2009-07-28T08:22:00.003+01:00

Manchester United took some time out of their busy schedule in the Far East to take part in the 'Hublot Clock Challenge' with the locals...although judging by their skills maybe they should stay out there!!

Lyrics to Dunmanway Town song

2009-07-22T09:35:00.003+01:00

Liverpool Are On The Way

It's true they say, the 'Pool are on the way,
Shur ye'r are welcome to West Cork as flowers in May,
It's true they say, Liverpool are on the way,
We're all ready for ye here in Dunmanway.

So give up the drink, the drink ye boozers,
Get into training for the Scousers,
No you can't have one more beer (why?)
Cos Liverpool are coming here

Get down lively off your saddle (Why?)
Because you're marking Ryan Babel!
You know just what to do,
You've got to stick to him like glue.

And I know the little shagger,
we'll have marking Daniel Agger,
He's cuter than a fox,
Mind your house and clear the box.

Fernando Torres and Stevie G,
They won't be there for Ballidbudhe,
But that mighty man Dirk Kuyt,
He's up on a sulkey Firday night.

So come on ye boys in green,
Dunmanway Town can live the dream
Wouldn't it be cool,
to beat the mighty Liverpool.

Cristiano before he was C-Ron

2009-07-08T08:10:00.003+01:00

This is Cristiano Ronaldo's registration card from Madeiran side CF Andorinha when he was just 10 years old. Bless, he looks so innocent here....pity that didn't last! Check out the hair!!

Didier Drogbaby slap the ref game!!

2009-05-13T08:24:00.002+01:00

Those funsters at Little Hooliganz have come up with yet another fun filled game from silly football antics!
Remember Didier Drogba's assault on the referee after Chelsea's Champions League semi final defeat to Barcelona? Well now, you can play the game by clicking here

Celebrate the day - World Cup 2006

Mourinho's got skiiiills!! :-)

2009-05-06T07:25:00.000+01:00

Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho finally shows he can walk the walk aswell as talk the talk with his footballing skills! Although his celebration could use a little work!

Bahrain coach's strange goalkeeping training...

2009-04-29T08:24:00.002+01:00

Bahrain's National coach has come up with an odd way of training his goalkeeper. He has brough his Range Rover onto the pitch (which in fairness is about the size of the goal) and has his players shoot at it, while he protects it...clearly there's a severe punishment for damage!

Lampard row on radio

2009-04-27T08:15:00.002+01:00

This is the clip of Frank Lampard ringing into LBC radio over the weekend over allegations papers had made about him being "weak and scum" for converting the family home into a bachelor pad while his kids live in a little flat and also not fighting to keep his family together.

82 year old who can do 3,000 keepie-uppies!!

Barca's new anthem

2009-04-08T08:25:00.002+01:00

Barcelona will launch their new anthem at their Champions LEague quarter final first leg against Bayern Munich tonight. It's called "Barça, estic boig per tu", which means "Barca, I am crazy for you". They're hoping it will be like Liverpool's "You'll Never Walk Alone", but I'm not sure it has the same catch to it, but you decide..

Sheringham still playing ball!

2009-04-08T07:28:00.001+01:00

Open mouth, insert foot...

2009-04-07T08:17:00.003+01:00

The Beeb issued an apology yesterday afternoon after they received 1,477 complaints about this comment, which was made by Clare Balding to Grand National winning jockey Liam Treadwell. My guess would be that it was an in-joke that was never meant to be said aloud...I wonder how funny it is now though!

Man Utd's new wonder kid!

2009-04-07T07:22:00.002+01:00

United's new wonder boy Federico Macheda poses in a niteclub with a group of girls in an effort to impress his mates on his facebook page....somehow I think he won't have a problem finding girls to get into pictures with him from now on, after he scored United's winner on Sunday against Aston Villa.

Naked pole vaulter!

2009-04-01T08:28:00.002+01:00

Romain Mesnil, who won silver at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, has not had his contract with Nike renewed after it expired last year. So to gain publicity he ran through the streets of Paris naked with his pole...hmm!

Player refuses penalty!

2009-03-31T07:27:00.001+01:00

Rapid Bucharest debutant Costin lazar made headlines this weekend for refusing a penalty in his side's 4-0 win over Otelul Galati in Romania...have a look!

