Honestly less cheating than United vs. Arsenal but more scumbaggery. I think it was 'good for the sport' that the right team went through

Tony Fenton & Terry Pratchett, today absolutely sucks.

Bounty Hunter

Wales have done to Ireland what we did to England to weeks ago in that first half but the deficit was reduced to 6 points and I think Ireland can def improve in the 2nd half.

Barnes is consistent but I hope this game isn't all penalties (although Ireland could use a few early now)

Furious-Red

Ireland have def improved since the first half but Wales have lost very little momentum . Cant see Ireland winning this sadly although those 2 massive plays in Welsh 10m was brilliant.

And now wales have a try
