The Irish obviously didn't learn from last year and were cheap shotting again. Hopefully Fev comes in for the next game and the aussies can dish out some hurt. |

Thought Slimmo had a good game. Was involved in the action, showed good skills, good decision making, and always kept his head and didn't panic. Good to see him getting stuck in to the Irish, and standing up for his team mates; but knowing when to leave it, and get on with the game. What especially impressed me was at half-time when the Aussies were walking off the pitch. Slimmo was talking to everyone, giving them a pat on the back. Great leadership. Future Carlton captain. |

Simmo is coming along in massive leaps and bounds. The bit of agro in him is a great sign. Liked his handling of the round ball and its a shame the coleman medalist wasnt there to win it. I agree that its what you would expect from the bummer coach. |

I just like the fact that if I've remembered things rightly, Sheedy's now lost more games in 2006 than Pagan

Up until half time, it was pretty boring. After half time, it was a fantastic contest. Mind you, that could have had something to do with the amount I'd had to drink. 
Seriously though, much less intensity than previous games; and the crowd was pretty sedate. |

The Aussies were hardly making any physical contact at all, they have obviously been told after last year. |

Unless there is more physicality the crowds arent going to support it full on. When you good to some of the other codes the extra bit of edge makes for more enjoyment. Unless of course the team had too much Guiness. The Coleman medalist would have been handy. |

It is, and always has been, a sleep fest. I'd rather have state of origin back then this silly bit of hit 'n' giggle. |

I agree Mister Supremo, the State of Origin would shit all over this crap. |

I like watching the Irish ball handling...it's different to ours and more unpredictable. |

1st things 1st, apologies to my Aussie buddies for such a lump d**ked match, obviously everyone too afraid to make a mans match of it. Our f****N president, a very arrogant man, threatening to pull the whole thing if something like last year happened, yet a full house last night an another one next week of prob 82'500 would indicate we want to see a mans game being played, the whole match last night was like the 1st round of a heavyweight boxing match, posing and posturing but no action. We were terrible, our boys cannot get it into their heads, hit the man on the chest, we a bouncing it up for them to make it easier to turn, not realising if we do we will get crunched. POINT 2. The game!! Man, I listen to what everyone has to say, but you must have very selective vision, cheap shots your arse, I saw on Aussie get a knee in the head as he pinned Geraghty to the floor and punched him, I saw Hall clean our Captain from behind after McGeeney played the Ball, I saw Davis clean a player from behind on more than one occasion, saw a lot of fair hits going in by our lads but not too much dirt to be honest. |

Tune in and find out will the Aussies Saturday October 28th 2006 ADVERTISEMENT Last week in Home And Away that mad, blood-crazed bitch Zoe set a wedding on fire. She killed a bonzer cop, put the ubiquitous gorgeous blond into premature labour and triggered a series of events that included a hospital helicopter crash in the bush, a clifftop drama with Macca contemplating stamping on Ricky's fingers and worst of all, big-hearted Alf is about to have a coronary at the rescue centre. It's no worse than any chip shop anywhere in Ireland late on a Saturday night but how dare the Aussies preach to us over a young lad getting spiked through a protective helmet with that sort of carry-on going down in Summer Bay. Tonight the network screens the opening episode of the Coca-Cola Ireland versus Australia mini series. The setting is Galway Bay and this show has all the soap clichés, including the usual divorce saga. Dubs Jimmy and Brian Stynes have moved over to the Australian camp. The two former greats do so much sticking up for the Aussies you'd swear they were found lost in the bush and were suckled by Romanesque dingos. The boys are supposedly giving the Aussies an insight into the Irish psyche and are offering tutorials on the round ball. I never heard such abominable s**te in all my life as the Australian whinging about the shape of the ball. You'd swear the round ball was as rare as a Dodo omelette in Oz. How do they explain Tim Cahill and the Socceroos nearly winning the World Cup? We are told the Dubs are teaching the Aussies how to kick straight with special emphasis on 'round the corner' kicking. Figure that one out. No worries mates about Dubs teaching shooting practice. I hope the two boys curb the violent tendencies shown by elements of last year's squad who shall henceforth be known as the Dingoroos. I doubt if we will witness any bloodshed on tonight's show. The fans have been conned. It will be more like the Gaiety Panto than the Coliseum. Next week in Croker will be the violent episode. But this series has had a troubled past. Will the Aussies apologise for their treatment of The Wild Colonial Boy, Ned Kelly and Peter Canavan? Tune in and find out. Last year, I prayed that the Gooch wouldn't be the next victim of the dreaded Dingoroos. The ginger genius does not lack bottle and is a fierce competitor, but I wished he had stayed at home in Killarney. Thankfully he won't be playing with these rough boys this time around especially seeing as some of the Australian refereeing has been nearly as bad as that here at home. At least Pat Mac is our ref. He's the top man but you have to take notice when the Galway County Board say the refs need eyes in the backs of their heads. Well I have a solution - it's a hospital drama. A face transplant on to the back of the referee's sconce. Now don't tell me some of 'em are already two-faced and look at all the money it would save in umpire's sirloins. And anyway we all know if you put a face on an umpire's arse he wouldn't even see the bottom of the toilet bowl. I wonder will the Aussies pick on debutant Kieran Donaghy. The new boy in the Soaps always gets a hard time. It is my sincere wish the Kerry full-forward plays rubbish and leaves for Ros na Rún. If he shows his true value he could finish up being transported to Sydney like Tadhg Kennelly, the greatest loss to Ireland since Michael Collins. If Donaghy had even a month's incubation with the egg-shaped ball his lovely mother Deidre's charm bracelet would be festooned with Brownlow Medals. McGeeney is a good pick as captain. He fears no man, yet he usually keeps a cool head and Ireland have an excellent management team. We will need a dredger though to desilt the Mouth of Sydney Harbour, Kevin 'The Sludger' Sheedy. The Australian manager has sold more seats in Croke Park than U2 and he knows this game only too well. But we might just catch his team on the hop now that they have been muzzled by the carding system and the furore over last year's assault on Philip Jordan. But for me the big questions are how do the Aussies wipe their noses seeing as they have no sleeves? Will one of 'em introduce his Irish cousin Sheila to his team mates now that the name has been branded as sexist in Oz? Are the network about to cancel the series for being too violent even though ratings are at an all-time high? Is Ricky in Home and Away secretly gay and if so why does he keep it a secret? Can Donaghy tear the Dingoroos to pieces in the first quarter? And if Alf does get a heart attack, will he be allowed watch tonight's game? Find out tonight at primetime. billyjoekeane@eircom.net Billy Keane |

Beano the amount of times the Irish were hitting the Aussies after they disposed of the ball was ridiculous considering we were holding back. Last year I attended the game in Melbourne and it was the Irish doing the exact same thing that resulted in us giving you a beat down only for you guys to go home and cry. You were disappointed with the game yesterday like many but that's what you get when you ask us to tie one arm behind our backs. |
