'Gordon D'Arcy looks like he should be plucking a banjo': It’s the week in comments

Would anyone notice if the Ireland centre joined Mumford & Sons?

Barry Gormley has a few words for people who give out about ‘bandwagoners’:

“Sports teams get greater support with success, why people feel they are clever for pointing this out is weird. I’ve yet to hear any sports person say, “to all you New supporters, you are unwanted.

Poland’s Justina Kowalczyk won gold in the women’s Nordic skiing 10km with a broken foot in Sochi… but Denise Houlihan isn’t impressed:

“Justina Kowascxyyxxzz – that’s nuthin’ – I once drove from Cavan to Athlone with a broken foot.”

Jeremy Usbourne thinks he knows how Olympic officials managed to give both Tina Maze and Dominque Gisin a gold medal in the women’s downhill:

“Sadly they had no spare gold medal, so one was gold foil covered chocolate.”

Donal O’Brien on Gordon D’Arcy’s wonderful facial hair:

“He looks like he should be plucking a banjo.”

Donald Trump made a “great purchase in Ireland” this week when the bought Doonbeg golf club. Here’s Caoimhghín Ó Tuama‘s take on it:

“15 million was a great price toupee to it.

Was that the quote?

“Remember years ago when Alan Hansen said. “You can’t win anything with Moyes.”

Larry Bird remembers the “good old days”…

“Giving red cards for celebrations like that is killing the game, where in the laws of the game does it say you can’t headbutt a glass dugout?! I blame the foreign players, in my day…”

We have to admit, that would be terrifying:

“I’m dressing up as Paul O’Connells eyes next Halloween.”

Declan Hourihan responds to the Kilkenny manager’s call to for red and yellow cards to be banned:

“Maybe we should call for a ban on red faces…the we would see the end of Cody…;)”
