Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[Strewelpeter]

What dumb play did he have bar the one offload that went arseways?!

You really are the worst when it comes to sport.

I'm happy for Earls to be in there, obviously I would rather Payne but Earls has been our best back of the tournament so far and is playing with confidence.

Its not just about the offloads, its about being in the right place and knowing where the other players are.
I have very little confidence in his ability to play centre against a good team and especially against a big strong team.
But as you point out I know fuck all and Schmidt is the messiah. Hopefully I'm way wrong about this as well.

[Jibzzzz]

Pints, Kebab, Can o Coke

[eamonhonda]

Yeah I'll be leaving early in the morning so probably going to have a few glasses of red rather than the heap of pints.

I do love pizza however.

Keep the suggestions coming lads.

Bangers mash peas and onion gravy

I'm obviously a luddite when it comes to phones, but all this talk of one plus two, moto x and the likes does my head in. Like when will we eventually say ok that phone is perfect, it doesn't need anything else. Why don't we just get huge arse pockets and stick a laptop in there.

Mine can phone people (horray), text people, email, get the racing results and I can take pictures/videos of drunk lads in BK. What the fuck else do you need?????

I just want a decent battery!

Am actually tempted to do some homemade kebabs to a RasTa recipe I found in the cooking thread.

No time for marinading but it would probably be ok....

Agreeing with the auld fella.

Earls isn't good enough in the centre for Munster, let alone Ireland. Hopefully he makes me eat these words.

Turn up, say the words, smile for the photos.

Long-term if you remember one of birthday\Xmas p.a., I'd say you're ahead of the game.

Too much to mention. The No.1 is get the candle organised yourself and hold onto it throughout. The godparents need to go up to light a candle. Dont be handed a candle by a mudder or someone and expect to take it out of the box like it will be ready to go. Make sure the candle is unwrapped so your not peeling furiously at it when your up.
No.2 Dont let the godmother anywhere near the candle because if shes carrying it shes lighting it(not traditional). The godmother will be sitting beside you throughout and in the hush of the church its not easy to do the necessary verbals to extract it from her so be sure not to let her have it in the first place. Because if shes lighting it it emasculates you.

Sit in a position on the isle so when it comes your turn to approach the alter to do the duty you are not walking out from the middle of the pew past people trying not to trip and putting them out to sway away to let you out cinema style. If this happens you will feel several mudder eyes burning into your soul(if you were baptised) lamenting your newbieness.

If there are alter boys/girls its the godfathers job to approach them afterwards and give them some money for their duty. Used be a grushie in the old days but a bit more dignified for the later boys(if any)now it seems.

Several more etiquettes but that takes away the mystery for you.
By the way baptisms these days arent always done by priests. They now have baptism ministers which are lay people that work jobs but do baptisms as a calling after falling of making priest. These are often more hip but if its a baptism minister they will state it.

The Moto X is apparently 2-days guaranteed. Can't vouch for that factoid, but think it's true.

What's the story with bus passes in Dublin?

Similar to oyster?

What are the best deals (AJ, looking at you)

Ta

Probably too late now but the tourist pass (€30 for 72 hours unlimited including airlink, hop on/hop off tour) is the best deal if you're here for the weekend. It used to be only sold at the airport but I think you can buy it online now too.

I wonder, just looking at that in the light of the reffing\video reffing this WC, would that be a yellow card on Sunday?

See the way he follows through with the arm.

lol, was wondering the same thing. not sure tbh. he doesn't lead with it, which is what they are targeting mainly, but it does come up after impact.

looking at it again, Sexton has his head pretty low and goes into contact with the lowered forearm, it only comes up after, so i don't think it would be cited

Was accepted for Alpha this year so I'll let you know.

It's a complete fucking scam. I 'won' about a meter and a half of exhibition space with 4 x entry tickets (Exhibition hall only). All I have to do is pay the motherfucking €2K processing fee and I'm good to go. Just read the smallprint..Can only exhibit for one of the 3 days. There may be an incident...

Sure he won't be getting the ball anyway so Earls will be grand.

