Iran’s football supporters faced a tricky balancing act last Tuesday as theyfaced South Korea in the midst of a religious holiday, which bans Shiite Muslims from expressing joy. But Phil O’Meara put the plight of the Iranians into perspective – just think of those poor Mayo fans…

Rown Hill still hasn’t forgotten 2013 and he sent out a word of warning to the All-Blacks as they renew acquintances with Ireland next month.
Still remember the day ,never felt so bad for a team ,they deserved to win that day ,all blacks we are coming for ye !!!!!!!
Connacht winger Niyi Adeolokun earned a call-up to Joe Schmidt’s squad but his phone let him down when the Ireland boss called him. Alan Noonan wasn’t a bit impressed, and clearly has history with the Galaxy Note 7.

Put Damien duff and James mc clean in a blender …………..out comes daryl Horgan !!!!
