The Irish women got shown up tonight anyway. So much fucking media shite talk about that team, delusional as always.

They're basically shit without Denise O'Sullivan in the middle. She runs everything for that team, focal point.Ireland women massively overachieved for a long time and Wales last night was their worst result for years.
There is still no striker who can score regularly against good teams.
The defense was terrible without old head Niamh Fahey. Heather Payne had a very tough time at right back against Fishlock, especially in the first half.
Several players were not in their best positions and the younger players didn't make much impact.
Poor all round. Last night was a reality check.
Knew there was someone I forgot to mention!They're basically shit without Denise O'Sullivan in the middle. She runs everything for that team, focal point.
She's the women's version of Wes Hoolahan, except she usually gets to start games.
That's a bit harsh - John O'Shea only got the job today!Let's all write articles about how the manager should be fired because soccer
I think Denise is actually a better player than McCabe - McCabe is one of the best wingbacks in the world, but there's a reason she doesn't play in midfield.Knew there was someone I forgot to mention!
Other than McCabe, Denise is the best player we have.
Strade Bianche 2024 - one of the best bike races - is on tomorrow, Saturday 2nd March.
The white gravel roads were heavily used in Italian bike races until the war but rapidly fell out of fashion afterwards. So it was a brave decision to bring back this extinct surface in 2007 under the name Monte Paschi Eroica (refering to a return to heroic era of cycling). Prior to that the race had been a popular Granfondo event for a decade attracting thousands of amateur cyclists.
So it's lots of white gravel hills in Tuscany and a beautiful / brutal climb to the old town square in the Siena (a UNESCO World Heritage site).
The 2024 race is the only the 18th edition and that's only reason the race doesn't have the status of Lombardia and the other one day monuments.
Such is Strade's success that gravel roads are no longer an unusual sight in other races.

Irish basketball teams ordered to replay last 0.3 seconds of quarter-final tie
Two Irish basketball teams have been ordered to replay the final 0.3 seconds of a match which finished in controversy.www.bbc.com
I love this shit, it even made the BBC Sport section and all!Portlaoise Panthers refuse to play 0.3 seconds
Portlaoise Panthers have said they will accept elimination from their Division 1 quarter-final after refusing to play 0.3 seconds of the game as ordered by Basketball Ireland.www.rte.ie
If the player receiving the ball instantly shoots, they'd have time for the shot – but they're never scoring, unless they actually manage to get one of those rare moments of transcendence in sport.Asked a basketball fan about the rules and how it'd be possible for the team objecting to the game ending and wanting their fraction of a second to make this work.
The clock restarts when the ball is passed back inbounds and it touches a player. There's not really time for anyone to catch the ball and shoot.
So someone will have to fling the ball the length of the court , close to the backset and one of their teammates will have to make the basket by tipping it in without catching.
I’d react like that to a lot of stuff in work if I thought I’d get away with it.I like that in sports the natural reaction to something like that is run in any direction with your fist in the air screaming.
