Westmeath with the big heart second half. Brilliant goal to round it off.

Some craic at croker

[Zod]

Lol Meath.

Dublin supremacy.

[eamonhonda]

Going for that goal was so bad! Why didn't they drop a man back when 10 points up. So so bad

One time Kildare please!

[coillcam]

Where the fuck did that Westmeath 2nd half performance come from? Some collapse by the royals. I'd say Bubbleking is ready to explode.

The only thing I'm worried about is that we'll celebrate the Meath win, forget about the Leinster final to be played and lose to Dublin by 15 points. No offence to Kildare but the Dublin juggernaut is not going to be stopped today.

If we take the game seriously we'll lose by 15 points. Go on the beer for a few days, and it will be closer to 30.

Don't really care though - beating Meath for the first time ever in championship football was sweet, especially with such a great comeback.

Sigh. They didn't even give us any hope to cling to. I'm happy my parents moved all those years ago now

My v wh worth the price of admission

Glad you enjoyed that one SP😀

In fairness if ye had taken half your chances...

Dublin back line are terrible apart from Cooper.

[Bubbleking]

Happy out for Westmeath. We got what we deserved

[DeadParrot]

Coco bongo was fucking epic.
Unbelievably good

[Zod]

Kildare should really focus on kicking the ball over the bar instead of trying to get Dublin players sent off.

Yeah disappointing alright but nothing majorly impressive about dublin can't wait to see them shit themselves against Kerry again.

Really? You think dublin playing like this would beat Kerry? Its not hard for them to run up a score against a beaten team. It's time to take them out of croke park for Leinster games.

Enjoyed Westmeaths win today. Nice to see a county where the team actually are amateurs holding down real jobs win unlike the semi-pro fudgers of some of the big counties

Stop. It's pathetic. Dublin canter through Leinster now. Did it in 2013 too and then played the game of the decade out with Kerry. Kerry are deserved All Ireland champions and probably the best team in the country but let's not pretend they don't walk out of Munster.

Dublin barely got going and destroyed a pathetic Kildare team. Kildare are division 3 and they look it. Westmeath have some spirit but doubt it'll be anything more than the same again in 2 weeks. Championship starts proper August bank holiday weekend. Still Kerry favorites for me. Then Dubs and Donegal. Should be a fun run in.

Olympic Games but just for European countries.
Bit like the PanAmerican Games, Asian Games that you may have heard referred to over the years.

Was there a pressing need for it? Athletics for example already has Olympics, world championships and European championships. Doubt it's slotting in high in the prestige stakes for many sports, don't think I'd have heard of it this week only for Katie Taylor winning

Athletics (along with some others like swimming I think) isn't actually a part of it for basically the reasons you put forward.
You are right that it wasn't particularly demanded that I can see.
Also they needed the first one to be on BBC and RTE instead of BT and Setanta for it to feel important. Azerbaijan was also not an ideal host (only ones who offered though).
The second Euro Games is in Holland in 4 years time, it may make it more relevant.

[Solskjaer]

I'm quite enjoying the Baku games at the moment , loved the Irish wimmins performance in the 3 on 3 basketball, plus the badminton is always good to watch. Too much other shite on TV jmo, should be just sport and music and discovery channel type crap I'm creating a demand for whatever the fk you want to call it , i'll watch it, games .

They have swimming. Holland pulled out too, currently no host for 4 years time.

You're half right. The Matt that you refer to would be my Dad's cousin, I think. There's about 6 Matt's in the family. Can get confusing at family occasions.

What does this mean in terms of the US$ exchange rate? I.e. it's currently around 1.12; does it get closer to parity, or further away?

(I freely and unashamedly admit to having no knowledge of financial matters.)

Bump - Can one of you financial nerds tell me which way you expect the $-euro exchange rate to go?

Indeed I knew the family and Matt who would be in his 50's now back in the day, I think there are a few of them still around. I think I saw one of them died in the last couple of years but I think that was the father of the Matt I knew.

Yep. You're spot on.

Over in Athens, Greece’s governing Syriza party has now issued an appeal for Greeks to attend a mass rally in Syntagma Square on Monday night to say “NO” to austerity.

Helena Smith reports
The radical leftists are urging Greeks to rally under the banner: “The Greek people cannot be blackmailed - cannot be terrorised. Defend Democracy.”

The appeal said:

“On the 5th of July we will say OXI (NO) to austerity. We will say OXI to the lenders’ ultimatums. We will say NO to the abolishment of democracy.

We will participate in tomorrow’s rally and send a strong message of pride, hope and dignity to Greece and Europe,”

Expect capital controls by the end of the weekend, probably army on the streets too.

A bit ott, but not nearly as booorish, rude and just unpleasant as the moronic drunk Dublin 'fans' I had the misfortune of being sat in front of.

LOL at the Ignorant fools who like a majority of Dubs missed the great entertainment of the Meath Westmeath game.

Just in case you were wondering; pretty much all the Greek sovereign debt has been taken up by supranationals over the last five years

Actually in terms of Irish political betting, this market might be worth a second look:

http://www.paddypower.com/bet/politics/other-politics/irish-politics?ev_oc_grp_ids=1176658

the SF line is currently 28.5

with multiple bodies being pulled out of bogs and their pals in Greece commiting hari-kari (and thus kindly exposing just how dangerous Syriza Fein's economic illiteracy is for us here), the Unders are looking pretty damn attractive

I made the definitive unders case when the line was at 33.5 a few months ago, just saying

It takes a special kind of reasoning to think that you can vote your creditors into offering more acceptable terms for loans.

Kildare were awful. Not just bad but awful. Caught most of the Meath v Westmeath game. Meath lost it through stupidity rather than lack of talent but fair play to Westmeath for not giving up.

Have to say Kildare's antics in the 2nd half were silly but the referee did neither side any favours. Way too lenient in some respects and then suddenly starts handing out cards to beat the band. There's a good team in that Kildare side but Jason Ryan can't find them