2009-03-25T08:27:00.000Z

So you have a player who isn't performing and you want to get the most out of him..what do you do?? Put him in a dress of course! Roberto Fernandes is the coach of Figueirense, who currently play in the second national tier of Brazilian football and this is what he does to players who don't perform.
Surprisingly it seems to work!

Leaked premier League kits for 2009/10

Check out some of these bad boys.....

Why are the crowd so quiet? :-)

2009-03-18T08:14:00.003Z

Like everyone in this "current climate" Nottingham's rugby team have been having trouble getting people out to their games. So to counteract that problem, last weekend they enlisted the help of 1,000 inflatable fans. A local company, Airheads, got on board with the idea, thiking it would help with the atmosphere - somehow I'm not so sure! :-)

The brother's Grim!

2009-03-10T08:24:00.002Z

Darryl and Dan Culberson might possibly be the cheapest men in the world, but may also be geniuses!
The two brothers have been exchanging the same birthday card since 1973.
Daryl's birthday is in January, so every year he receives the card then. But then sends it back to his brother Dan by post for his birthday in March. It started as a joke, but now neither can stop it - as you can see the card has yellowed a little, but is still going strong!

Man Utd "celebrate" winning the Carling Cup

2009-03-04T08:43:00.000Z

Bundesliga just got cool....

2009-03-03T07:22:00.002Z

So the Bundesliga might not be the most exciting league in the world, but it's 2nd tier got some attention this weekend as this couple tried to bring a bit of spark into the 5-1 hammering TSV 1860 Munchen gave FC St Pauli! Good effort!! :-)

Tribute to Toni

2009-02-18T08:23:00.001Z

Big boobs, no box!! :-)

2009-02-18T07:24:00.002Z

Pigeon Smuggler gets caught pants down!!

2009-02-03T08:26:00.001Z

This guy had his feathers ruffled after airport customs officers seized two live pigeons stuffed in his underwear.
He arrived Melbourne Airport on Sunday from Dubai and customs and border control officers found two birds eggs in his pocket.
When they searched him thoroughly, they found he was wearing tights with one bird stuffed down each leg.
He could face up to ten years in jail for the offence!!

Unluckiest man in the world!

2009-01-30T08:17:00.001Z

Portsmouth punishment for bad training!

2009-01-23T08:10:00.003Z

Tony Adams has a bit of a mad way of punishing his players for training poorly! At the end of each session the player who performs worst is given the keys to this lovely automobile and must drive to the next training session in it!! You might think it looks bad, but the speaker on the top also plays farmyard animal noises while the car is moving!! There are also flowers draped all across the dashboard...how nice!

Friday funny...face+post = ouch!! :)

2009-01-23T07:16:00.001Z

A ready made excuse for Chelsea if things go wrong!

2009-01-14T07:25:00.001Z

So after the loss to United Chelsea's players moaned they were up all night thanks to Maradonna...well this is what Southend's dressing room looks like!Yep, one toilet, no heater, cold showers...so should things go "South" tonight, we know what's to blame!

It took this guy exactly 26 years to solve the cube..imagine what he's missed!!

Best skiing story ever!!

2009-01-09T08:25:00.002Z

So the story goes like this...man goes skiing, gets in a chairlift to make his way back, somehow gets ski stuck and ends up suspended upside down! But his pants also somehow get caught and he finds himself pantless suspended upside down coming down a mountain! And the worst part...the child sitting next to him? - COMPLETE STRANGER!!

great nutmeg!!

Christams fun by the Catalonians!

2008-12-10T08:14:00.005Z

Since the 18th century, Catalonians have celebrated Christmas by placing a ‘Caganer’ (’Shitter’) in a nativity scene, with the hope that a defecating figure will bring propserity and a good harvest. In the past this has been a bearded wise man, but these days it's more celebrity driven, like most things! This year's top sellers are Barcelona players Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi, and new American President Barrack Obama. Seiously, every home should have one of these!!

A British couple, oddly named Christine and Nigel Strange, have claimed this week that their couch is haunted.
Christine claimed she first heard strange (heehee) noises when she sat down with a cup of tea, but says her dog also heard the noises!

