I was barred from watching the matches last year when United was suffering a run of poor form. Limerick Gal kicked me out of the pub, and demanded that I no longer watch matches, and I ended up giving her my kits.

And now they win.

Fuckers.

That is too much to hope, yes.

Caesar’s death was foretold by a shower of shin-pads in the sky.

No. Wait. It was a shower of metaphors.

But isn’t football a metaphor for something? Life was it, or was it shin-pads? I always get these 2 mixed up.

Hey Bock can’t make the Cardiff affair. One of the lads got a place on the Cookie bus and he’s getting bitterer (you know) by the day. Is there really a boat leaving Kinsale? That’s mad! There’s a strange calm about, which can only be a prelude to the storm. Safe journey now and shove it into them …………….

Eolaí: I switched over when the Irish commentator said “my word!”

Brian and Tony: I’ll just leave you to slug it out. Except to ask Tony about the JCBs. Did you have in mind giants like Stringer, Dowling and Howlett, as opposed to gentle souls like Drogba and Hargreaves?

Primal: I do these things so you don’t have to.

snookertony, Are you busting on Baseball? Shame on you. I figure that watching a (so called) game wherein when one guy passes the ball to another is exciting and a reason to shout and yell is in fact fun and exciting. By the way, I’ve been to Old Trafford so I’m not so ignorant as you may think.
I like how I use to put it to a former boss of mine.
soccer is a game and Baseball is a sport!

Fair play to ya, Bock - you sat through the whole thing.

I got hauled to the pub once to watch Ireland play Holland in the world cup and only survived to half-time. I took my pint and newspaper around to the bookies’ next door and he and I read it cover to cover to pass the time.
