FIGHT!
hah, klasse!
So, the Irish Times buckled and stated the Bishop never bowled in bishoprick (yes, that’s a correct alternative spelling) garb, yet photographic evidence shows the IT to be wrong.
Maybe the IT should print another correction and apology….to its rapidly diminishing (-5% in the year to June 2014) band of readers.
That’s just the way he struts.
Well now, ain’t that a kick in the cossack.
If the Bishop says it then its true, that picture looks Photoshoped to me.
Mental reservation now applies to sport.
The only part of the picture that looks PhotoShopped is the wig. Must be a hairpin bend he’s bowling around.
That’s actually traditional “throwing of a stone around a bendy road” championship garb, which is in no way religious. Classic liberal, agenda pushing, anti-God, secularist, broadsheet.ie bs.
Even though bishops are duty bound, they’re still human beings.
Looks like a great day and I’m sure the boys of St Finbarr’s College (where he taught for many years) practised their road bowling skills twice as hard from the sight of the inspirational bishop in his garb.
Too tongue-in-cheek, ABM. A little too knowing :-)
Pull the other one, it’s got rosaries on
It’s easy to make a mistake like that when you are a busy bishop – in fairness.
Yeah, I an sure the sight of many a bishop with many a big ball cradled in his hand inspires many a young boy.
Inspires fear….
I’m loving the wig.
Lying knob.
Is that Sinead O’Connor or Elvis Costello?
I think the Irish Times needs to correct the correction. Don’t expect much action on that.
Lying liars lie.
I wonder if the bishop wears a divided skirt, like the ones the nuns prescribed for us convent girls during sports in days gone by?
Surely thats Dave Allen ?
That photo epitomises the greatness of the man – a patriot, a scholar, a brilliant teacher, a gifted administrator, a leader, a loving man and a role model adherent to the Gospel. I never saw this photo before today, but I feel inspired and humbled by him all these years later. An all round great guy whose work will resonate on this earth forever.

All this bashing the bishop must stop immediately.
No pulling the mick out of the papacy at all?
Then turn your wrath upon the simians….
Spank those little monkeys remorslessly
Did I miss something? Who cares?! Seriously, who took the time to prove this point(less)? It’s not proving he is a liar, more that he …. – oh wait, who really cares?
I think it’s more that the Irish Times doesn’t do fact checking than any particular concern over what the bowling priest wears.
Ha. I knew one ‘ov ye would dig out that pic for us
Superbs (& snorts) to Robinaldo indeeds!
