It’s been a trying week so I won’t mention the rage I got listening to Brian Cowen on the Last Word last night. I also won’t call him a fat, incompetent fuck.
Nor will I mention the fact that Senator Eoghan Harris, Bertie stooge extraordinaire, made me want to tear my own face off with his ‘analysis’ afterwards. I shan’t mention a thing about how easy it is to make excuses and condemn others for their concerns when you’re raking it in off the taxpayer’s dime.
Instead I shall accentuate the postive and the World Cup preparations in Ron’s are all complete. The flat-screen TV we got for the last one has been donated to a worthy cause (my Playstation, so I can watch TV and play video games at the same time late at night), and we rocked up to Harvey Norman, did a bit of bargaining and walked out with a 50″ job for less that €700.
A Sky official wandered into Ron’s one day and told him off for not having a special pub subscription, required to show football in his bar. Ron had a word and last week a free HD box was installed along with a 14 year free trial period.
He says he’s not that bothered by what happens but is looking forward to see Maradona cocked off his tits on the sidelines trying to ensure Lionel Messi is nobbled so he doesn’t take his place as a football icon.
The rest of us will watch the games and call this player shit and that player shit and then when he scores we’ll say we always knew he had something about him. There are those who will bemoan the fact that Ireland aren’t playing but frankly I think the world can live without the silky skills of McShane and Andrews and Zindine Kilbane.
It’s not as if we won’t have a vested interested though. England are in it.
I’m up for whoever they’re playing.
morning
gonna watch some much needed fubble after i go out and play spot the eejits various here for Bloomsday
bye
I’d shout for England if it wasn’t for the blanket arrogance of the media. After all, I’m in thrall to English football for nine months of the year – I don’t really go in for that aul’ enemy bollocks.
Shit,i missed it,you wouldnt have a bit of audio would you,i havent been in a raging fit yet this morning?
Same here. This ‘auld enemy’ stuff is bollocks and doesn’t explain the oppression of the last 100 years.
There are people in Cork who wear Man U shirts because (a) a Corkman played for them (b) their shirts are the same colour as Cork county colours so it saves a few bob.
I’d regard them as much more annoying than England fans.
Those buzzing blowpipe fecking yokes they have are going to become the sound the SA World Cup. They are really fa-hucking annoying.
i recognise the massive hypocrisy of fervently supporting an english club team yet always willing failure on the national team, what can i say? im a hypocrite.
Much as it pains me to say it, I’m with the machine here. Far too many cunts in the English team.
I hope JT gets a vuvuzela stuck up his hole
Love the way the papers and sky news build themselves up into a frenzy about winning the world cup… and then go nuts when they dont.. they will be calling for Capello’s head by months end…
Tis not that we have anything against england ..
The fucking thing is putting up with the bias commentary (lineaker ..maggggggnificent goal ) and then if they win the fucking thing they wont shut up about
There bad loosers and even worse winners …. gettttttt to fuck
Also , “never doubted him”
I’m tellin’ yis, this is going to be North Korea’s year. Mark my words.
Very comfortable with the dichotomy of supporting united and hating engerland.
Fuck off cunts
Suppose there aren’t even any Liverpool players to get behind. Gerrard’s off to Spain, Carrragher’s 87-years-old and, even if he did steal a toilet seat, Glen Johnson’s still a Spurs player waiting to happen.
I’d love to see the North Korean media coverage during the tournament, where they get the DMZ’s equivalent of Skinner and Baddiel to ‘recreate’ the events in South Africa for general consumption.
God Bless America!
On North Korean TV…
North Korea will win the World Cup.And the Population will actually believe it..I shit you not.
All Players and Officials of North Korean Football Asociation will perish in a tragic plane crash..so there are no leaks..
Off to Paddy Powers it is..
Glen Johnson’s still a Spurs player waiting to happen.
heh
I’m hoping for a USA v North Korea grudge match.
What do ye think of Spain’s chances? I’m thinking I should support them as I live there at the moment, though their media have been annoyingly smug and complacent since winning the Euro championships in 2008.
On the radio yesterday – some punter has placed £55,000 each way on France.