Gil Renard: Don't get greedy, son. Don't get greedy. What we need now is a sacrifice. A winning team has to know how to manufacture runs. Coop taught me that. He used to say the most beautiful play in the game is a sacrifice fly, and you know why?
Richie Renard: 'Cause you give yourself up for the team?
Gil Renard: And it doesn't even count against your average. That's why baseball's better than life - it's fair.

And not so long ago you had proper centres.

Spedding fits the PSA mould, but dulin is a great runner from deep, and i'd say that's where he ll be running from... A lot

Henshaw is decent tbf

Fofana would get a game for us.

Bastareaud would be a handy option for us off the bench. At loose head.

Conflicting emotions now . Really not sure if I want us to win or not from purely a selfish pov.

Can't work out how I used to literally sit on a couch for a few hours watching whatever was on telly, and then do the same the next day, and the next. What a bizarre activity.

Seemingly Americans still do this in great numbers and for great amounts of their free time.

There's something cool about it at the same time. Love/Hate was a real event every Sunday night. Plus channel hopping always affords you the chance to see something that isn't something you'd necessarily actively go looking for, but might enjoy anyway.

They're such a different team without McCaw. Underwhelming showing so far in the tournament though, even when he played.

[Guest]

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/08/refugee-crisis-germany-creaks-under-strain-of-open-door-policy

“The welcome parties in Munich, Berlin and elsewhere were great,” said the Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung in a recent editorial... "but now we’re in the stark light of day which consists of overcrowded refugee centres and local authorities and police stretched to their limits.” Arson attacks on refugee shelters continue on an almost daily basis. Reports of refugees being greeted at the doors of their new homes by neo-Nazis humming Third Reich songs or being pelted with banana skins are not uncommon. There are mounting concerns that elements of the far-right have found new oxygen in the crisis by tapping into ordinary people’s fears that Europe’s largest economy may be unable to cope with the decision to allow so many to take refuge within its borders.

[TheDrunkenOne]

are refs scared to give penalty trys?

yellow card, 4 scrum penalties, at what stage does he give one

[ComradeCollie]

Feeling intense impatience at the minutes its taking the computer to copy the last two seasons of Veep onto a USB. Imagine what it was like when you had to walk to the video store for a video, or wait patiently for the timeslot of your favoured TV show. We must have had the patience of saints back then.

Can't work out how I used to literally sit on a couch for a few hours watching whatever was on telly, and then do the same the next day, and the next. What a bizarre activity.

Seemingly Americans still do this in great numbers and for great amounts of their free time.

If it's taking minutes, you probably should invest in a newer/faster USB

Edit: I was thinking episodes, not seasons.

Plus channel hopping always affords you the chance to see something that isn't something you'd necessarily actively go looking for, but might enjoy anyway.

That still kinda happens though, just in a different way. Watched the first episode of 'Dr. Ken' last week just because it was there. It's pure muck btw

Have a vague memory of whatever channel Ice Road Truckers, Pawn Stars is on being consistently surprising. (think they're both the same channel anyway)

Discovery I think. BBC4 is class. Hard to find a bad show on it.

[Solskjaer]

Didn't he have 2 offloads didn't go to hand? (and I only saw highlights!)

Earls is the only man for the job given that Payne's out, bit of a disaster really.

I much prefer seeing Keith on the wing, playing on the wing, in form on the wing, being confident on the wing.

He's not quite got the right mindset for centre, though is a brilliantly natural winger.

Hoping he has a good game though!

Apart from the lineout why do you think Toner is in ahead of Henderson. ?

Also does anyone have a link to a docu on Willie John Mcbrde (Willie John) that aired last Feb /march . Interesting time to play for the Ireland/the Lions with the troubles etc. The ol Uncle was talking about him as though he'd walk into ANY team. A bit before my time but would love to see the doc.

[thechamp87]

Aus by far the best team I've seen.

Agreed, they're fantastic imo. And they've a lot of depth in the back row which they build their game around. Hooper out would be a huge loss to most other teams but shouldn't affect them too much tomorrow with McMahon slotting straight in. We had a chunk on them +2 last weekend.

Have a sizeable e/w bet on Argentina for the whole thing at 66/1 with PP and Ladbrokes (1/3 odds for the final) which I'm pretty happy with it at the moment. Would rather them play France next weekend I think.
