Week 207

Yeah, so I’m late with this week’s Luna Nina, but I’m also on the internet so there is nowt anyone can do mwahahahaha and other such “laughs of evil power”

Anyone else waiting to see if Trevor Brennan’s ERC diary will be online anytime soon?

For those of you saying Trevor Brennan? Who he? Well he’s a rugby player, with Toulouse, and last weekend Toulouse played Ulster in the Heineken Cup, in what may be Brennan’s last Heineken match. He didn’t start, although once he came on he did manage to get into a little argument with an Ulster player, which earned both of them 10 minutes in the sin bin. But the big incident of the match? Why that’d be Brennan climbing into the stands and punching an Ulster supporter. Allegedly.

Ulster Rugby also refuted claims yesterday that Brennan had been provoked into his assault on London-based supporter Patrick Bamford by sectarian chanting, or by references to his mother, as was alleged on RTE’s Liveline radio show and by Toulouse on their club website.

Toulouse police have dismissed the incident as a “private matter between two people” but Bamford, the 25-year-old Ulster supporter who was assaulted by the former Irish international, is expected to pursue a civil action.

Anyways, I’ve been a very bad blogger over the weekend, wasn’t even online once, so I wasn’t. Not like I was doing anything else, but I didn’t get home on Friday till round half three on Sat and then spent the next three hours in one of those oh-so typical “how to save the world” conversations^[1] that one has when one has spent the night making friends with alcoholic beverages.

So despite getting up really really early on Sat^[2] I did absolutely nothing all day long. Well, nothing that didn’t involve sitting/lying/reclining on the couch watching shite on the telly. Did you know that paramount blank out evil words during the day, although they aren’t very constant. Cause ass was ebil and so not heard on Scrubs, but made it through on Two and a half men but they really don’t like any reference to masturbation.

Then I watched the “extended highlights” of the rugby on Sat night^[3] which was lovely as we got to watch a great sprint by Brian O’Driscoll followed by scenes of him puking on the pitch. Not as entertaining as Donncha O’Callaghan on Sunday though. I have never laughed so much in my life. I bet the fellas doing the lifting at the line-out were glad the ref decided to pause the match till he got himself a new pair of shorts.

Donncha O’Callaghan was standing there in the line-out with nothing concealing his privates but the briefest of briefs. The second row looked completely baffled when the referee stopped the game and demanded he put his shorts back on. Had Christophe Berdos failed to notice that he and his Munster teammates had just been working their damned pants off?

I’m pretty sure there’ll be footage up on youtube at some stage, but I haven’t seen it yet. Munster won, btw. So did Leinster. Ulster lost. And Connacht won in their European Challenge Cup. So all in all a fairly good weekend for the Irish teams.

However, being out on Fri meant I missed Dara O’Briain on the Jonathan Ross show, and fucked up when trying to tape the repeat by sticking in the wrong date^[4] So that is another thing I’ll have to keep an eye out for on youtube.

tis easy, put me in charge of everything ↩
half 11 is early when you go to bed at 6.30 ↩
Goddamn you Sky! ↩
very complicated error involving it being after midnight and me not knowing this and so therefore thinking that it was tomorrow I should have been taping when in fact it was today, see ↩

Party time! Excellent

I’d've started this post with a Dude-like exclamation, only I did that last time, and I can’t be repeating myself. Not for a short while anyway.

I guess Ronan O’Gara was proven totally and utterly correct when he said that Irish teams no longer have to fear English ones. After all, all three of our provinces involved in the Heinekin Cup won their matches, and England only 1 out 6. The French got 4 our of 7. While the Welsh got 3 our of 3. Scotland played 2 and won one^[1]
Course on account of the ebilness of capitalism I didn’t get to watch any. I had intended to go down the pub on Sunday to watch Munster. But laziness defeated me. I listened to the Leinster match, and have the highlights recorded. And watched the highlights of the Munster match. Anyone know why RTE don’t just show the entire match?

All hail Ronan, that was a fantastic last penalty. After missing one from closer in earlier, and faced with that rain, and all that pressure. What can you say but “Dude”^[2]
