FOOTBALL WAS THE WINNER

Just wondering if by any chance you are able to get a video of the first 5 minutes of the Australia v Ireland International Rules second game, when that dog ran onto the field and was chasing the ball?! (I still can't believe he was on there for 5+ minutes!). I'd LOVE to be able to download a version of that ...
No luck with any video, Richard, but here’s an update. Dog goes home!

Posted by: The Real JeffS at October 29, 2004 at 04:05 AMit was appropriate that doggie was on the field playing 'football' because it underlined what a total joke that 'international rules' game is. it's an embaressment.
