Alan Parry just had to go and bring the colour of the cat  into it didn’t he.

Luis Suarez kicks Scott Parker, Luis Suarez gouges Scott Parker’s eye

The eye gouge is debatable, you can make you’re own mind up on this one.

De Gea’s Silent Message To The Haters

That’s some digit.

James McClean doesn’t take kindly to being called ‘Northern Irish’

The new Sunderland sensation took exception to Colin Murray calling him ‘Northern Irish’ on Match of the Day 2 last night.

Are These The Best Nine Minutes In The History Of RTÉ Sport?

We say maybe.

YouTube Preview Image

They’re the last 10 minutes of RTE’s coverage of Ireland-Italy in the World Cup.

Here’s why:

  1. Mick McCarthy’s crotch, say hello to a national TV audience. Also, note his shin pads.
  2. The strange studio where the interview was conducted. Will Trap and Robbie treat us to anything this intimate this summer when we go out?
  3. The utter disgust from Jack and Mick, but also their naive ‘we could have won the whole tournament’ vibe.
  4. A first-rate ‘sayonnara Ireland’ montage cut to an English-version of Piaf ‘No n’regrette rien’ featuring many shots of the godly face of Jack and a bit randomly, Ray Houghton’s goal against England in Euro 88.
  5. Giddy Martin O’Neill
  6. No Dunphy.
  7. Billo namechecking the pilot of the Aer Lingus flight taking the lads home.

Absolute cracker.

On another note, Fernando Torres has now played over 1,000 minutes without scoring. The last Chelsea player to go a 1,000 minutes without scoring was Petr Cech.
