England win at Murrayfield for first time in eight years

FT: Scotland 6 England 13

England have beaten Scotland 13-6 in the RBS 6 Nations match at Murrayfield.

England’s new era began with a scrappy first win at Murrayfield in eight years as Scotland’s familiar failings contributed to their downfall.

Two Dan Parks penalties handed Scotland a 6-3 half-time lead and put the hosts on course for just a second opening weekend win in 13 attempts in the tournament before he turned villain 24 seconds into the second half.

Charlie Hodgson charged down a Parks kick before applying the scoring touch. Farrell converted and finished with eight points on his debut.

The reinforcements had a near-immediate impact when Laidlaw appealed for a try after chasing his own chip, only to fail to get the required downward pressure ahead of Ben Youngs.

Ross Rennie darted through a gap and attempted to find Blair, only for Foden to snuff out the pass.
Farrell missed a penalty attempt from halfway after 71 minutes as England spurned the chance to take a seven-point lead.

England replacement Mike Brown earned a penalty after Scotland failed to release and Farrell this time booted England further ahead with five minutes remaining.

Scotland continued to look for opportunities but were repelled on each occasion by England, who saw out their first win in Edinburgh since 2004.

Waterford Crystal Cup: Tipperary and Cork progress

The hurlers of Tipperary and Cork will enjoy an early-season duel in the Waterford Crystal Cup semi-finals next weekend after both sides progressed through to the last-four of the competition.

Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s Cork side showed little mercy to neighbours Kerry today as they thumped them 5-18 to 1-14 in a one-sided quarter-final clash at Pairc Ui Rinn.

Brian Corry finished with a 2-0 tally for the Rebels, with the hosts’ other goals shared out between Pat Horgan (1-3), Eoghan Murphy (1-3) and Ryan Clifford (1-1).

Kerry trailed by 1-10 to 0-7 at half-time before Cork stepped up their efforts in the second half, with Corry finding the net early on.

Clonmel will be the venue for the Tipperary-Cork encounter after the Premier County side knocked out UL with a 2-11 to 0-12 defeat in difficult conditions in Nenagh.

Tipp seized the early initiative to move 2-4 to 0-0 ahead after 18 minutes’ play thanks to goals from Pa Bourke (free) and Brian O’Meara.

UL improved as half-time approached, closing the gap to 2-4 to 0-5, but with Brendan Maher, O’Meara and John O’Brien showing well, Tipp had a firm grip of the lead.

Clare’s Conor McGrath scored 0-7 (0-6f) for UL just two days after his sharpshooting helped the Fitzgibbon Cup holders snatch a draw with LIT in the university competition.

Bourke finished with a personal haul of 1-3 (1-2f) for Tipp with Eoin Kelly (0-3) and Adrian Ryan, John O’Neill, Gearoid Ryan, O’Brien and James Woodlock (0-1 each) sharing out the rest of the winners’ points.

Aguero ends barren streak as City celebrate three-goal win

FT: Manchester City 3 Fulham 0

Sergio Aguero ended his five-game barren streak by sending Manchester City on their way to a comfortable win over Fulham.

Aguero drove home his 19th goal of the campaign from the penalty spot after just nine minutes on a snowy evening at the Etihad Stadium.

A Chris Baird own goal and a second-half tap-in for Edin Dzeko saw City open up a three-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

Etuhu was replaced by Bryan Ruiz but Fulham did not really look like scoring and it was no surprise when Dzeko tapped home a third from Aguero’s square pass after another excellent run from the Argentinian.

Kolarov, about to be booked for hauling Moussa Dembele back, was fortunate to escape a red card when he got engaged in a head-to-head duel with the Fulham man, who was cautioned.

Fulham came close when Ruiz’s cross struck Dzeko and clipped the post before rolling to safety.

Baird was booked for chopping Dzeko down and as the game entered stoppage time, Pizarro came on for his City debut, with Johnson making way.

Tyrone impress with win against Kildare

Ribkin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:31:22 +0000

04/02/2012 – 19:39:31
Tyrone 2-11 Kildare 0-12

Tyrone turned on the style in the second half to lay down an impressive marker in their bid for promotion back to Division One.

They blitzed Kildare with a superb attacking performance to take both points from their Division Two opener.

Martin Penrose and Peter Harte punched home the goals that downed the Lilywhites and gave manager Kieran McGeeney pklenty to think about as he bid to guie his side back to the top tier of the NFL.

And old stagers Owen Mulligan and Stephen O’Neill turned in vintage attacking performances, while there was an unexpected boost, with Sean Cavanagh, who had been expected to miss the first half of the league through injury, making his return as a late sub.

