Plenty of goals so. A rainy day with a sodden pitch would be worse than a dry but windy day.

[KevIRL]

lolKerry

[BobSloane]

Easy win imo


Whats the weather like in Dublin today folks?

Assuming its not shite altogether, then over 46.5pts total in the Leinster hurling final @evs is worth some serious lumpage imo. Have 10pts on it already

50 bucks duly lumped.! probly need 5 goals+ for that total but should be a good sweat at least with these two.
What u think of clare 5/6 to beat dublin next w/e.? I thought they would be shorter tbh..not sure if its huge value or anything though

That is serious value, Clare looked very good against us in the Munster Semi final and have a young eager team. Dublin havent looked good all season really and seem to be suffering from second season syndrome. Will be lumping on that, fancy Clare to win by a four-five points in fact.

No chance of them being 1.6

They should be 1.2 at the moment, Powers were 1/2 a few minutes ago. Thanks.

iam trying to download 6 films using torrents from 3 different sites since lastnight and not a smidge of any of them downloaded yet

[KevIRL]

Do I hear vuvuzela's in Killarney?

[Theresa]

Man I run so good. Won just under 200 blips last night off the lads before heading out.

While drinking we stuck on an old version of Pro Ev, Computer V Computer and had bets on all manner of things. First goal scorers, outright winners, if there'll be a penalty, possession estimation(get the stats at half time), number of fouls.

I cleaned up.

Another thing, anyone have any recommendations for some new music?

Eircom?. Theyre trotteling the sh!t out of sam torrance. Can be as low as 12kb/s. Weekday workdays they ease up but recently evenings and weekends have been pretty bad.
6 at the same time though, thats just greedy!

Piratebay is blocked though, but there's no throttling going on.

I've said for a while now that I thought Galway will Leinster but KK go on to win the AI. Hard to know though with KK, they could score a goal early on so easily

[Bubbleking]

bit the bullet on at 4.6

one time early good startaments galway

[KevIRL]

Waterford ref = Galway win

[KevIRL]

Not a great game. KK following on from the last day and missing an unusually high amout of scoring chances.

[Tony3004]

Brag: going to watch a bit of golf tomorow and tuesday . the pro am in adare . players in attendance .

Allenby, Els , Woods, Furyk, Harrington, Rory Mc Ilroy, Stenson, Poulter, Westwood, with many more pros and a slew of celebs also in attendance. Should be good . presume Tiger will be trying his best to improve his game . Should be good

[Chranchel]

Not a great game. KK following on from the last day and missing an unusually high amout of scoring chances.

Galway desperately trying to isolate the Kilkenny full back line and put Hayes' pace up against it, and a far from assured showing from PJ Ryan is doing the defence no favours.

Still would be surprised to see Galway go and do it. Its been said before but if its still tight with 15/10 to go Kilkenny have the players on the bench that could make the difference.

[rounders123]

They're not you know.

Piratebay is blocked though, but there's no throttling going on.

I just assumed they were as dl's iso have recently been bad but i suppose thats a bad assumption really. Knew about piratebay. DL's are topping out at 100kb/s per sec recently with an average of 20. As opposed to what they were a few weeks ago at between 300-400. Ive just come under NGB, used be a 3mb line thats now speedtesting at 5mb, wonder what the crack is.

This is awesome degenerate gambling!

Hotdog eating contest live in-play

Starting in 2008, the contest time was shortened from 12 minutes to 10 minutes "due to recent evidence suggesting the original contest in 1916 was this length (rather than 12 minutes)"—but the 2008 competition went into overtime anyway. Contestants must be 18 years old and may compete if they fulfill one of four conditions: the defending champion, winners of a regional qualifying contest for that season, qualifying as one of two wildcards or are invited by the International Federation of Competitive Eating. Six-time contest winner Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi will not be competing this year, due to a reported "contract dispute." But that hasn't stopped Joey "Jaws" Chestnut from training for a possible "koby sneak attack." ESPN starts its broadcast at noon!

ESPN has a graphic of hot dog eating "Gamechangers," including Kobayashi, who pioneered the technique of separating the hot dogs and buns, and dunking the buns in lemonade. They also say even if Kobayashi showed up, he would not be able to compete. Competitor Pat Bertoletti said, "Without Kobayashi, it's not Nathan's." But Chestnut doesn't seem intimidated: he says he thinks he can eat 70 hot dogs this year. He set the record last year with 68.

Wow the coverage is funny stuff.

Real Madrid's Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has become a father, according to an announcement on his Twitter and Facebook pages as well as reports in Portuguese media.

In a statement, Ronaldo said that he had "recently become father to a baby boy". The Portuguese daily newspaper Correio da Manhã said that Gestifute, the company run by Ronaldo's agent, had confirmed the news.

Ronaldo has declined to identify the mother, but Correio da Manhã reported that she "is from north America and she had her child in early June", according to Agence France-Presse. In an unusual twist, Ronaldo has also said he is to take sole responsibility for the child.

The message posted on Ronaldo's official social networking sites reads: "It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby's mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship.

"No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are."

Ronaldo, who joined Madrid from Manchester United last summer in an £80m deal, has recently returned home from the World Cup in South Africa, where Portugal were eliminated at the last-16 stage.

anyone hear anything bout this?
