Blue ROI

Mayo 2-15 Derry 1-12. 5 minutes gone in extra time.

After almost kicking the game away in normal time Mayo suddenly have got going.

Looks like its over.

Onto the hurling between Limerick and Kilkenny on sky sports.

Free in for derry to win it...

Missed. Mayo then go down the field but miss.

Draw. Extra time.

Some drama.

GOAL FOR MAYO!

1-12 to 0-12. A cracker of a goal from one of the subs.

Look to have it now.

Edit. Goal for Derry! Level.

Last year's all Ireland football finalists Mayo in a bit of bother here. 

Derry 0-12 Mayo 0-10.

10 minutes to go.

Rate that Bristol City top. Good of Plymouth to produce an away kit the same colour as their home one.

 

Bayern away. Based on a kit from 1997.

 

Bayern unique in that they regularly change the home shirt and never settle on one colour. 

They nearly always get it spot on with their designs in fairness. Rarely a bad bayern kit. 

Kasper is by far and away the best keeper of my time supporting Leicester. 

I was dreading the sevilla away leg and only for him it could have been a rout. 

Pleased that he's still with us for now. We could replace an outfield player easier than we could kasper. 

Auf wiedersehen pet first series episode  on the yesterday channel tonight. 

Rediscovered this lately. Still sublime. 

A 2-0 win v Uzbekistan means Iran have qualified from their group. South Korea in 2nd place,1 point ahead of Uzbekistan.South Korea have made the last 8 world cup tournaments.

Iran the 3rd team to have qualified along with Russia and Brazil.

You just knew Mexico would find a way to equalize.

Still it's been a good turnaround for ye since Bruce got involved again.

Costa Rica have wobbled in their last 2 games so USA should be strong enough to qualify from here.

1-0 to the USA after 6 minutes.

What a strike from Bradley.

Close to a major upset in football tonight. 

Munster championship first round. 

Cork 1-12 waterford 1-11.

Waterford would have been close to 10/1 to win that.

Just to think Kane scored more against us in 2 hours than Musa has all season.

I haven't been impressed by musa but to me that's a bit of an unfair comparison.

Enjoyable read that Fez. Looking at the headline I was expecting the usual cliches of honour, snakes, big time chariles but you got the message across.

It's been hard work in Ireland explaining the situation to neutrals.

People were coming up to me after the Sevilla win for a chat but when the topic of Ranieri came up everyone was against it and when I gave the background to the story (League One onwards-) people were still saying how could ye remove Ranieri.

The SKY/Talksport thing has been well documented but sports media reporting tends to be very conservative in Ireland.

Theres been a number of falling outs between players and management in the GAA the national sports over here. Print media tends to back the management to he hilt and players are often vilified.(Look for articles on a Mayo Gaelic Footballer called Aidan O'Shea to see how ugly this can get).

Print media is what influences people and for the most part nobody here has a clue about Leicester beyond 2016. The obsession is United, Liverpool, Arsenal etc. The initial reaction in these circumstances when a traditionally middle of the road team gets glory is to blame everyone except the manager. Only in RTE did Eamon Dunphy agree with the decision. That said Dunphy has always gone against the grain with his opinions.

You'll find though that teams that are perceived to be sucessful are fully justified in what they do but not little ol' Leicester.

Eurovision tonight.

My favourite Eurovision song (not many I've heard). Luxembourg winner from the 60s. Serge Gainsbourg was the composer.

Home kit isn't bad. Not keen on the away. 

Noticed our former kit maker Burrda seems to have disappeared completely. 

Sligo 1-20 New York 1-12. Any hope of a shock gone.

Football championship underway

New York 1-12 Sligo 0-14. 20 minutes to go.

New York almost beat Roscommon last year. They are made up of emigrants that have settled in the big apple. Were 3/1 to win this.

5 league wins at home in a row.

If I'm right thats the first time we've won that many in the Premier League era and the first 5 top flight in a row since 1983/84.

We can dance, we can dance,everybody look at your pants!

No release clause. Likely captain next year. Won't push for a move unless he's on the bench and not playing. Knows how crucial he is for our success, having seen from the stands what happened when he was out with injury. Stubborn as heck. Hates being compared to his dad. Don't see him moving for EL football. His comments about playing CL make me slightly uncomfortable, but still convinced he'll stay.

The comparison to his dad is a good point to make.

Going to Utd may mean that he has a very hard task emulating what Peter achieved. Peter has a higher stature in the game as he has succeeded at international level as well as club due to the Ferguson era. I know from reading up on some sons of legendary players and they point out they are very much their own man and want to be judged on their own merits.

Kasper has been slightly more of a leader for us than his dad for Man U. The comparison is there but Kasper has created a greater legacy than what people would have thought possible 5 years ago.

Only catching up with this utter cretin Durham and his rant.

What the actual f""""!

Fry and Laurie. Their sketch show in the late 80s had some great stuff.

Leicester exit the Champions league at the same stage as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Teams that made the Champions league final in 7 of the last 9 years.

Watched the match on BT but recorded TV3 version.....Couldn't believe the crap Souness was spouting....Dissappointed Kilbane didn't have a go at him as we met him on the way to and back from the Sevilla match and he was very positive about us and how we play....Sourness such a bitter twat ...

Souness seems to have a chip on his shoulder from how badly it went from his own management career. You can sense that he's only looking for any opportunity he can get to have a go at the modern player.

Looking forward to how RTE cover our match after tonights games. Dunphy has been the only one on the media over here to back the decision.
