Sporting views and opinions across Munster and Leinster

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

Bullshit. AOB comments only serve to dilute competition. For instance if Goliath beat Benvenuto Cheillini, and the cleared away from the 3rd. W/O Goliath he’s an emphatic winner, and retired at 3. With Goliath pipping him, he’s an also ran. You’re either 1st or nowhere with colts

🗣️ "It's so much easier to train a gelding, they will have an unfair advantage in the race"

Aidan O'Brien has voiced his concerns about the decision to allow geldings to run in the l'Arc de Triomphe from next year 🇫🇷

@LauraKingsays They’re not gelded because they’re difficult. How would the world handle 100s of millions of stallions on the breeding population.

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

Calandagan would wet his leg in the Arc on rain softened ground.

[Adam @GeeGeeBanker]

I’d love to see Calandagan get a crack at the Arc, but I’m not sure having it open to all geldings is the way to go.

Perhaps a “Win and Your In” set of races or a Gelding Wildcard for 120+ types would be a better way 🇫🇷

@madf6767 Jesus I didn’t even cop they left out Horgan. Darragh Fitz be well worth his salt there too especially since Covid. Madness

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@BarstewardsThe Carson? Please…..

[Michael McCarthy @mccarthymike8]

Why is @MartyMofficial on @RTEsport radio 1 talking about a condensed season at intercounty level. It's an 8 month season that runs from December 1st to July 31st. You want to talk about condensed, ask a club player about playing two codes to completion in 12/13 weeks. #GAA

@itvracing @MCYeeehaaa Surely Grand Prix De Paris next?

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@aobrienfansite Hope all is ok, sending best wishes

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

Brilliant interview, seems a very irreproachable man with all that went on over the last 12 months.

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

Signs of a man 55million in debt 😆

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

Live television says this man said multiple times this week there is no track bias 🤣🤣🤣 ITV do your thing. Ruby put you in your box twice over it

[Kevin Blake @kevinblake2011]

@EireSportsViews How about we have a wager. If you can post a clip where I said "there can't be any bias", I'll give you a grand. If you can't find it, you'll agree to not misquote me on the internet in future. Deal?! 😂

Albert ‘who we have never seen do things like this before’ Einstein finishing 14th. Some fall off. If he was any use they wouldn’t have run Charles Darwin.
Both be in Hong Kong by end of year @aobrienfansite ?

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

But @kevinblake2011 said there can’t be any bias?

[ITV Racing @itvracing]

🗣"It's becoming more and more evident as the week goes on that there is a huge bias towards the stand side"

Stand side the key to winning once again! 🔑🏆

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@John1986ire I think so too, just prodding fun

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

John Gosden basically cementing all the is wrong in the world of horse racing, by saying Ombudsman is too good to go 12F

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@itvracing Ivan Denisovich wiped Librettist in 2006 QE2 and Haradasun in Queen Anne in 2008 aswell. Happens all the time

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@aobrienfansite Ballydoyle did it with Ivan Denisovich in Georges QEII in 2006. It goes on the whole time on both sides.

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@ZzVvbbbbn You’re ethnically cleansing Palestine you muppet

[Small Ball.ie @EireSportsViews]

@Alan__Shatter It’s actually baffling how you were an elected minister. To take such a weird take on an actual genocide of Palestinian people.
