So Brian Kerr is gone. I can’t say i’m sorry to see him go. He’s a decent man but wasn’t up to scratch as manager. There was no excuse for Ireland’s dreadful performance throughout the qualification campaign. I wonder who’ll take over. I hope it’s not Bobby Robson. Alex Ferguson, David O’Leary, Martin O’Neill and [...]

Cionaodh, who pops in here occasionally, posted this elsewhere. I hope he doesn’t mind me stealing it. Yer man with the handgun is reading Buntús Cainte and doesn’t look to be coping so well with it. Irish isn’t that tough, is it? Original image from An Taibhdhearc.

Not a bad idea, there’s certainly a good wide range of Irish blogs ar líne, although you can already pick out some likely winners like Slugger, Twenty or Richard Delevan mar shampla.

Twodaze post is sponsored by the letter “R” … the number “Eleventy” … and the phrase “Bag of tits”. Oh and Big Bird is a cunt and Bert is as bent as an S-hoop.

My son (5) appears to have inherited my supreme talent for telling jokes. He came home from day-care the other day with a joke which he would only tell in Finnish. The joke auf Englisch: A fish walks into a shop and asks the man “Can I have some Light Milk” (what the Finns call [...]

‘Big Game Part 1′ today, a must win for Ireland. I’m not confident at all but fingers, toes and other bits crossed. (listening to it on RTÉ)

I’ve just started playing with Google Reader, it looks pretty cool so far. It’s basically just an online news & rss reader. I guess it must be just released as I never heard of it before.