Peadar?
I think Spain will win it.
Whoever put that much money on France is retarded.
Netherlands is available at 14/1. Thats a good bet with the quality they have in their team and an ideal base with lots of Afrikaners turning their games into home matches.
Providing they don’t selfdestruct with players walking out etc and if they get out of their group I think they’ll be hard to stop.
Van Persie is fresh and back from injury- if he hits form then he could be the golden boot winner.
14/1 … can’t be bad. Think I’ll have a few quid on that.
Providing they don’t selfdestruct with players walking out etc
The very reason i wouldnt put a penny on them..
Yeah but the Dutch camp appears quiet at this point … most Dutch walkouts happen before the start of the tournament so they’ve only got a few hours left to decide.
Lot of good players playing at a high level in that team … if they click at all there’s no way they should be at 14/1.
“On the radio yesterday – some punter has placed £55,000 each way on France.”
Like a poker-playing gambler he’s obviously hoping for a good hand.
I Got Engerland in thw world Cup sweepstake draw at work
My hands are tied
i have no choice
200 notes to the winner
i have 2 support the cunts now
Not sure the Dutch have the defence to go all the way, very potent up top though.
I just had a World Cup Poo.

I don’t understand the mentality of the typical Irish Football fan who week in, week out for the best part of a year sings the praises of this player and that player, yet when said player dons a different shirt, he’s the biggest cunt ever. Mind boggles.
And for Cowen and Co, 3 words.
Petrol…. matches………. BOOM!!
@action man – it’s not mentality, just mental but in that positive hating bitter way.
At last. A subject I cannot comment on.
“Cocked off his tits”. heh.
Coked?
“Cocked off his tits”. heh.
Coked?
He has Joe Cole on the brain the last few days…

Live in Joey Dunlop country porridge.
I’m up for France, cos if it wasn’t France it’d be us, so if they win it means we would have won had it been us.
hey 20 – come visit my blog! http://arsekick.blogspot.com

Mr Green… Glove Muppet
“just finished watching the isle of man tt highlights on setanta. fucking brilliant. that’s my sport for the weekend done and dusted. football me hoop”
Watched some of that, those fuckers are mad in the head!
Why is motorbike racing and rallying so big in Norn Iron?
Would it be an insurance issue?
nto quite the same as being on a bike, but look up “mcguinness onboard” on youtube.
as for popularity of in northern ireland, maggot might have an idea. one thing i do know is that for bikers, having a bike is a lot more important than little things like where you come from, what you do or what you believe in. sort of a religion in itself, but one that is inclusive, not exclusive. hmm, dry roads, bit of sunshine, going off to pray
Makes sense alright Porridge. Can only be a positive thing so.
biggest sporting event in ireland (north or south) is the northwest 200. around 100,000 people with just one thing on their minds – motorbikes. been there a good few times, have met people from all over the world and never, ever had any trouble from anyone. everyone should be on a motorbike
Slovenia – gayest goal celebration ever.
You don’t see so many farmers on the old Honda 50s these days. Down in Connemara they all had them. They were great for the poor fellas left on their own in the middle of nowhere. It would get them to a dance or the pub. The things probably kept them alive through having regular contact with others.
I didnt hear those buzzing blowpipe fecking yokes during the USA game, strange
“the things probably kept them alive through having regular contact with others”. too true – they all used to meet up and go for rides in the countryside together
I don’t really know why 2 wheel road racing is so attractive- but it’s huge. Roads here are suitable, as with the IOM, for really exciting sport.
When I was having physio there was a chap in a wheelchair learning how to walk again – his ambition ?
To get back on his Suzuki.
There’s a ton of Joey Dunlop material on YouTube. When he died round here it was like the day JFK was shot.
I remember an interview with him about a vital walled corner at the Isle of Man – had to go round it about 100 mph. He said he knew he was taking it right when his head was touching the wall as he went round – and there on his helmet were the scratches to show he wasn’t bullshitting.
A really decent bloke.
Stupid vuvuzelas.
germany march on.
ozil looks a great little player.
delighted to see that violent cunt lucas neill humiliated with the whole world watching.
Johnny Piles and Sounness discussing the problems of playing at 5000ft altitude and Dunphy pipes up that he’s that high all the time.
:o)
Who are you all going to support if England play France ??