Bullet proof phone

2008-11-20T07:19:00.002Z

We all know mobile phones are something none of us seem to able to live without...but one man can thank his mobile phone he's alive today! 68 year old Ronald Richard was shot in the chest (by accident from a near by forrest), but the bullet merely bounced off his mobile phone and saved his life....I guess they really are a "necessity"!! :)

Here's one way to score a goal...

After months of waiting by soccer fans Nike have this week released their new boot, the Mercurial Vapour IV...and there's one distinct difference...it's PINK!!

James Bond's Lotus Esprit, as driven by Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me, is expected to fetch up to £120,000 when it goes up for auction in London next month.
The white '76 Esprit, which famously transformed into a submarine vehicle at the touch of a button, will be sold on December 1 at Bonhams auction house, as part of their annual automotive sell-off.
Bonhams also hope that the AU1 numberplate, which adorned Auric Goldfinger's Rolls Royce Phantom, will fetch more than £80,000 when it goes in the same sale.
A buyer last month paid £200,000 for the Aston Martin used in the Quantum of Solace movie....when a brand new one is only £134000.

Crazy rally driver!!

2008-11-14T07:25:00.002Z

Determination... from Axis Of Oversteer on Vimeo.

This rally driver wasn't going to let a small glitch get in the way of him winning the race at the Rallye de Serrians in France. His throttle cable snapped mid-race, but rather than give up he hops into the engine & operates it himself.....wow!

Brilliant ball in shirt trick!

2008-11-13T08:23:00.001Z

This smart kid tried tp pull one over on the opposite team from kick off....pity his skill in front of goal aren't as good though!

Adebayor pre-game ritual

2008-11-12T08:24:00.002Z

Maybe this is the reason Arsene Wenger fields the young guns for Cup games....he simply can't take the noise from Emmanuel Adebayor's pre-game ritual for more games than necassary! Watch the background, he's clearly impressed with his strikers sultry tones! :-)

Stoke fan punches horse!

2008-11-12T08:13:00.004Z

A Stoke fan has been banned from attending football matches for 3 years after punching a Police horse at a recent game.

How hard/comical was the punch though....something like this from Blazing Saddles??

Cheerleader not so cheery today!

2008-11-07T08:21:00.003Z

Here's a lesson not to put pictures from night's out up on your facebook...a New England Patriots cheerleader got the sack this week after this picture emerged on her facebook page. One of her friends had fallen asleep at a party, so as you do they decided to write stuff all over him, as happens at almost every party you go to! But things went a little too far when they put swastikas on his face and wrote some other nasty things. Bad idea then considering the owner of the Patriots is in the Anti-Defamation League and fired her! It seems her job would have been safe though had she stopped at the Swastikas and left everything else there...odd! :)

Beckham's to become superheroes!

2008-11-07T08:15:00.002Z

Good news Beckham fans...it seems the celebrity couple are to become Superheroes!! Stan lee, the comic writer responsible for Spider-man, Fantastic Four and X-Men now wants to make David and Victoria his latest quest. Surely their superpowers would have to include spending oodles of money without a care in the world, looking rediculously fabulous all the time and endorsing any product they possibly can!! :)

Ronaldo not so perfect afterall!!

2008-11-06T08:23:00.002Z

Good news sports fans...it seems Cristiano Ronaldo isn't so perfect afterall...as his amazing ability to sweat through a jacket displays! It seems his teammates were equally delighhted with the news, as after this picture appeared in a paper they filled the team locker room with the picture and also filled his locker with deodorants and aftershave!One would have thought Ronaldo would be pleased to receive some much-needed deodorant, but presumably he was angry because his team-mates made room for the spray in his locker by throwing away his hair products, tiny shorts and chest wax.

Obama for Gunners job

2008-11-05T08:15:00.001Z

Ok so good news for Barrack Obama fans this morning in that he was voted the next President of America, but some people who might not be too happy about the news are the Arsenal fans!
A group has been set up on facebook looking for him to be the next Arsenal manager after their recent run of bad results...a need for change is what the fans stay!
Only 'one' problem lad's....he's a West Ham fan! :)

Speeding Muppet!!

2008-10-31T08:17:00.003Z

Ah, the tricksters are out this Halloween...Police in Germany are chasing a prankster today, after a driver of an English reg car tried to evade them by putting a giant muppet in the left hand side of the car (i.e their "drivers side"). The Police over there can't prosecute the driver on plates alone, they also need a photo so this person cleverly let's the muppet take the blame....Police have said the character appears to be Animal from the Muppet Show, but are also looking at Grover and Ernie as possible "accomplices"!