O’Neill angled over a delightful opening point, but the Red Hands struggled to build on that early flourish.

Although the former Footballer of the Year doubled ht lead from a free, it was Kildare who eased into their stride after Eoghan O’Flaherty finally opened their account from a 16th minute free.

Mikey Conway knocked over a 13 metre free to bring the Leinster men level, and it was corner back Peter Kelly who pressed forward to take Conway’s pass and punch over the lead point on 22 minutes.

Kildare, with Johnny Doyle now on the field, stretched the advantage to three points with scores from Conway and Padraig O’Neill, who with a little more composure could have had a goal when sent in by O’Connor

The Red Hands struggled to find fluency and managed just one score in the second quarter, an Owen Mulligan free.

Kildare, thanks to Conway’s third score of the evening, went in at the break with a 0-6 to 0-3 lead.

But it was a transformed Tyrone team that took the field for the second half. They closed down the attacking threat from deep, and pushed forward with purpose, with Mulligan moving to centre forward to pull the strings and pick holes in the Kildare rearguard.

Harte crossed for Penrose to palm home a goal in the 41st minute, and Mulligan and Ronan O’Neill arrowed over points.

But Kildare fought back for Padraig O’Neill and Conway to shoot points, while O’Flaherty converted a ’45 after Aidan Cassidy had blocked out a Conway shot on goal.

Tyrone struck for the decisive second goal in the 56th minute, and this time it was the impressive Harte who turned finisher, punching home Mulligan’s cross to open out a three points lead.

The Red Hands never allowed the advantage to slip, although Tommy O’Neill and Eamonn Callaghan both broke through to blast in shots which sent narrowly wide.

Conway tagged on a couple of scores, but Mulligan and O’Neill nailed another couple of points as Tyrone tightened their grip.

Tyrone scorers: M Penrose, P Harte 1-0 each, Stephen O’Neill 0-5 (2f), O Mulligan 0-3 (1f), D McCaul, R O’Neill, Mark Donnelly 0-1 each

Kildare scorers: M Conway 0-6 (4f), P O’Neill, E O’Flaherty (1f, 1 ’45) 0-2 each, J Doyle, P Kelly 0-1 each

Tyrone: P McConnell, A McCrory, C Clarke, PJ Quinn, C McCarron, P Harte, Sean O’Neill, M Murphy, A Cassidy, Mattie Donnelly, P Hughes, M Penrose, O Mulligan, Mark Donnelly, Stephen O’Neill.

Subs: D McCaul for Quinn, R O’Neill for Hughes, N McKenna for Cassidy, R McMenamin for Mattie Donnelly

Pressure is on United: Johnson

Johnson celebrates with David Silva today

04/02/2012 – 19:45:25
Adam Johnson believes Manchester City have put the pressure on their title-chasing rivals after they beat Fulham 3-0 in their Barclays Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium.

Sergio Aguero opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Chris Baird brought down Johnson before a Baird own goal and Edin Dzeko strike sealed the win for City.

The result means City go three points clear at the top of the table with second-placed Manchester United playing Chelsea tomorrow.

City have also now won 12 out of 12 games at home this season as they recovered from a 1-0 defeat in midweek at Everton.

“It was obviously important to bounce back and get a good result today after the Everton game where we didn’t play as well as we should,” Johnson told ESPN.

“It’s nice to get in early and get the three points and put the pressure on the other teams. We’re looking forward to seeing the results tomorrow, and as I say, putting them under pressure.”

Goalscorer Dzeko believes City’s early lead, after Aguero’s 10th-minute penalty, helped them to take control of the match in tricky conditions.

“From the beginning it was a very hard pitch and when it’s like this it’s always better to score at the beginning of the game, then it’s easier for us to play,” Dzeko said.

The striker believes goal difference could also be crucial come the end of the season with matters very tight at the top of the table.

“Every goal is important so goal difference is very important. We now have three points more than United but they have a tough game tomorrow. It was a good game to win today.”

Best NETBOOK brand and type?

Hi, i am hoping to get a Net-book soon but i am not sure which one to get. I have heard a lot about the Acer and Toshiba net-books. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY OVER 410$ I have been to 6 stores and have found these, which one is the best???(Quality, durability and speed, etc)

Thanx SSSSSSOOOOOOOOO much!!!!! This is a BIG DEAL to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ribkin answers:

DO NOT get the acer. If you’ve heard alot about them, you know not to buy one. You should consider dell mini, asus eeepc, hp mini and the toshiba. Dell mini is the current favorite of geeks that do hackintoshes. The asus eeepc T101MT has a “pine trail” chip and a multitouch tablet display. The samsung N150 and the dell mini will have the option of buying 4G “wimax” internet service.
Dell, hp asus and toshiba are often used by techs to remote into our real computers.

