Joe Kinnear’s rant has entered folklore and since today he has -for reasons passing understanding- been appointed Director of football at Newcastle, we all need to be reminded of it. The Mirror had his legendary rant in its entirety where he started by laying into one of their journalists. This was Kinnear’s first press conference as manager remember. Balls.ie disclaimer – If you... »
Joe Kinnear has been offered a three year deal to take over as director of football at Newcastle. The twitter reaction has been incredulous to say the least: There’s madness, there’s utter madness, then there’s the potential decision to make Joe Kinnear director of football. Oh my days. #NUFC — Scott Wilson (@Scottwilsonecho) June 16, 2013 Joe Kinnear being strongly linked to a r... »
Alex Cuthbert might have been uncomfortable yesterday during the Lions win over the Waratahs and Simon Zebo’s belting first half. That is probably far from his mind though as he took aim at O2 today. Roaming is tricky Alex, what’s the bonus for winning the test series? 3G is rediculous ???????? pic.twitter.com/at9yZI09xt — Alex Cuthbert (@acuthbert11) June 16, 2013 »
Shane Williams was called up late last night to the Lions for their game against the Brumbies on Tuesday, he was immediately named on the wing along with fellow call up Christian Wade. Here he is talking to Talksport about the events surrounding his selection, he does sound genuinely shocked by it all. »
Rory McIlroy spent some time with 13 year old Tucker Dupont on ESPN’s “My wish”. Tucker suffers from a heart condition that means he can’t play contact sports so he developed a love for golf and Rory. Get the hankies out. »
Alexia Putellas of Barcelona was set free during her side’s 3-0 win over Zaragoza and powering through and scoring was far to boring for her, so she does a Zidane-esque piece of skill, rounds the keeper and slots home. Evidently, Barca are ace across all genders. via: reddit. »
Jason Byrne got the full page treatment in Sofia daily newspaper “match” this week. Our translation skills aren’t up to much but according to Paul Buttner it reads “Cousin of Robbie Keane is goal machine of Eire” which is brilliant, I’m sure you’ll agree. Don’t anyone show Pat Morley though. »
A story in today’s Mirror alleges that an employee of a rival Premier League club has hacked Manchester City’s “Scout 7″ program in an act of corporate espionage that will in the papers words “rock football to its core”. Indeed. The piece explains that an investigation is underway at the Ethiad because City believe someone infiltrated their scouting syste... »
The amount of players that started their trade in the League of Ireland forcing their way into the full Ireland squad has increased in recent times, so Conor Philpott asks; what is the best 11 abroad that started in the LOI? I promise a lot of goals, both for and against, it’s almost strange to think that many of these players could make a Trappatoni team without too many questions or argume... »
Andrew Trimble touches down on his 50th cap. »
Otto Martlered is his name and goalscoring is soemhow his game. The goalkeeper routinely booted the ball up the field for Falkenburg against Varberg when the ball inexplicably bounced over the opposition goalkeeper and into the net. Not a patch on Kevin Reilly’s for Meath yesterday mind. Via: 101greatgoals »
Neymar continues to divide opinion on whether or not he’s brilliant or rubbish despite none of us actually really having seen him play. Well last night he did this. So he’s ace. »
Kevin Reilly’s deep, deep ball into Wicklow territory today somehow with more than a little help from the elements, bounced and flew over John Flynn’s head and into the goal. It’s tough not to feel sorry for the keeper but its equally tough to avoid incredulous laughter. We’re calling it; the most freakish GAA goal of the year. »
So bar one more match on Tuesday against the Brumbies, the shadow boxing is over and this week a test team is selected. Where are the Lions? Who should play at 6? And should we ever pick a Lions team in November again? Paddy Logan – Ulster Rugby Nerd Last November the Nerds were invited to select their Lions XV. Looking back at it now it certainly lends credence to the views of those who think cha... »
