Down with this sort of thing. Obviously UEFA don’t appreciate the value of a real impact. Well, in case they didn’t know, it looks a little something like this. Okay, Mathieu Flamini wasn’t the reason Arsenal lost to Barcelona on Tuesday but he – along with Mertesacker too of course – was the reason the […]

He didn’t find it as funny as the journalists. You’d despair at the lack of flight mode knowledge amongst the English media but this was an innocent enough mistake. A reporter at the Liverpool press conference was caught out with the old full memory problem on Wednesday when his dictaphone started beeping to signal disaster. […]

Line them up. Conor McGregor isn’t too bothered. He told Dana White after learning of Rafael dos Anjos’ injury that he would “fight anyone.” That’s why he’s going one further again. From featherweight, to lightweight and now to welterweight to face Nate Diaz. He’s ready. And, whilst the MMA world has gone into crisis lockdown […]

“If you’re not playing regularly, going into a regular competition can be a problem.” Martin O’Neill has a few months yet before any big decisions are made but he intends on using all the time he can. The Republic of Ireland international manager was up for questions on TV3’s Champions League coverage of Arsenal and […]

Cruel. But funny. If you didn’t hear, Arsenal lost 2-0 in the Champions League second round to Barcelona. They were at home. So that means Barcelona have two away goals as well… Arsenal were actually alright but Lionel Messi scored twice and Olivier Giroud and Mathieu Flamini ballsed up for the hosts to put the […]

It’s all going on. The war between Manny Pacquiao and Nike rumbles on but the Filipino boxer is taking the high ground. Today. After Nike took a stand for the LGBT community rights and terminated Pacquiao’s contract with them when he said that animals were better than homosexuals, it hasn’t died down. On Friday, the […]

Donald Cerrone isn’t just a striker. In the welterweight division, fighting Alex Oliveira at short notice, the 32-year-old proved some of the doubters wrong with what wasn’t just a classy takedown, but a damn right scary submission. In frightening quick time too. The American moved his UFC record to 16-4 with this Fight Night 83 […]

Imagine. Gigi Buffon, the legend that is, was close to plying his trade in the Premier League. Not once, not twice, but thrice. The Italian stopper – one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest – revealed that he was approached on three different occasions by three English rivals at three different time […]

He shoots, he scores. Right? Paul McShane is a man on form. We’re power ranking the Republic of Ireland squad and, on current form, the Wicklow natives makes the Ireland XI for Euro 2016. It’s science. And he’s proving the science works. 1-0 down in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Premier League […]

“There’s one man I have to mention before I go any further and that’s Dave Billings.” There was one man missing from the joyful UCD celebrations on Saturday. But there was one man at the forefront of everyone’s minds. For 20 years, University College Dublin felt Sigerson drought but, this weekend, inspired by Westmeath man […]

Never a dull moment. Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero for Real Madrid on Wednesday night and he showed glimpses that he is back to his very best with another delightful goal. But it seems that he just couldn’t let the whole Messi rivalry go. The Portuguese legend walked out of a press conference on Tuesday […]

Don’t call it a comeback. Cristiano Ronaldo, the man, the myth, the legend. He’s returned. In the build-up to Real Madrid’s 2-0 UEFA Champions League win in Roma, the gauntlet was laid for one of the greatest players of all time. He had to do it in Europe. His 2016 form under Zidane had threatened […]

March 24th 2010. Aston Villa 1 Sunderland 1. Boos ring out around Villa Park. Vicious boos. A midweek draw with Ricky Sbragia’s side mean Martin O’Neill’s men have tied two games in five days at Villa. As a result, Villa have missed out on a chance to go top of the league. The Holte End don’t like it. They […]

No hiding from the numbers. The run-in to France is well and truly on and Martin O’Neill has over 40 players to mull over before selecting his final 23-man squad. The Republic of Ireland head for Euro 2016 with 25 men having already tasted qualifier action. Over a dozen more have been involved in preliminary squads […]

The Down support will be hoping for an away game every week. Against a team who wears black and red too because their new golden number is a gem. The Mourne men unveiled another O’Neill’s jersey on Friday and it’s nothing short of pristine. Down wore a gold top (which turned out more yellow) in […]
