Ireland have beaten Pakistan in the World Cup. I know. It still doesn’t sound right does it. I’m Irish and I’m happy but having spent all day at a birthday party knee deep in quad-bike induced shit, I havent seen the match yet, and I’m an hour away from watching the highlights on Sky. I can’t wait.

Having looked at the scorecard I can only imagine that a conglomerate of dodgy Asian bookmakers have stuffed brown envelopes full of cash (or horses heads full of blood) into the bed sheets of all the Pakistani players hotel rooms, cos last time I looked, Ireland didn’t have the firepower to knock over a top team for such a low score.

Anyway, on this fine and surprisingly victorious St Paddy’s day, we’ll celebrate in style.
