Liam Clancy died today
Ok if you are reading this most of you won’t know who Liam Clancy was.
He was a giant in Irish music.
Himself and his brothers and Tommy Makem were Irish folk singers who in their own way changed the face of music as we know it today.
With his death today something big died – ahh its hard to explain
Bob Dillon called him the best balled signer he ever heard.
Anyway here is 2 clips of him
First 1 is for all the Aussies on here - have u every he
Congratulations to Poonsawat Kratingdaengym on wining the WBA World Super-Bantamweight fight tonight here in Dublin.
Bernard Dunne's reign as WBA World Super-Bantamweight champion was ended in dramatic circumstances as the Neilstown man was floored three times in the third round as Thailand's Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym claimed a sensational victory at Dublin's O2, writes RTÉ Sport's Shane Murray.
Dunne boxed to perfection in the opening two rounds, however, his good start was undone by three le
From the Irish Times
World Champion Bernard Dunne will make his first defence at the O2, Dublin, on Saturday, September 26th when he faces the number one-rated contender and the fighter the WBA told promoter Brian Peters his man must face in a mandatory challenge Thai boxer Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym.

A hard tough game ? not a great one but it is always sweet to beat England especially in Croke Park.
Should have won by more but O?Gara wasn?t on form today.
Brain O?Driscoll - what a captain - what a game he had. England hit him hard and often and he still scored a drop goal and a try ? yet again he showed that he is a world class player.
Still on course for the Grand Slam ? its 61 years since the last 1 about time we did it again.

On the Irish news it?s just been reported that Bangkok airport will not reopen until Monday December 15.
Can?t see anything about that date anywhere else on the web.
Any news about this in Bangkok?
Damm I?m booked on a flight to arrive on the 14th.
Just want to say a big thank you to everyone I met at a couple of TF events which I had the pleasure of going to on my recent trip. It was the first time I had the chance to go to a TF event.
First 1 was Tookkae/ Idar party. Have to admit to being a bit nervous when I walked into Larrys at first and looked around ? so many faces I recognised but could not remember names. But that only lasted a couple of minutes until I got talking to Stu and Whiskers who welcomed me like a long lost friend. As
Normally talk about climate change sort of goes over my head - yes I know its out there and is a problem but have more important things to talk about like who’s turn it is to buy the beer or who won the match.
But for some reason this add has struck home with me - makes me think about it more

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:
"Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom, but I don't know what got into me,
so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"
And the other person says: "So what are you up to?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
"Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I c
Today is the 2nd anniversary of the death of George Best probably the greatest player ever for United and one of the best footballers the world has ever seen. Pele once called him the greatest footballer in the world. He was the first football superstar and was as famous for his love of the drink and women just as much as for his football.
As a kid I saw him play once in Belfast don’t remember much about the game but can clearly remember him coming to my school and getti

Halloween originally comes from an ancient pre Christian Irish festival which marked the beginning of winter. On that night it was believed that the dead came back and walked the land again along with monsters and evil spirits. Sacred bonfires were lit to ward them off and gifts of food and drink were left out to keep the spirits happy for the rest of the year and people dressed up in costumes to resemble the evil spirits…. As a child I enjoyed Halloween, enjoyed dressing up as a ghost or a mons
