Ruth Keogh is sick of the arguing over who should be the Irish sports person of the year.

Instead of arguing, how about we look at from a different angle. Isn’t it great that we have so many amazingly talented people to choose from. 2014 has been a good year in Irish sport, let’s hope 2015 is just as great xxxx

Mike Cullinane sees a link between hurling and darts.

Shefflin would be like Bobby George if the Hurlers got them.

The comments section in our Football Clichés interview took jargon to a whole new level.

If you do read it, just take it one page at a time.

Batigol had a clever update of the by now clichéd joke about Robbie Keane’s boyhood dream in the article on LA Galaxy playing Shamrock Rovers.

A boyhood club Robbie probably won’t join. :(

Mac L celebrated Christmas early owing to the high standards of commenting on the Neville and Carragher zonal marking piece. 

Good points, well made. And a back and forth in the comments section that didn’t resort to name calling as well. I’m off to the pub to celebrate.

Setrakian is a big fan of Jimmy White as both a player and a person.

Such an incredibly gifted player & a joy to watch when in full potting mode. If he’d been clean there’s no doubt he’d have hoovered up multiple world titles instead of coke but being above ground & competing after all he’s been through is still one hell of an achievement. My brother used to own a pub in Cork and years ago Jimmy came over to play exhibition snooker in the pub to raise funds for a local charity – didn’t ask for a cent – paid his flights, hotel etc and was a thorough gent. Probably got a few free pints though! Jimmy you’re a legend regardless.

Dave Murray is amused by Raheem Sterling’s reportedly exorbitant wage demands. 

And don’t forget that Sterling will no doubt be accepting no less than £100,000 a week in basic salary after today.

Adrian Bane wants to see Andy Lee defend his world title in Thomond Park, and we can’t say we disagree.

“Couldn’t happen to a better fella than andy lee, hopefully gets a chance to fight and defend his title in thomond park.”

dabuyincojen has some advice for Brendan Rodgers.

Bring in Heskey for Ballotelli!!

Stephen O’Flynn is a fan of Alan McLoughlin.

Both parents irish. To me that’s full Irish and I have met so many like him in London . They tend to be more patriotic than ourselves to be honest.