It might be a good idea to reexamine if you want a netbook. Remember, a netbook is an ACCESSORY to a real computer, NOT a replacement for one. If you buy a netbook, you will also need a “real” computer.
Netbooks do NOT have pentium class processors, they do NOT have video cards, so you can’t play games. They do not have dvd drives so you can’t watch a movie unless you buy an external drive for 75 bucks. They have HORRIBLE keyboards that you can NOT touch type on. The screens are mini and you have to scroll right and left AND up and down on alot of webpages. Because of the size of the screen and it’s low resolution, your eyes will get tired very fast. IF you are very high end user who is always on the run, netbooks are GREAT tools. If you are a “grandma user” just getting email and light surfing, it can be a great tool. If you have any expectations of real computing with it, you will be VERY disappointed.

If you still want a netbook, go to hp outlet or dell outlet. There are TONS there that people have returned because they thought they could do what a laptop can do and you can get a “refurbished model” that is probably in perfect condition for alot less.

EDIT: I agree with “bassman”, For 410, you can get an entry level laptop.

Netbook or Laptop Guys?

I wanted to find a cheap Netbook or Laptop for a budget of $250.
Basic Uses:
iTunes
The Sims 2 (I’ll get an external drive)
Internet browsing
Youtube
Hulu
Downloading Some
Writing
Burning CD

I was wondering what can I get for the money that can do these things well. I’m really only having a problem with it playing The Sims 2 at least. Please if you can tell me about netbooks or laptops that are good for a cheap price. Should I see if I can extend my Christmas budget like I did last year with the (32gb iPod Touch) or should I wait until another deal comes along. Netbooks and Laptops are getting higher around Christmas time!!!

Ribkin answers:

You probably won’t be able to play sims on a netbook, and you’d need to buy a separate CD burner for it (unless you already have a desktop – then you can download to the NB and copy that to a flash drive for transferring to your desktop for burning.

“wanted to find a cheap Netbook or Laptop for a budget of $250. ”

Have you considered….going to a bunch of websites for big retailers and seeing what they sell for $250? You can compile a spreadsheet, with separate columns for your search criteria (model, retailer, price, CPU, HD, weight, etc) and a separate line for every potential laptop or netbook that fits what you’re looking for. (if you find the same computer in several stores, make a separate line for each of them – that way, if there’s a price difference, you’ll be aware of it.)

“Netbooks and Laptops are getting higher around Christmas time!!!”

Not sure if that’s true, but if it is why would you buy one during christmas time?

I dont really care about the wifi I just want the damned thing to let me read my email it is so ridiculously slow I did expect it to part the red sea for Christs sake Im not a gamer or torrent freak I am however I frequent forums research is really all I do but it wont even do that

Ribkin answers:

Hi Tabby
this what some of older persons would comment a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
Here we have a very small computer with minimum processing power it has Windows compact edition installed which is a cut down version, the wireless enabled means you can use it near a hot spot but it’s not the same as a full blown laptop it’s processor is a single core atom usually with 1gb ram which limits what it can do. So e-mails no problem but surfing really goes out the window or not really possible.
Because you get what you pay for with all things in life.
You could install a phone dongle that would be useful when not near a Hotspot, but it will not be fast and it is still only meant for e mails.
The items does not break the trades descriptions act as it states what it is.
It is your understanding which is to blame, or should i say lack of knowledge about these items.

But I am having trouble deciding which one to get her since I have only delt with desktops for a long time and just recentley started to mess with laptops/notebooks. I have seen asus aspire one and Dells mini 10 but I am wondering which one will be the best for her
needs.

What she will be doing :
1. Getting on facebook and playing games like farmville
2: posible watching netflix instant watch while I am at school
3. At times chatting with me while I am in between classes.

I know a small list but hey I am typing on my iPod touch here. All I want to know is which netbook everyone thinks well be the best for these three major things she will be doing?

Ribkin answers:

Netbook=crappy waste of time. Get a Dual core laptop for $400 it will be more expensive by like $100 but you will be able to actually do things with speed and not chugging along like your computer is the slow lane of traffic.

St Mary’s shade it against Garryowen

Ribkin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:38:58 +0000

04/02/2012 – 18:12:09
St Mary’s College 13 Garryowen 12, Templeville Road

Declan Cusack’s rapier right boot almost guided Garryowen to a surprise win over leaders St Mary’s College in Ulster Bank League Division 1A.

Cusack scored the only points of a closely-fought second half at Templeville Road, landing three penalty attempts to cut the margin to a single point.

