An open meeting to discuss the clubs future will take place this Wednesday at […]

And then there were three. The South African Rugby Union have been suspended from hosting major sporting events by their own government. Fikile Mbalula, the Minister of Sport and Recreation, has withdrawn the privileges of SA Rugby to bid for international tournaments. Cricket South Africa, Athletics SA, and Netball SA join them on that suspension list. Each […]

It was an insult to Kieran Donaghy too and it was an insult to Kerry GAA. Everyone likes the high ball. There’s something riveting about watching a piece of O’Neill’s leather scale the top tier of Croke Park and drop beneath the posts. It’s exciting. Anything can happen – or so you’d think. There’s something […]

#FreeMcGregor. That’s actually a thing. Conor McGregor retired. And then he didn’t retire. The MMA world went into meltdown. And then it went into more meltdown. Whatever theory you have behind the Dubliner’s decision, whatever you read into his statement, The Notorious has been pulled from UFC 200 and combat sports Conor McGregor fans are […]

It gets harder and harder to accept Alan Judge’s injury. Alright, he probably wasn’t given much of a chance anyway in the Ireland friendlies in March – stuck on the wing in a dull 4-4-2 formation against Switzerland – but he was setting the place alight for Brentford all season and he could’ve come in […]

Ramiro Funes Mori has apologised to Divock Origi. The Liverpool striker was stretchered off after a nasty challenge during Wednesday’s 4-0 hammering of Everton. Funes Mori caught the Belgian dangerously on the ankle but, although there were no breaks, it’s suspected that Origi has suffered ligament damage. “The ankle is twisted so we have to […]

Conor McGregor has broken his silence and he has said that he has not retired. If you’ve been living under a rock this week – or just in a non-MMA sphere – the UFC featherweight champion shook the fighting world by apparently announcing his retirement on Twitter. I have decided to retire young.Thanks for the […]

“He got carried away”

Talk about being put on the spot. David Moyes chose the wrong day to go on Sky Sports and call the Liverpool and Everton match. The former Manchester United boss watched Jurgen Klopp’s red machine run over the top of his old club with four goals to spare and then he had to sweat it […]

This is not anything to be proud of. It was bad enough that Ramiro Funes Mori could’ve potentially broken the ankle of Divock Origi but to follow it up with a gesture to his crest as if he was doing it some kind of service is not something that even Everton would condone, never mind the […]

Every single year. Every single year, Arsene Wenger has learned his lessons. Every single year, this Arsenal team is different. This Arsenal team is ready. Every single year, we’re forced to listen to the same, old crap. Every single year, it follows an identical narrative. Arsenal come flying out of the blocks, their defence is finally made […]

This is all very new to all of us. There are four games left in the title run-in and the Premier League table has never looked stranger. Chelsea are out of sight, United might as well be and Liverpool are sure to be ready next year – again. Man City and Arsenal are stumbling over […]

No more weight of the world on their shoulders. Gabriel Agbonlahor is continuing to lead by example. The Villa man, who was named club captain at the start of the season, has hit the headlines again – and, as you probably guessed, they’re not for any footballing feats. The attacker – who used to be […]

With Wes Hoolahan reduced to the bench in Norwich’s hour of need by a hapless […]

As Saturdays go, Lewis Kinsella’s probably wasn’t up there with his best. The 21-year-old Aston Villa defender saw his club drop out of the Premier League for the first time as their defeat at Old Trafford confirmed what Joleon Lescott was hoping to have confirmed long ago. Aston Villa fans can't quite believe what Joleon […]

“He’s definitely not under-14.” There have been so many Gaelic myths down through the years on the local GAA scene. Any underage team that have ever been beaten have, at one stage or another, claimed that the other crowd were playing a load of boys ‘over the bar’. From men with stubbles lining out for […]

“Tit.” It was as simple as that. Aston Villa fan Stan Collymore was on the warpath on Sunday after his former team were condemned to the English Championship and he wasn’t taking any of Joleon Lescott’s nonsense anymore. The Villa defender who has infuriated fans a few times already this season offered the final insult […]

A lot of legends have worn the once famous shirts of Manchester United and Aston Villa.

Earn the right to touch greatness. Jurgen Klopp doesn’t take anything for granted. He’s a proud Liverpool man now. He even took distinct pleasure in knocking his old love Borussia Dortmund out of the Europa League because he’s at Anfield – and that’s all that matters now. Great teams have come and gone from that […]

Eamon Dunphy summed it up perfectly on Wednesday night – and accidentally. “Diego Godin,” he said. “We don’t have any highlights of him but this guy is a good player.” The RTÉ post-match analysis of Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Barcelona was fixated on the spirit of Diego Simeone’s side. Dunphy marvelled at their street-fighting […]

Harry Charsley, remember that name. Everton under-21s threatened to steal Cristiano Ronaldo’s limelight on Tuesday night with their 2-0 win over Chelsea. But it was this creative corner routine that caught the eye most as David Unsworth’s men opened up the opposition expertly for Mason Holgate to score. And the assist from Irish underage international Harry […]

It’s a movement. Slag him all you want, but you’re all doing it. Cristiano Ronaldo took serious flak for his post El Clasico celebration – and he deserved it. It was curious that everyone else had gathered around in their kits for a changing room picture after beating Barcelona and Ronaldo found time to strip […]

This is silky in Simon Mignolet’s world. The Liverpool goalkeeper could be forgiven for feeling a bit of pressure, what with all the pressure he puts himself under. He’s made a few mistakes in his time, he’s divided opinion amongst Liverpool fans, and he was picked to man the goals in the frightening Signal Iduna […]