You ask yourself who are the real muppets here?!! :)

Ode to Spurs...

2008-10-24T09:51:00.003+01:00

This was sent in by Alan Douglas...cheers Alan, it's a gem...

To the tune of American Pie...

A long,Long time ago,
I can still remember,
How the Carling Cup win made them smile,
And they knew this could be their chance,
To finally make that big advance,
And maybe, break the top 4 for a while.

But transfer windows made them shiver,
As Robbie Keane went off to Liver.....
Pool, and Berbs to Man U,
You can't believe it can you?
Tears of laughter we all cried,
As on Brent they have to rely,
And Frasier Campbell really tried,
The Day That Tottenham Died !

So my my kiss UEFA goodbye,
When Comoli sold the Goalie,
Well it made Levy Cry,
When you play for Spurs you kiss Capello goodbye,
Soon your gonna be a Magpie,
I bet you wish you were a Magpie.

Did your players eat the poisoned food,
To let Arsenal in and Spoil your mood,
If the fansite tells you so,
Do you believe in Chas n Dave,
Can their music save you from an early grave,
And can Dawson teach me how to run real slow,

Well, I knew you were set for a let down,
When the Spaniard signed the Blackburn clown,
You sacked poor Martin Jol,
And now everyone just laughs out loud,
I have long been laughing at your lack of luck,
Your delusion means I couldn't give a .....,
That to the table bottom you are stuck,
The day the Tottenham died,
I started singing........

So my my kiss UEFA goodbye,
When Comoli sold the goalie,
Well it made Levy cry,
When you play for Spurs you kiss Capello goodbye,
Soon your gonna be a Magpie,
I bet you wish you were a Magpie.

Fernando Torres / Nick Carter..you decide!

2008-10-23T07:27:00.005+01:00

Fernando Torres may be out with an injury but he's still working! This is his latest commercial for a Spanish Clothing line. But is it just me or does he look remarkably like Nick carter from the Backstreet Boys in this ad?!!

So this "sport" is actually illegal now, but here's a video I found...going by "the rules", these guys shoud be wearing long pants, but to be fair they're brave enough by doing this much!! :)

What went wrong with Spurs....

2008-10-21T08:10:00.002+01:00

So it seems Spurs problems started in July, rather than the last 8 games of the season! Notice anything about this picture? All the players are completely HAIRLESS! Perhaps if they spent less time waxing and more time scoring (on the pitch!) they wouldn't be sitting on the bottom of the table!

Sorry Jim! :(

guy shoots water out his eyes!!

2008-10-17T08:16:00.000+01:00

Wandering across cyber space this morning I found the strangest story....
A Chinese man, Ru Anting, can write calligraphy with water he shoots from his eyes!
He sucks up the water with his nose and then sprays it through his tear ducts. Ru discovred his unusual skill while swimming in the river as a child. As well as being able to write, he discovered he can shoot water accurately up to 10ft from his eyes at will!!

The picture here is an exmaple of his work...what he has written here is
"Fu Ru Dong Hai"("Fortune as vast as the sea")

How the Bee Gee's can save your life!!

A study carried out by American doctors this week has found that the Bee Gees 1977 disco anthem "Stayin' Alive" provides an ideal beat to follow while performing chest compressions as part of CPR on a heart attack victim.

The American Heart Association calls for chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in CPR.... "Stayin' Alive" almost perfectly matches that, with 103 beats per minute.

Many people are afraid to do CPR beacuse they don't know how quickly to do it & there is always the fear that you will do more harm than good....but the study was done for 5 weeks and afterwards it was found to work.

The findings will be presented this month at a meeting of the American College of Emergency Physicians in Chicago.

So next time you're at a match and God forbid someone collapses, ask the guy to put stayin alive on the PA and off you go!

Johnny's woes! :-(

2008-10-10T08:23:00.001+01:00

Rugby fans will be disappointed to hear it looks as if Johnny is gone for the 6 Nations and next year's Lions Tour after it was confirmed he'll be out for 5 months with his dislocated knee. He's had 14 separate injuries since 2003 and you just have to wonder how much more he can put up with before he calls a halt to his career...it's very sad really for such a talented player.
