Green Thumb/Red Thumb: It’s the week in comments

Featuring Gareth Bale’s insurance, BOD’s trick or treat and Chris O’Dowd in the (bicycle) saddle.

NOEL KING’S ‘this conversation is incorrect’ Roy Hodgson’s NASA monkey battled it out for the best/baffling sporting comments of the week.

You guys were in flying form too, however. Here are some gems that graced our comments section this week.

Darrell Cushion muses on a couple of key reasons why the Aviva stadium would be less than half full for Ireland’s game with Kazakhstan

The things I'd do to be Amy Huberman.....

Jimmy Magee jumped to Michelle Smith's defence when he claimed she was 'tested more often than Shergar'. Here are a couple of the best responses:

Jimmy would want to be tested, never mind Shergar.

"Ya, they used a gun instead of a needle to test Shergar."
