Waterford’s Ken McGrath and Kilkenny’s Cha Fitzpatrick look forward to hitting each other with hurls this Sunday at Croke Park in the All-Ireland Hurling Final

Kerry’s Aidan O’Mahony has been ridiculed for his Cristiano Ronaldo-esque theatrics in the All-Ireland semi-final against Cork and so he should be.

Not because his open-handed slap landed, but because he’s Irish, the judges at the Workers’ Gymnasium in Beijing may not have given a red card to Cork’s Donnacha O’Connor after he hit Aidan O’Mahony. It was a little ‘shut your mouth you cheeky git’ slap to the face of a cheeky git and it, by the letter of the law, deserved the red card. It’s a strike. However, O’Mahony’s reaction would’ve earned him Gold in the swimming pool for his delayed dive. He’s been justifiably lambasted for his very unlike-Kerry behaviour, but there were a couple of incidents that would look more at home at Old Trafford than Croke Park during Sunday afternoon’s repeat of the Munster final. Ignoring Colm Cooper’s impeccable display during the match, when he received a shoulder in the second half during a stoppage, he went tumbling down with his arms outstretched, clearly making the most of it. There was a deliberate attempt to coerce the ref to brandish his cards on more than one occasion from both sides. Falling down clasping one’s face is, as Joe Brolly also asserts, becoming a recurring feature in the GAA and it needs to be stamped out. For an organisation that prides itself on “manly” behaviour, it is slowly accepting the cheating qualities of soccer. It has been creeping into Gaelic football and I for one don’t like it. “He’s a bit of pup,” Brolly correctly describes Tom Daley, I mean, O’Mahony but this isn’t an isolated occurrence. Kingdom fans will close ranks again, no doubt, excusing this kind of behaviour as they did when Paul Galvin assaulted Paddy Russell’s notebook. You would hope they’d be embarrassed that a county with its tradition should produce a player that would act in this manner. Can the GAA stamp this out? Is this a completely isolated incident? Am I over reacting? Let us know what you think!

In case you missed it, here’s possibly the funniest thing you’ll ever see at Croke Park…..unless Jimmy Carr does a gig there or someone gets sent off but stays on the field….again.

The thorny issue that is picking the Rose of Tralee winner is upon us again. Having missed out on being an escort on the grounds that I had “ulterior motives” for a fifth time, we decided to find another way to harass the ‘lovely girls’ who look set to blossom in Kerry – there’s some extensive weeding to be done in this garden first though. From my gardening experience, the judges have a tough job. Despite the landslide in the Kingdom, the girls’ spirits are high and some of them have kindly displayed their more wholesome qualities like snorting coke with their escorts like showing us their Irish dancing skills, explaining how their ‘dream’ was to be a rose before they were too old and how their great grandfather twice removed hails from Kilkynee.

P.S. About 2.46 – check out the cheeky bald man admiring the New Zealand Rose’s many ass-ets. Or, maybe he’s looking at her feet.

Magistrate: ‘But if you saw the lady driving towards you, why didn’t you give her half the road?’
Motorist: ‘I was going to, Your Honour, as soon as I could find out which half she wanted.’

Wife: “There’s trouble with the car. It has water in the carburettor.”
Husband: “Water in the carburettor? That’s ridiculous.”
Wife: “I tell you the car has water in the carburettor.”
Husband: “You don’t even know what a carburettor is. Where’s the car?”
Wife: “In the swimming pool.”

Firstly, before anybody starts whinging, I know road safety is a very important subject. This is Danica Patrick (image above) – recently, this lady destroyed the stereotype that all women are crap drivers when winning the Indy Japan 300. Pandering to women’s sensibilities and possibly being a sexist pig in the process, I knew it was too good to be true. At the weekend, when pulling into the pit lane during the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, she had a little accident. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt (see below). I’m calling for a law on women drivers not to drive below 30mph…on the Motorway, insist they keep their eyes open and don’t put on make-up while driving.

My granddad used to say, ‘Life was so much better before they put a window in the Kitchen.’ Have your say on Women drivers. Ladies, defend yourself!!

I may be a huge Grandstand nerd, but I think this is brilliant.

Certain bookmakers were waiting until yesterday to pay out on Trapattoni as Ireland manager, something we did roughly three months ago. If you’re still having trouble getting paid out, cut out this picture and hand it to your less generous bookie.

The Italian made his long awaited appearance in front of the Irish media yesterday. He instantly won the affections of the Irish public with his calm, considered demeanour that he has always displayed in front of the microphones and cameras of the world’s media.

Er … maybe not.