But St Mary’s, as they have shown throughout this campaign, are well able to hold onto a slender lead and they did enough in the end to claim their eighth league victory on the trot.

All of their points came in the opening 40 minutes with centre Mark Sexton, brother of Ireland out-half Jonathan, finishing off a back-line move for the only try of the game.

Winger Ray Crotty, kicking in the absence of the injured Gavin Dunne, landed the conversion and two penalties to make it 13-3 at the break.

And although a Paul Neville-inspired pack got through plenty of work and Cusack looked in a match-winning form, the Light Blues fell just short as St. Mary’s completed a season’s double over the Limerick club and retained the Shay Derring memorial trophy.

Scorers: St. Mary’s College: Try: Mark Sexton; Con: Ray Crotty; Pens: Ray Crotty 2
Garryowen: Pens: Declan Cusack 4
HT: St. Mary’s College 13 Garryowen 3

Staunton penalty proves winner for Young Munster

Young Munster 9 Cork Constitution 7, Tom Clifford Park

Young Munster out-half Willie Staunton was once again the match winner as the Cookies survived some late drama to beat Cork Constitution at Tom Clifford Park.

Two successful kicks inside 26 minutes had Munsters 6-0 in front. But, in one of their rare incursions inside the Young Munster 22, Cork Con’s Niall O’Driscoll nipped in for his sixth try of the season which out-half Johnny Holland converted.

An early second half penalty by Staunton proved to be the match-winning score in the end. Munsters were left hanging on though as Cork Con created several phases of play in the dying minutes.

The visitors’ efforts culminated with a drop goal effort by Holland which went wide of the target and the Limerick outfit were left celebrating a famous season’s double over Constitution.

Young Munsters’ second league victory on the trot keeps them within striking distance of the leaders, sitting in third place just four points behind pacesetter St. Mary’s.

The defeat puts quite a dent in Constitution’s own title challenge – they lie fifth overall, 11 points off top spot, with Blackrock their visitors next weekend.

Scorers: Young Munster: Pens: Willie Staunton 3
Cork Constitution: Try: Niall O’Driscoll; Con: Johnny Holland

Joey Barton

04/02/2012 – 18:23:03
Footballer Joey Barton could be in trouble with the UK’s Attorney General after posting a series of comments online about John Terry ahead of his trial for allegedly racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

The Queens Park Rangers midfielder posted the remarks on Twitter yesterday after Terry was stripped of the England captaincy.

Barton aired his views then added: “I’ll probably get a letter now from ’the powers that be.’
“If you’re reading this don’t bother………”

Terry denies the charge and will stand trial in July, only days after Euro 2012 finishes.

Barton later returned to Twitter website and defended his comments on the grounds of free speech.

However a spokesman for Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC, said: “I can confirm the Tweets have been brought to our attention and have been viewed.”

The British Attorney General’s remit includes ensuring defendants facing criminal allegations receive a fair trial.

Quins top division with home win

Ribkin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:16:30 +0000

04/02/2012 – 18:28:01
With Ballynahinch and Dungannon drawing on Friday night, Belfast Harlequins’ home victory over Galwegians has put them top of the pile in Division 1B.

Today’s 19-13 triumph over the westerners represents a fourth successive win for ‘Quins who are motoring along nicely with scrum half Ian Porter taking the plaudits again.

Porter converted a 35th minute penalty try and kicked four penalties in all for a 19-point personal haul.

‘Wegians hit back in the second half with a late try from flanker David O’Hara to earn a losing bonus point, but a 60th minute kick from Porter effectively put the hosts out of sight.

At Eaton Park, home advantage helped Ballymena see off Bruff on a 17-8 scoreline and move up to third in the table.

Luke Marshall and Brian Cahill traded penalties in the opening half, before tries from Ulster-capped centre Marshall and lock Andrew Kerr saw the Braidmen make it two wins on the bounce.

Centre David Lynch had UCD on course for full points against Buccaneers, with his first half brace moving them into a 12-0 interval lead at Belfield.

However, Buccs came good in the second period to take a 16-15 verdict, aided by an Alex Hayman try and 11 points from the boot of talented young out-half Jack Carty.

Neither UL Bohemians or UCC could manage a first half score in this afternoon’s mudfest at Annacotty, but the dominant UL pack got on top in the second half to carve out a 8-3 victory.

Following a series of close-in scrums, Bohs number 8 Sean Rennisson got in for a try after 48 minutes and Ben Martin kicked a penalty seven minutes later.

UCC fluffed a penalty chance before full-back Luke Duffy was on target after 68 minutes.

UL had suffered an early setback when they lost their highly rated Munster-contracted prop Dave Kilcoyne with an eye injury after only two minutes, and Garry Walsh took his place.
