Certainly not a winner unless you count 2 wins out of 34 as some sort of success Wed, 7 Sep 2016 14:40:11 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2016/0907/814832-gatland-lions/#IDComment1029666872 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2016/0728/805450-griffiths-plays-down-astanas-twitter/#IDComment1026902658 So what i see is a defender shirt pulling and obstructing griffiths and getting the shove he deserves. Fifa need to get tough on all this off the ball nonsense. Good example being juve celtic a few years back. I would have sent off the italian back 4 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:08:43 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2016/0728/805450-griffiths-plays-down-astanas-twitter/#IDComment1026902658 http://www.rte.ie/sport/euro-2016/2016/0628/798626-northern-ireland/#IDComment1024871252 Well it would help alot and that comes directly from ex players Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:26:11 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/euro-2016/2016/0628/798626-northern-ireland/#IDComment1024871252 http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/six-nations/2016/0226/771060-live-wales-v-france-rte-tracker-six-nations/#IDComment1014156726 France always seem to save their worst for wales.

Gareth Steenson is one of the top number tens in England and the IRFU dont seem to know that he even exists.

Whats his record against the tri nations 2 wins and something like 26 defeats. Even Scotland has a better recent record against the big boys.

Sure schmidt claims we would be underdogs even against argentina in the quarters contrary to rankings, history and logic. They all try and play these mind games. They should concentrate on the rugby and leave this sort of pantomine to gatland Mon, 5 Oct 2015 07:01:06 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/rugby-world-cup/2015/1005/732446-obrien-dismisses-french-kidology/#IDComment997947267 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2015/0929/731148-mcgrath-grealish-could-have-been-irelands-star/#IDComment997177883 Couldn't agree more a bit of a dumb decision with the likes of sterling, Chamberlain, Walcott, Barclay, Wilshire etc etc all being better.

The granny rule can still be milked but if you dont act early then the chance goes. This time 12 mths ago kane was a nobody.

Irish batsmen struggling too. At 30 overs on a similar score to UAE who then smashed everything. Will need Kevin O Brien to bash the ball around to have any hope of winning Wed, 25 Feb 2015 10:02:28 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/cricket/2015/0225/682603-live-ireland-v-uae/#IDComment952966145 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/irish/2015/0203/677626-oneill-planning-flexible-approach-to-poland-clash/#IDComment948019101 Completely agree. Plenty of Irish qualified players are not being looked at until its way too late.

Should have had him playing in the youth team for years instead of approacing him as he bursts into the Spurs team Wed, 4 Feb 2015 11:08:55 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/irish/2015/0203/677626-oneill-planning-flexible-approach-to-poland-clash/#IDComment947764603 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/english/2014/1217/667347-rodgers-relaxed-over-sterlings-future/#IDComment929800247 I would be relaxed too. If he leaves he leaves, after his performance against Man U good riddance. He also seem to be drained at the world cup after 60 mins! Sell him and then Rodgers and Co can waste the millions on even more dross Wed, 17 Dec 2014 07:55:38 +0000 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/english/2014/1217/667347-rodgers-relaxed-over-sterlings-future/#IDComment929800247 http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/international/2014/1203/664373-petit-in-rant-over-henry-france-and-germany/#IDComment923820743 He handled the ball and got away with it - that was the ref and linesman problem, it became Henry's problem when he decided to celebrate the goal as if it was the best ever, lost count how many laps of the stadium he made. Fair play to the French for casting aside a cheat. That 2010 squad were full of themselves and I was glad it all fell apart so spectacularly at the finals.
