Blue ROI

Great band.

Album from the Kompakt label from 2007. Takes a good few listens to grow on you but you'll never hear a certain Lionel Ritchie song in quite the same way again!

Shame about the passing of George Michael. Always thought this was ace.

The one before loveless that's not as good as loveless supposedly. Actually maybe it is!

When the man heads the ball And scores his first city goal That's Amartey! To amore by Dean Martin

I'm not knowledgeable enough to take sides on this but it doesn't look great for both parties on some aspects. O Shea wouldn't be my favourite footballer but calling out the previous manager who they played with was a bit unwarranted. You'd have to question the goalkeeper decision. Surely no player going into an all Ireland final can call the shots on that so to speak.

An article that appeared in the Irish national media last Saturday. http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/holmesconnelly-on-mayo-revolt-aidan-osheas-selection-email-seamus-lobbying-for-hennelly-and-clashes-over-mass-times-35301012.html Mayo's management for 2015 stepped down after a vote of no confidence from the Mayo squad. After 14 months of silence they gave their own version of events at the weekend.

Playing man utd in the last 16 of the Europe league.

Was in the le coq sportif store in London on Friday. The st etienne retro and modern collection is something else. I'm in! #joinourclub!

1-0 to Ireland. Austria beyond terrible but a great win. In with a great chance of qualifying now.

Would be more at home in the 90s for its sound really but just sneaks into the 80s.

Slimmy's winning matches, Slimmy's winning games Slimmy's bringing Leicester back to winning ways again! Based on the chorus of a 2012 reggae tinged Gaelic Football song made over here in Ireland. Song was named after the then Donegal manager Jimmy Mcguinness -Now a performance coach at Celtic. Donegal won the all ireland title (Ireland's equivalent of the premiership). Would suit our new Algerian star!

As a Limerick man I can relate to the agony. Did she get to witness 1950 and/or 1951?

October's Goal of the Month!

Average enough game but great excitement and drama for a finish. This could have been the cruelest loss of all for Mayo had Dublin won. They could have won it.To their credit they fought back when all seemed lost. Dublin can count themselves lucky.Anyone other than Mayo and they were gone today. Could we get Claudio over to talk to Mayo?

Up for the match on RTE now. So bad it's good. An irish tradition!

All Ireland final day tomorrow. One of the best days of the Irish sporting year. Over 80,000 expected. Reigning champions and red hot favourites Dublin against perennial bridesmaids Mayo who have lost their last 7 finals and could break a record tomorrow. Assuming there is no dubs here hopefully Mayo will get over the line tomorrow. Was 19:51 when i typed this!

Probably suggested already but an Eminem Slim-shady style chant for Slimani might go down well.

Looks like Leicester's title win brought a few lads over http://www.the42.ie/michael-quinlivan-tipperary-2890745-Jul2016/

Fair play to Tipp. Had my doubts about them but they were in no way flattered to win by 9 points.

Scrolling through and reading this I thought you were on about Chris Waddle and Glenn Hoddle. Diamond lights now theres an 80s classic!

All Ireland Hurling final today between Kilkenny and Tipperary at 3.30. Kilkenny favourites to win. Tipp on their day could beat anyone but a bit flaky when the chips are down.

USMNT beat St Vincent 6-0. Should Trinidad and Tobago win tonight themselves and the US advance to the next stage in CONCACAF.
