      I hope McGregor gets beaten so badly he quits for good and shuts up.

        Folks,

        I have a brunch reservation for The Ivy in Dublin for this Sunday (5th August). It's reserved for 11:30AM for 2 people.

        I can't make it now as have to head to Wicklow for the weekend.

        Was going to just cancel it but thought I'd see if anybody here wanted to take up the reservation before I did?

                It's been ridiculously flawed and fragile stuff by both sides but still compelling. Kohli is a god.

                Never mind yer auld cricket today. Ireland have a huge chance (I'd make them 5/4) to reach the hockey World Cup final. 2pm today.

                              All Stokes needs now is a pot belly and a mullet in order to be recognized as a truly great all-rounder

                                      In Europe at least we are close enough to the tipping point on the long fableld cashless society.
                                      In two weeks in Denmark and Norway who aren't using € without getting any local currency and probably used no more than €50 cash in the whole month.

                                          They're out on their feet, playing really low percentage passes round the D. 40 hours between matches is not enough recovery time in that heat.

                                          We'd take a shootout now if offered.

                                            Down to who has the best keeper now. Based on what I've seen of her so far, ours is very good.

                                                                                              So basically the objective is to move the keeper around, force them to commit and then create an angle to put it past them. The Irish keeper however just refuses to commit, stays on her feet and makes the forward panic. She is exceptionally good.
