Garth Brooks to referee at Croker too? It’s the week in comments

We turn to the readers and bring you the pick from the past seven days.

Mikey makes a valid observation after Garth Brooks sells out FIVE dates at Croke Park:

“Ah here, we’ll have to cancel the championship if this keeps going.”

President Higgins will be at Galway FC’s first competitive match at Eamonn Deacy Park and Padraig Stapleton thinks he knows why:

“Ah sure, he’s only there to watch De Town!”

Johnny Bravo predicts Joe Kinnear’s next destination after his departure from Newcastle:

“He going to take over from Ian Ayre  at Liverpool I heard.”

It sounds likes David O’Connor has his tongue firmly-placed in his cheek after Chelsea’s win over Man City:

“Great to see a big money club being taken down by one of the little guys.”

A great point made by Mike Neil:

“It shouldn’t just all be about the rings as that’s way too simplistic. The Patriots were a much better team overall in the Super Bowl winning years than the Colts ever were.

“If you put it in to another context using a different sport, for example Michael Carrick has a rake of Premier League medals and Steven Gerrard has none, does that make Carrick a better player than Gerrard?

“Or Mike Tindall won a World Cup with England and Brian O’Driscoll never won one with Ireland, does that make Tindall better than O’Driscoll?”

An oldie but a goodie from Declan Foley on the Jamaican bobsleigh team’s problems:

I see pride,I see power,I see a bad ass mother who won’t take no crap off of nobody

eVeLyN hUgHeS watched the Super Bowl for the first time in 28 years last Sunday… and got the result she wanted:

“I’m watching it 1st time since ’86!!! With my 2 boys one who is getting up & going to college but night come home at lunch time and 1 who is having a ‘rest’ day from school tomoz – both worked today so I think they deserve it, I don’t work til 2 so I’m sorted
GO SEAHAWKS”

ThomasFrancisMeagher believes those Cats t-shirts may have been sent to a world aid group along with the Super Bowl ones:

“Is that where the Kilkenny 5 in a row t-shirts went?”

Leslie Alan Rock thinks he knows how the charity work of Johne Murphy, BJ Botha and Dave Kilcoyne will work:

“I take it bj botha is left carrying the hod!”
