IT’S BEEN A long week of sport, folks. But thanks to you and your witty comments, we’re ready to do it all over again.
Here are some of our fondest below-the-line contributions from the past seven days.
An alternate angle on Maradona’s classic against England got David Speakman thinking:
“All left foot! Missed several opportunitues to dive and get players booked. Will never make it. 2/10″
Voice of Raisin spotted a big omission on our list of things that will definitely happen during the Six Nations:
“Ryle Nugent will break the world record for talking inane nonsense for 80 minutes, without taking a single breath, with Donal Lenihan excitedly repeating the word “tremenjous” as the backing vocals.”
D has a plan for cutting 10-year-old rugby prodigy Chicago Doyle down to size:
See how good he is at 19 when some young farmer from West Limerick tackles him at the u 19 World Cup …He’ll wish his name was Bruff Doyle then …
Funkytown is a hard man to impress as Mexican skiier Hubertus von Hohenlohe found out:
“Still not as good as chazz Michael Michaels”
It took a few hours but Noel Howley called us out for our reference to Andy Reid’s “magic wand”:
“That headline was a bit smutty!”
Conor Flood has some suggestions if BOD is at a loose end when he hangs up his boots:
“I know it’s a long shot but If he’s free I was hoping to paint downstairs around June and could use a little help . Two days max … ????”
Niall Griffin nails another anti-climactic transfer deadline day on the head:
“Watching Transfer Deadline Day on SSN is like going to a strip club and finding out they leave their underwear on.”
And finally, we asked who would you pick in an Ireland team to face Scotland tomorrow? Chris McDonnell’s selection — and logic — gets a place in the Hall of Fame:
Best Healy Ross
Toner PoC
Pom , Chris McDonnell , HenryMurrary sexton
Darcy bod
Kearney Kearney McFaddenas the post said who your like to see play v Scotland I picked myself at no8, a couple of reasons for this
1, it’s only Scotland,
2, I didn’t think most of you would mind as you think heaslip does nothing anyway,
3, for those watching on telly I kinda look like a mixture of Keith wood and the bull Hayes, with my shiny head and same sort of body shape, this would give a few of those who have a few beers early and those short sighted either very found memories and or a serious fright. And finally
4, it would save me the cost of a ticket and I’d get some really nice kit too.
