@philip_rocket83 @ccfc_07 Keeper gets a hand on the ball tho so I reckon it would have been overturned

@ccfc_07 Believe me VAR would not have overturned it. I think his shoe laces brushed the keeper, and that would be deemed sufficient

Sack off every championship ref and start over
PUSB 🏴@ccfc_07
How on gods green earth is that a penalty

@Eanna00 What happens when French offers come in and he tells you he's off?
English
Give him the Paul Boyle treatment:
1 year "prove yourself"
Watch him play turn into an absolute star
Question why you doubted him

At present, Shamus Hurley-Langton has not been offered a new contract to stay on with Connacht, next season Hampered by injuries, this season, but a quality player when he strings the games together 🟢

@maxpowerbooks1 @SharksRugby Leinster (whose fanbase has been telling us for 3 years that Sam Prendergast is the guy) is lecturing us on the defensive capabilities of Eben Etzebeth? What is the World coming to?
English
@SharksRugby As a Leinster fan an also Irish so a bit biased for Connaught… I am amazed how poor Esbeth is.. not a good defender.. absence all over the pitch.. wins the odd lineout and if you chop tackle him his size is irrelevant.. I think he gives you less than he takes away
English
@TopTopPundit @ColetteColfer Its also why they've been arrested. Not the fake yarn they've been spinning. Which is the only point being made here
English
@CuColin @ColetteColfer His family get paid for handling the way they do. That’s the whole point of this now - funding the Burke family business. Burke Inc, paid for by the US grift industry and Irish taxpayers.
English
I fully agree that Burke is in prison for violating a court order. However, I think it’s important to acknowledge the root of the case. The court order arose because Burke refused to comply with his suspension. The suspension was the direct result of Burke’s objection, and his manner of objection, to compelled use of they/them pronouns for a singular male student.
Shaykh Dr. Umar Al-Qadri@DrUmarAlQadri
Enoch Burke is in prison for violating a court order to stay away from the school grounds, not for refusing to use “they/them” pronouns. He is not a religious hero. The lack of support from the Churches should make that clear. Don’t let bias prevent you from recognising facts.

@HeadingTooMars @cheggers @elonmusk Read up on the full story of how they ended up where they are and you'll realise there is nothing to stand up for. They've been their own worst enemy from the very beginning
English
@prodnose Here's the problem: regardless of where you decide to draw the line for offside, at some point it's going to come down to millimeters. So you're still going to have the same issue crop up.
English
Look at this bullshit.
This is what football supporters have been cowed into accepting in their game by television.
Fuck off television. And every single vampire creep who is an apologist for this nonsense
English
@Caolan_Scully I won't lie, haven't really seen him anywhere except out half. And he's awesome there with ball in hand. Think it would be a brave call for someone to bring him in to play another spot but stranger things have happened
English
@CuColin I think, like what we’re seeing this season, is that he can shine as a second playmaker.
Munster and Ulster, as well as Connacht, love that and he also helps a 6/2 bench
English
You can see why a few provinces are rumoured to be keeping an eye on Josh Ioane
He's not a typical northern hemisphere, game managing out-half; but put him in a dual playmaking system and he really flourishes
English
@OspreysPodcast Was working at the game, the Ospreys fans were awesome.
English
these are the lads I stand on the terrace with
they’ll be buzzing with that
Caolán Scully@Caolan_Scully
The travelling Ospreys supporters in Galway have not stopped chanting since they got here A great advertisement for away fans
English
@RekordSport There's no "Celtic bias". When it comes to rugby, it's more of a "Celtic rivalry". Our rugby teams don't like each other
English
@JoeNaConnacht @Mulliganj @IrishScoresGAA To be fair, I think a good bot of the trepidation around trying to get points in South Africa is wearing off a bit. It doesn't seem to be the mission impossible it was made out to be when those teams first came into the league
English
@Mulliganj @IrishScoresGAA I think having the two SA games is a killer, they should win this weekend, it’s about a few other results going Connachts way that what Connacht do themselves
English
Had a proper look at the run-ins and this is where I’ve landed…
Stormers to top it.
Leinster 3rd.
3 Irish sides in the 8 — Connacht just missing out.
Margins are tiny though — one or two results flips everything. Sharks & Connacht right in it 👀
Thoughts?

@Forest__O_O @rugbyphilosophy 1. Libel is defamation. You may be thinking of slander. Slander and Libel are different.
2. While it is virtually impossible to prove their intentions to a legal level, anyone thinking straight knows that they were being intentionally misleading
English
@rugbyphilosophy Its wrong and unethical but not defamation
1. Everybody whos seen Spiderman knows that when its in print its libel
2. They arent accusing Rieko of anything and it would never hold up in a court that this was implying it was Rieko
English
This is pure defamation.
Using a photo of Rieko Ioane (who is completely unrelated to this story) is a disgusting way to get clicks. Rugby Lad should be ashamed of this ragebait garbage.
English
@JoeNaConnacht Any word on how long they think Gilbert will be out for?
English

@GiftedMoney Every part of this sounds very Hogan-ish to me anyway
English
No, she absolutely is not. She drew well in her first run because of the novelty of Ronda in WWE. That novelty had worn off by the time WrestleMania 35 hit and her entire second run was hot garbage.
Now if you mean she’s the Female Hogan as far as being a trash bag human, then you’re spot on.
Reigns & Punk forever!@ropunksbelair
Ronda Rousey is quite literally the Hulk Hogan of women’s professional wrestling that y’all think Becky Lynch is.

@SteveTrone1 @IANdrewDiceClay It's not Wrestlemania, it's 'March to Wrestlemania'

@IANdrewDiceClay This is Wrestlemania? Why does it look like they’re in a gymnasium?

@DavePower184272 @madf6767 I've never seen a €50 note score a point
English
@madf6767 It's very easy to throw stones when you're the best funded team in the country. It would be a very different story if JP invested his interests elsewhere.
English
Our Tom is one prize bollox. Tom,if you have nothing good to say,you are best advised to keep your mouth shut.

@TheLooseH The trick is having to make it look accidental. Otherwise risking giving away a penalty
English
Genuine question.
If you know your opposition is going to have to drop to 13 players if a scrum occurs (like Italy during the Welsh yellow card there), are you not better off ‘knocking on’ while in possession?
Force the scrum and force the opposition to 13?
Cheating? 🤷♂️

@VirginMediaIE could you let Alan Quinlan know there is no position on a Rugby Union paddock as midfield he might mean Centre Field #IREvSCO
