I was courting a lass 80 miles from home and had a puncture on way up to visit. I replaced with spare and stopped at next garage to get tyre repaired. I had another puncture and thought thank feck I got tyre repaired. I replaced again and a few miles later I got another puncture! I had no spare this time but I knew there was a garage a mile up road so I removed wheel and left car locked and on jack and was rolling/carrying wheel on way to garage. A car full of women drove past and slowed down whooping and laughing at me pushing a wheel along. Little did they know that a car ahead had stopped at junction and they crashed into back of it. I wheeled my wheel past them with a smile on my face

Shame he didn't play Soul Limbo though we did git Hip Hug-Her (used in the opening scene of Barfly) which is my fav.
Great to see a living legend in such an intimate space and hanging out signing autographs and posing for pics afterwards.

I was hoping that our local man the recently deceased Paddy Power would make an appearance with his Belgrano intervention but it didn't happen.
I suppose next week will be concentrating on the tribunals, it would be so much better if they went back and did the early days 60 - 75 instead.
I don't get why they didn't do the Arms trial, there is no one left alive to libel is there?Turning millions into thousands

Would the Arms trial era still have 'unknowns' though, stuff that isn't yet in the public domain?

the actor is Padraig McIntyre (relation of yours?) and he plays the part of 'T.D.'.
So I guess he is there as the personification of FF gombeenery."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Watched Foxcatcher last night.
They did some job of the Make Up with Steve Carrell.
I found this video a decent watch after the movie. Possibly a couple of spoilers.

He really was such a divisive character though, I remember my mother & her mother having blazing rows about him, interesting times i guess. Clip below I guess is how he spoke/acted in general.

Realised I have no clue about the politics of that era. reading some of the wiki articles is eye-opening stuff. Operation Armageddon is particularly WTF-inducing.

If it had happened obv the Irish Army would have capitulated in a matter of minutes and we could now be a fully functioning semi autonomous region of the UK much like Scotland or Wales.

It's a complete joke, however, that a goal in a ladies match against Wexford Youths should be eligible for an award like that. There should be a line drawn somewhere about the standard of match that qualifies and this falls far below what it should be.
Saying that, I think van Persie should win.

It was a senior top tier league game, so theoretically the same level on the pyramid as an EPL or Bundesliga match, which they wouldn't exclude.
I think its fine that's it there on its merits anyway, very special goal.
Interestingly I just logged onto the FIFA site to look at them again and vote for Rodriguez* (the best goal) but clicked on Roches goal to have another look (its the first one on the page). 'Thank you for your vote for Stephanie Roche'. She could win because of a badly laid out website!
*RVPs the one which will be highlightreeled in 70 years though, the most memorable.

Of course it's tokenism. I've scored a thousand better goals on the road.

I think the nomination for the Puskas award was justified by the quality of the goal on its own merits. That it was scored by a woman who plays for Peamount United doesn't really matter. It was a brilliant piece of technique that would have graced any stage.
The grassroots campaign that led her to the top 3 and the awards ceremony was completely the result of tokenism, and I'm totally ok with that."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

1. Stephanie Roche wins public vote but not the award
2. Sepp engages in some Keysesque sexist bants

Technique wise, I honestly think it was the best quality goal (it may not be possible to be 100% objective, but I'm trying my best).
Whether it should qualify due to the standard is an another argument. But as has been pointed out, it was at the highest level in the land (admittedly, still not a massively high level). So arguments can be made that a) women's football should not be eligible or it should have a separate award, or b) some sort of league ranking system should be introduced (similar to what they use for the Golden Shoe) and La Liga can't be seen as the same standard as League of Ireland. The problem with any of that is, firstly, the international aspect of things - is a goal in Faroe Islands vs Georgia worth the same as a goal in Argentina vs Germany, even though it's the same competition - and more importantly, a goal is a goal, you're not judging someone on overall quality, achievements for a season, pressure faced etc, you're judging someone on one particular piece of skill.
So yeah tl;dr, fuck the haterz, the goal is legit, Steph is the best.

I think the big game goals definitely merit more weight when considering who should be selected but I've no problem seeing genuinely exceptional goals from a lower level make it through and hers definitely was.Profit before people.
