Tyrone’s Mattie Donnelly seemed very lucky to get away with Chrissy McKaigue flash point
It probably wouldn’t have affected the result. Tyrone had too much legs for Derry in Celtic Park on Sunday. They had too much in reserve sitting primed on the bench ready to be unleashed by Mickey Harte. And they had too much slickness in their system – a counter-attacking game plan which seemingly caught Damian […]

Andy Farrell speaking of Manchester could not have been easy but he did it so poignantly
So many people were affected by the awful news of Manchester on Monday night. Anyone with a kid would’ve empathised. Anyone with a heart would’ve. Anyone who’s been to Manchester would’ve been shocked and appalled and deeply saddened by what unfolded and then those in sport found that they still had to get on with […]

WATCH: Chris Smalling tries to dispel biggest myth that every Jose Mourinho critic has been spouting
Listen, the debate will rumble on until United are challenging for the league next year. Did they have a good season? Two trophies, the fans will argue. Champions League qualification, they’ll point to. Who gives a toss outside of that? #MUFC 2016/17 Community Shield – 🏆EFL Cup – 🏆FA Cup – Q/FPremier League – 6thEuropa […]

CJ Stander’s comments about Limerick leave absolutely zero doubt about his allegiance
CJ Stander, a son of Limerick. He might be an adopted son but he’s loved like their own nonetheless. The Munster, Ireland and now Lions star was awarded on Wednesday as an Honorary International Ambassador for Limerick. Since joining the province in 2012, Stander has thrown himself into the Munster way of life and, now, […]

Life was easier pretending like Jose Mourinho’s tactics actually matter
I was asked before if I’d ever be interested in news journalism. To be honest, I couldn’t have given a quicker no in all my life. That’s real stuff. It’s important stuff. It’s stuff that actually, genuinely matters. Maybe they’re not reporting on hard-hitting cold truths all the time, maybe cabinet reshuffles really don’t mean […]

Mayo didn’t lose because Aidan O’Shea took selfies, they lost because Cormac Costello came on
Blame the own goals. Blame the penalty concession. Blame the changed kickout strategy. Blame a missed free, a tough one albeit. If you need to blame someone or something, if you need to find one tiny inch to hold responsible for why Mayo have fallen short for the last six years, blame something that actually […]

You win or die in the Game of Thrones. The hunt for Sam Maguire isn’t as extreme but sometimes it does feel like this is war time and anything goes. So, as the different kingdoms lay claim to rule, which county best reflects each character in Game of Thrones? GALWAY Theon Greyjoy Took Winterfell whilst […]

Shane O’Rourke is 29 years of age and neither Meath, Ireland or the entire football-loving world has ever seen the best of him. That’s a shame. It’s a shame for him, it’s a shame for his county but it’s a shame for football. His talent is no secret in Royal circles but his mammoth potential […]
