A whiff of Cordite

Just a word on Joanne Cantwell tonight: I thought she did a great job of asking questions of Nucifora and keeping going. She was respectful and didn't turn it into an ego interviewer battle. She asked questions like we deserved good answers and didn't let him off the hook without being rude.

Much better than I expect. She should probably move from sport.

Or be given a much bigger role in sport.

Said it in another thread but I'd love to see her take over from Daire O'Brien. It vexes me that he's on TV and I can't fathom what RTE see in him.

I thought ROG looked like he wanted to punch Mr. "Go Easy" a few times over the weekend.

He was seen as a rugby presenter and they wanted one, he was good/liked on setanta but the Brendan O'Connor esque sneery, arrogant stuff isnt good. His job is to tee up the pundits or at worst ask them questions the rubes at home thinking not try and have his own opinion validated/make himself seem smart

A full article on POM shouting at SOB.......I suppose this will be the end of the ruck mark articles.

Yeah that Seán O'Brien is such a Leinster wuss that he needs angry face Munster leadershipping to get him off the ground after a hit.

You know the way Healy did with Sexton or a dozen other players did with a dozen other players at the match.

What a load of pathetic b*%&!cks scraped off the bottom of a shitty barrel that is.

Had to buy a puke bowl last week, looks like it's going to be money well spent.

Murray hasn't had a great couple of weeks.

Trite rubbish from a usually good writer.

Could have picked any game Heaslip plays, usually one of the most vocal players on the pitch. I remember during the Italy game Scannell knocked on from an overthrow on an Italian lineout. You could hear Heaslip shouting come on Scans next job next job while the scrum was being set up. I'll se if I can knock together some gifs and pictures with shapes/arrows. Heaslip can't vogue like POM can mind.

Saw this as well, the amount of sycophantic nonsense around POM over the last week has been hilarious!

Trite rubbish from a usually good writer.

Summarising the article -
"So I'm clearly best mates with Peter O'Mahony since we were teenagers, and coincidentally he should be the next Ireland captain"

[the spoofer]

So, Paul Kimmage. Apology time.

+1
Also was surprised with drop in objective standards to a piece of hagiography which is beneath him at this point

Anybody objectively watching last week recognises that Pete O'Mahony had a superb game. However to re-write history and skills that he now has no weaknesses is balderdash.

[Oldschool]

For me the stand out Munster player last week was D. Ryan.
Stander didn't cut muster which didn't suit the media.
Ryan is not a media darling so what were they left with.
MOM from Cork decided by ex OH from Cork.
I think Peter O'Mahoney is a fine player but like many other players from Cork and Munster in general the reality never matches the hype.
POM won't or shouldn't get the Ireland captain's job for one reason in particular - his lack of availability.
Joe is actually going to have consider rotating the captains job.

Including the headline and the hashtag, "leader"/"leadership" is used 10 times!!

Heaslip will likely be waterboy for the Wasps game now. There's an article there for Kinsella.

So, Paul Kimmage. Apology time.

HA. You wish.

He is so far up his own ar5e he is essentially coming back out his own mouth.

He had the cheek to 1) try and say he was right all along because it was initially report Jamie "rolled his ankle". For all we know he made that sh1te up himself.

2) He has retweeted a tweet from Michael Lynagh. Lynagh said "this is worrying" under an article PK posted about some sensationalist bullsh1t.

PKs RT actually said "I'm constantly getting told that I know nothing about rugby, so I'll just park this here:"

How smug and self satisfied can you get? If he was made of chocolate he'd probably eat himself

EDIT: Looking at his Twitter account is doing nothing good for my blood pressure. He's busy winding up people who are trying to call him out while adamant he is right. My god this man has just solidified his status as a Grad A Troll. Even Hook wouldn't try and actively antagonise people who disagreed with his POV

Kimmage will probably think an injury has been invented to cover up a drug scandal.

[arsebiscuits1]

Kimmage will probably think an injury has been invented to cover up a drug scandal.

Do you think he will get a legitimate heart attack if Lance Armstrong covers up a concussion sustained in a rugby match?

I think he's pretty clealry using this to promote his agenda. If you scroll thru his twitter timeline it's there a few tweets back.

[simonokeeffe]

what odds Kimmage cycles on the footpath?
