    Pretty sure there's a bird sanctuary in Wicklow that might have some, there's definitely some decent sized birds of prey here though may not have been an eagle

      ...Yeah, think his hand went towards the ball so right decision...But absolutely no chance it was a free kick leading up to the goal, didn't touch him...

        Buzzard imo, upon further research.

            Downright clinical. France have had more goals than chances.

              Croatian keeper's modus operandi seems to be 'plant the feet and look puzzled as the ball goes into the net'.

                  Hard to see them even backing off now out of courtesy as every player on the pitch will want to be scoring a World Cup Final goal.
                  You should know better really.

                    That was nearly as good as the Lollerpool keeper in the CL final.

                                  Kerry were absolutely terrible today. Clifford remains a class act. The last place I’d want to go after that is Clones. Monaghan could put them out of the Championship.

                                      Yep. Monaghan know a win will put them through. Kerry more likely to finish bottom than go through imo. Could be all over before the 3rd game anyway if Monaghan beat them and Galway win which you'd expect. Disaster.

                                                    Are you saying you don't want Trump to get a second term?

                                                        You'd like to think he doesn't have the linguistic capacity to understand what the word Foe means but you get the feeling that Putin wanted it said before Trump goes to collect his wages.

The only ball we won cleanly in midfield was when he came on. Our best play was from 70 to 75 minutes when we actually kicked long ball and attacked. It was very frustrating. When we conceded the goal we had an extra man on cos Galway had a man sent off and a black card issued which left them on 13 for a few moments but somehow we managed to get turned over inside their 45 and concede a goal.

                                                                          Of all the problems (and there were many) the most inexplicable was how they got absolutely cleaned at midfield. Savage and Moran are probably the best pair in Ireland (although Brian Howard might oust MDMA and challenge that) but they were brutalized.
                                                                          Originally posted by dobby View Post

The only ball we won cleanly in midfield was when he came on. Our best play was from 70 to 75 minutes when we actually kicked long ball and attacked. It was very frustrating. When we conceded the goal we had an extra man on cos Galway had a man sent off and a black card issued which left them on 13 for a few moments but somehow we managed to get turned over inside their 45 and concede a goal.
                                                                          Absolutely cleaned at midfield but lost most of the battles. Clifford and to a lesser extent geaney the only 2 to turn up. Our kickouts again were embarrassing. There were plenty of opportunities for quick ones but Murphy couldn't find his man. Cluxton would have done so blindfolded. Moran too slow again to release ball and trying the miracle pass all day. No pace from the half backs.

                                                                          Too much to work on in 7 days for me. If we were at home next I'd be hopeful but clones....yikes. Kerry out and fitz gone after kildare match I reckon.

Sure, Galway pressured the kick and protected the D pretty well but Kerry are miles better than their kicking display on Sunday. Still reckon they're not the finished article but Clones is a nightmare place to have to travel off the back of that game with your Championship on the line.

Like we are good at targeting opp kickouts but can't get our own right. And that is after 5 years of trying. Another 2 at least yesterday kicked out over the sideline.

                                                                              Also not enough presence around the D. There was a lot of space in there yesterday but no one in there to receive it.

                                                                                          Same reason as if it was a Croatian free kick, mandzukic flicked it on and scored, he'd be credited with the goal. It doesn't have to be off target and diverted in to be an OG, that's about as clear an OG as you'll see

                                                                                            FIFA have always been harsher than the EPL who seem to veer towards 'if it could be considered in any way to be somewhat vaguely on target then give it to the forward'. FIFA/UEFA have always been more prone to giving own goals.
                                                                                            I don't think theres an actual rule - ultimately there doesn't have to be because all that matters is 'is it over the line?' and if so it's a goal. Knowing who scored it is unimportant (except for offside situations).

Pressure cooker is just a way to cook things really fast by steaming under pressure, and keeping all the nutrients, but i've never made a dish in it

                                                                                                      i thought slow cooker was for casserole type dishes, so not sure why you would want to compare the 2? Pressure cooker is just a way to cook things really fast by steaming under pressure, and keeping all the nutrients, but i've never made a dish in it
                                                                                                      They are also good for braising slow cooked meats like beef cheek, shortrib. Making stocks etc. Speeds up the process slightly. After it's finish she'd you can taste and abd adjust as needed.

                                                                                                            Probably because griezemann's strike was not a shot. If he was shooting and it got a similar flick it would have been his goal.

On looking back, it seems like there are a lot of boats around but there really weren't except for a couple of spots, and even then they're like 50 meters away and you just don't notice them.
