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

Featuring Sheryl Crow’s dress, boxer shorts and Gordon Bombay.

IT’S THE END of another week and we near the end of Ireland’s World Cup qualifying campaign.

But there’s still plenty of reasons to be cheerful.

Take these, the finest moments from your fellow commenters for instance:

Barry Gormley finds many levels of amusement in Lennox Lewis‘ mooted deal to fight a Klitschko.

“Thought it was funny that he said it’d take 50 million to get him out of his pyjamas, as then he’d quite literally be in his boxer shorts.”

Big Pat steps in front of Robbie Keane and says ‘pick on somebody your own size’.

Yeh he did f**k all against Sweden. Except score a goal.

You know, the objective of football. But yeh apart from that nothing.

And the rest of the team on the other hand….

Like most of us, John Craven’s ice-hockey knowledge only extends as far as Joshua Jackson and Emilio Estevez.

“Reminds me of a young Gordon Bombay,” Craven said after this wondergoal.

Owen O’Neill looks beyond the drugs shame and picks out the real story from Sheryl Crow’s Lance Armstrong years.

“He had so many yellow jerseys she’s made a dress out of them.”

Guinness to replace Heineken Cup? Tadhg Macdaibhi gets the gags in.

“Wouldn’t be the best move politically for Guinness at this point in the current crisis. It also makes a nonsense of the PRL claims that they had a lot of interest in sponsoring their completion. In France it would be known as the G cup and teams would compete for a G spot!”

The sight of this GAA jersey in Kuala Lumpur gave Brendan Daly a hairy flashback.

“Think I shifted the one on the left, not my proudest moment”
