heard that alright, should be very good alright.
We'll be famous:D
shane barrett will be famous, they are following him for the day
Poor Shane hung out to dry by his own teammates. Afterall they nominated him to do the interview.
looking forward to it:D
There was a preview on the news of it and it looks very good. They showed Hendo in the dressing room talking to the players and saying to Reilly that he's "back where he belongs".
I'm really looking forward to this.
So Kieran O'Reilly was onside:eek: I knew it. The robbin b0llocks of a referee.
It was a good insight to Ramblers. I thought it would have been longer but it was good all the same.
Shane did good for himself he made a good case for himself being a "legend" in Cobh.
I never realised that it was Tony O'Donoghue who was on the bus with the lads. I'd say he wasn't used to the comfort of a bus:D but in fairness he's a good interviewer and even got Hendo to make a joke.
Poor Bilko. Fancy RTE going to all that effort to embarrass him. You have to laugh though.:D
Does Henderson think he is Barry Fry? :D
Why he looks nothing like him?Quote:

Yeah but timewise Cobh to Ballybofey is longer because you have to go through towns and backroads where as going to Derry you can use the Motorways.Quote:

Thats all well and good but theres a big long motorway stretching from Cork to Dublin and onwards from there.Quote:

Less distance going up the West but longer driving time. Certainly this is the case from Waterford and I can't see it being much different from Cobh.

If going by Dublin is quicker then why didn't your team go that way?
Go to Google Earth.
Cobh to Derry via the motorways is 500km which is a journey of 6 hours 15 mins.
Cobh to Ballybofey going up the West of Ireland is a distance of 431km which takes 6 hours 9 mins.
Thats just a difference of 6 mins for a journey with a 69km difference.
:p;):D
I never said it's quicker to Ballybofey via Dublin. I said it's quicker to Derry via Dublin.Quote:
