Olé olé olé olé - Irish style

Also on an Irish theme, I see that Real Madrid (Ronaldo - £150,000 per week) managed to scrape past Shamrock Rovers (highest paid player - £850 per week) by one goal to nil, which is pretty shameful. Ronaldo received a couple of knocks and got a few sly kicks in himself, which is very unlike his usual style of play.

He'd better toughen up if, as this picture shows, he's considering a change to hurling.

Poor Emma

That petulant idiot savant Ronaldo has gone to Real Madrid for £80m. Meanwhile, my eyes are on Ireland v. New Zealand this afternoon. It should be good. New Zealand play great strategic cricket (Vettori's my favourite bowler) but they may not be cut out for the agricultural style demanded by Twenty20.
