Nobody really. Irish, boring about rugby & golf. London via Dublin & Belfast.

Evening lads. Do you have any idea wtf is happening at the end of matches?
I swear I heard Luke Pearce say the match would restart because we scored before 80mins was up, but that wasn't the case in other matches.
Are they just making shit up or do I need to cut back on the wine?

You haven't posted here for ages, yet you continue to use X, which, aside from its recent decent into AI-generated child pornography, contains staggering amounts of antisemitism and is owned by someone who regularly voices his ridiculous opinions on this country.

Why ?

Evening lads. Just checking that the Matt Carley fan club saw him actually lift a Toulouse defender's leg out of the way to allow the scrum half access to the ball.
The mind boggles as to what else refs could help with if this idea is developed further 😂

Just listening to Monday's podcast a little late.
For what it's worth, Murray, I like your approach.
The idea that the SA defeat was the referee's fault and should have been different is absolutely delusional and the product of stupid people.

Leeds, even 🙄
Is that to spare you the Leedd score?

@the42.ie @murraykinsella.bsky.social
Gents, could you please spare 2 mins to explain what happens in relation to the postponed matches. Does URC decide if someone is at fault? If no fault, does each side suck up their own costs incurred? If there were blame, do they have to pay the other team? Ta

@the42.ie afternoon all - if my Android app says "no articles available" under every sport, can you please advise.
I'm a subscriber and it was fine a couple of days ago...
Thank you

Dear Gnomes
Regarding Andy's pronunciation of DOGE in the most recent podcast, would it not instead be more spectacularly, childishly funny to say DOGGY ?
It would make every position they take much more visual.
Yours , etc

@dementedmole I've just watched that back and I reckon that one of the biggest cheers of the first half was for Sam Prendergast's one completed tackle 🤭

So you finally put the house on the market 😉

@dementedmole.bsky.social Sorry for your loss lads, but a couple of whimsical points if I may...
I love how the crowd noise at schools matches is practically an octave higher than "normal".
And did you notice that it looked like a match watched by thousands of prisoners on day release...?

Just a thought or two about tgl...
Would I watch Pogacar & Vingegaard pretend to climb L'Alpe d'Huez on peloton bikes in front of a big screen?
Would I watch Federer v Nadal in a Nintendo wii Wimbledon final?
Um, no.

Is this a Welsh language spelling, or should that read "sponsOrs"...?

I have just finished your book and I wanted to say thank you for making me laugh and cry - sometimes at the same time - and for substantially adding to my understanding.
