Wow wow wow wow wow. What a game of rugby!

[TheDrunkenOne]

How tough for an interview for England player after losing that. Respect.

[The Situation]

Watched the last 5 mins of the rugby, that was some seriously retarded closing out from England when they got the ball back with two mins left.

[shrapnel]

Jaysus thats cruel.

I feel absolutely gutted for England. They really went for it, and gave it their all.

[RasTa]

First game of league I've watched in a long time, that was great.

Shocking set with 2 minutes to go. Just not expecting to win and nerves got the better.

[V for Vendetta]

Shocking set with 2 minutes to go. Just not expecting to win and nerves got the better.

In fairness New Zealand panicked with about 8 minutes to go and than started to really swing for the fences so that naturally lead to nerves for England. The fitness and speed of that match was incredible. The best league game I've ever watched. A shame that it was a defensive mistake and not just sheer attacking brilliance in the end.

Completed the half-marathon in around 1hr 50 mins (still don't have an exact time, it was 1.52 on the clock but I set off in the last wave so we didn't actually start until the clock had been running a few minutes).

I set off behind the 2hr pacers because I'd never actually done the distance before and didn't want to push myself too hard. After a couple of kilometres though I felt like I could go a good bit quicker, and started to work my way up through the field to the 1hr 50 group.

The benefit of this approach is that I got to overtake loads of people, without ever being overtaken myself. I've pretty much never competed in a race before, but gliding past people kitted out in all the pro-running gear in my football shorts and old UCD Super League jersey would make me want to do it again.

The route took us out from Clontarf, along Dollymount Strand and on towards Sutton, and then back again. It was a lovely morning for it and there was a cracking view out across Dublin Bay. The stretch on the sand definitely provided an extra challenge, but I think I coped with it better than most.

Thanks for all the advice on preparation. I had a steak at around 7 last night and then a big bowl of pasta at 10, and my energy levels were fine this morning. In terms of fitness and energy I felt I had a bit more in the tank, but my legs were in bits by the end. Without any exaggeration, going up the stairs when I got home was harder than any part of the race. I have to say, massive fair fucks to those who do marathons, and especially the lunatics who do ultra-marathons.

That's awesome Carlop, fair play!

I finished second at the 500m National Indoor rowing comp today with a new PB 1:20.7. Calling it a brag!!

[rounders123]

Well done Carlop and Lloyd,
Always knew you were the beast Lloyd. Id be interested in what type of motivations you were using mid row when you hit the wall type thing?.

Fair play, that's very impressive. I've dipped in and out of your training log and you've displayed an inspirational amount of dedication.

'Keep going, keep going, keep going, don't stop, arghhh don't you dare fucking stop' kind of thing.

For those of you watching Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D does it get better/good I'm three episodes in and it's very iffy thinking about dumping it.

Its quite fluffy and not very meaty. If it doesn't improve in the next couple of episodes I'm going to bin it. It could do with being a bit darker and grittier. Also they could do with having proper cameos of the big superheroes.

Not massively thrilled with it. On ep8 at the moment. It needs a serious shift in gears.

Schedule is intros at 10.30, fight at 10.45.
Obviously could be delayed by earlier fights.

I'm a marvel nut. Its got massive potential. Like all whedon shows it takes a while to build a universe but when it does its amazing. I disagree about the cameos. Its nice and all but the show needs to stand on its own. Coupled with the 3 shows Netflix will be doing the potential (again that word) is astounding.
I will say its getting better. And the nods to marvel back stories and whedon verse nods thrill my nerdy core

Don't think anyone has mentioned it here about Roy Harper arrested on child sex charges. I really hope he's not guilty. Though I doubt he'll be able to defend himself properly. Really is the first 'celebrity' I hope is innocent.

I hope the netflix series is a hit and the whole universe broadens succesfully as a result. I think a casual fan base will probably want more interlinking with the greater universe and its respective cast be it cameos or crossover story arcs.

As a show in its own right I think agents could be grittier, dirtier and more grown up. My favorite episode so far was

SPOILER

when Simmons contracted the Alien virus

which was quite a bit darker than the others. Hopefully something cool happens to the dude who

SPOILER

fell into the gravitonium

and the Rising tide is a little more than analogous to some dull anonymous/wikileaks drivel.

Looking into the new shows I see Idris Elba mentioned for the role of Luke Cage. It would be awesome however I think his role as Heimdall in Thor might preclude this.

This "new" larger on-screen Marvel universe is going to be so difficult to manage in terms of continuity across TV and cinema. Everything from cast, writers, staff, and the story itself. Its just a behemoth. The logistics of managing so many aspects seems a huge task. You need someone like Whedon involved at the top level to quarterback the overall destination of the universe. You have potentially something that could run for the next decade and be amazing or have various sections wound up quickly over the next couple of years if ratings tumble.

[ArmaniJeans]

What channel is the fight on

Sky Box Office €25 believe it or not.
God be with the days when it was reserved for Tyson fights.

Probably be a stream somewhere.

[Lazare]

@ Hitch, I've just downloaded pocket casts, is there no streaming option? Bit of a pain to have to download episodes.
