Pic of the Day: Irish troops stand to attention for Katie Taylor
Irish people from far and wide stopped what they were doing to watch Katie win gold yesterday, even the troops serving with the 106th Infantry Batallion in the Lebanon.
A group of more than 300 Irish soldiers departed Ireland back in May to join forces with Finnish troops as part of a United Nations Interim Force, taking the place of other Irish personnel who had been stationed in the country since the previous November.
While the troops have more important matters at hand in the Middle East, it’s nice to be kept abreast of what’s going on at home and they weren’t going to miss out on a day that surely ranks as one the best ever days in Irish sport along with the likes of Italia ’90, the Grand Slam in 2009 and the occasions that Ireland previously won gold medals in the Olympics.
They're certainly spoiled for choice with remote controls
The scenes in the picture above might not have replicated what went on in the Excel Arena or in Bray yesterday, but we’re sure the lads made quite a racket. Hopefully we’ll have a couple more medals for them to enjoy before the weekend’s out.

The council expresses 'deep concern' at violations of the 2006 resolution that ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah; the resolution also warns against attempts to threaten the stability of Lebanon amid escalating conflict in Syria.
The resolution adopted Thursday by the council extends the force's mandate until August 31, 2013.
The resolution also warned against attempts to threaten the security and stability of Lebanon amid outbursts of violence and escalating tensions in the country fueled by the 17-month conflict in neighboring Syria.

I still prefer ELP though. Before that I think it was "O'Donnell Abu".
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
