A whiff of Cordite

Funny that the 3 of them are on together when Eddie never selected either of them in 07

It's worth watching the RTE coverage if only to see how long Jamie can last before he tells EO'S to "Shut the f*#k up you opinionated little pr#*k, you're so out of touch with the realities of the game today". His body language is on the edge of explosion!

TBF it's going to be a close run thing as to whether it'll be Ferris or EOS gets it first.
EOS (I'm not a fan) has a brain, at least.
Jamie was/is a Rolls Royce, the other two lads are Honda's (Pun intended)

Thought he brought Ferris to the RWC but left the Rolls Royce parked in the garage.

Brought Ferris but didn't play him is my memory. I could of course be wrong

Eddie went with a 17 or 18 man squad for that world cup

[cormac]

Brought Ferris but didn't play him is my memory. I could of course be wrong

From memory, one of 6 players who didn't even make a matchday 22 that tournament.

An EOS hallmark.

Jamie should consider crying off that gig before something serious happens. Rarely seen him look so uncomfortable, stuck between EO'S and DO'B, who patronisingly tells him "we'll get to that a little later" everytime Jamie outlines a little technical description of what's really going to happen in particular aspects of Sunday's game.

If DO'B had Rog on the Panel he would be feeding him openings to get such gold-dust from his lips. But DO'B sounds and behaves like one of the anonymous Munster posters on The42 who spent the last 10 years slagging off Robert K and Jamie for being Leinster Blues and never Ireland Greens.

But Jamie won't walk away from it, so I'll have to tune in for the next round and await the knock-out blow - to either EO'S or DO'B. Personally, I'd prefer the latter gets it first.

No Jamie won't walk away. Himself n Fez are going to have some fun before this tournament is over. Eddie is going to have his stamina tested.

Does anyone proofread or spell check any Irish Times articles anymore? Another couple of typos in Gerry's article from Yokohama yesterday. Seems to be the norm now.

The piece about Joe's last home game a few weeks back had his combined Leinster and Ireland home record as won 74, drew 1 and lost 10 from 80 games.

They sacked their subs en masse about 15 years ago. Nobody has subs these days. Sure hasn't your word processor got a spellcheck?

Send in the espoirs so!

Bryan Young was only named sub who didn’t get on in any game. Brian Carney, Stephen Ferris and Alan Quinlan not selected at all.

That's a lot of 6s to leave out

The look of disdain for EOS whenever he opens his mouth is must see TV.

Jamie will put the boot into EOS, probably for the QFs.
He'll come in wearing a pair of white loafers to match his boots when he was playing.
Can't wait to see it.

Hilarious!!!!!

More Thornleyisms again today I see.

Just back from Yokohama and (rugby aside) it was a fantastic trip.

I noticed a characteristically incoherent 'piece' by Cummiskey in the IT which seemed to be suggesting that the locals are polite to visitors' faces but secretly dislike them, or something. I can't read minds as well as Gav obviously, but they seemed incredibly welcoming and helpful to me.

Seriously, how does he hold down his job?

I'd say it's not just the Japanese who are polite to Cummiskey's face but secretly dislike him.
