Outrageous. Jesus, just when we thought Luke Connolly’s and Michael Murphy’s respective efforts from the sideline were the most special things to happen this weekend, Daniel Flynn goes and does this. Kildare beat Westmeath 2-9 to 0-11 in a crunch clash in Division Three and it was the former AFL player that lit the place […]

The start of the Allianz Leagues, the start of the drama.

Is there anything this man can’t do? Luke Connolly, the bar has been set. The Cork man stole our hearts on Sunday with a delicious placed ball from the ground right out beside the sideline. Michael Murphy? Well he just kicks balls from the sideline for fun. From tighter angles too. The Donegal skipper did […]

There are no words. But we’re going to give it a try anyway. Mesmerising. Phenomenal. Special. Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t enjoyed the same plaudits of late. Despite scoring 57 goals in 57 games in 2015, it’s been said that he isn’t at his best and he hasn’t been in truth. His league stats for this season even […]

Luke Connolly, stop it. It was a decent day for Cork’s footballers. The new season is well and truly under way, they already have silverware to show for it and their nine-point dismantling of Mayo on Sunday proved that they should’ve been shorter odds for the league than the Connacht men were. Amidst their free-scoring […]

Takey-backsies. Atletico Madrid didn’t mean to sign the papers. A season and a half without their prized centre forward is too much and Diego Simeone wants him back. He wants him back for good. And not just because Gary Barlow says so. The Spaniards enjoyed their most successful spell in recent history with the Brazilian-born […]

You’re not the king in this world. Henry Shefflin was decent at the ol’ hurling. The Kilkenny man did alright with his career, managing to win 10 All-Irelands for the county and make his name known to one or two houses around the island too. Yes, with a stick, Shefflin was pretty damn okay. As […]

Michael Bonaparte, how are your nerves? Templeogue Basketball Club came from 11 down at half time to clinch the Men’s National Cup in a nerve-jangling finale in Dublin. Swords Thunder were unlucky to fall at the wrong side of a classic clash that finished 78-75 in favour of a Bonaparte-inspired Templeogue. With the game hanging […]

– “His name is Conor McGregor.” – “YES!” Those guys will just agree with anything. A baptist preacher in Texas is out to get our favourite mixed martial artist (that’s Conor McGregor, by the way). When we thought The Notorious’ trash talk knew no bounds, the Dubliner came out and said he would whoop Jesus’ ass. […]

This could’ve been so much worse. 2-1 down, Lionel Messi taking the piss and a 50-50 ball bounces in between you. It’s the easiest thing in the world to go through the little fecker. Filipe Luis paid the price for his frustrations on Saturday as Barcelona saw off Atletico 2-1 at the Nou Camp but, […]

“Where’s he gone?” If you thought Soccer Saturday was just one big boy’s club, you were right. Paul Merson, Matt Le Tissier, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson were in fits of laughter – even a week later – watching reruns of Riyad Mahrez’ majestic assist for Leicester last weekend. And it was all at the […]

“We’ll see how we are come the summer.” Don’t expect too much to be given away here. Don’t expect anyone to claim anything is going well as eight cagey weeks of some of the Championship’s most promising contenders prepare to do battle in the Allianz Leagues. It’s going to be intense, there are going to be […]

They must want the team to attack. Manchester United fans witnessed one of their team’s best performances of the season and they saw three goals – believe it or not – scored by the Red Devils too. Louis van Gaal’s boys marched on in the FA Cup with a 3-1 victory at Derby but there […]

Catch the fever. It’s that time of year again and crisp GAA fields are being infiltrated by students and scouts and college graduates long since given up the ghost of making it at county. But sure isn’t it good craic? Jerome Quinn has been taking in the biggest third level competition this side of the […]

Solidarity. There was a moving moment of pure class during the AEL Larissa and Acharnaikos game on Friday in Greece when all 22 players sat down in unison. Together. The footballers of the Greek second tier sat down for two full minutes at the start of the game in Larissa out of respect to the the […]

You just can’t satisfy some people. Three points clear at the top of the Premier League and Leicester City are not resting on their laurels. They might have the division’s top scorer already on their books but it hasn’t stopped Claudio Ranieri going out and splashing a club record fee for Loic Remy. It is […]

Club versus county

What a hit. WHAT. A. HIT. Dale Holland, take a bow. Under-16 or not, this young man can bloody well strike a football. The Midleton youngster cracked an unbelievable effort in the CSL and it’s hard not to draw comparisons with a certain flame-haired maestro from Old Trafford. Captured by Mardyke Arena, Holland’s strike flew […]

Anytime, anywhere. Jose Aldo wants a rematch. Nothing else. After all he has done for the UFC, he’s not happy at how he’s been treated. His history, his legacy was undone in 13 seconds with one punch and the least he expected was another shot at the featherweight title he had hogged since its inception. He […]

“It would be an honour to defend the Liverpool shirt.” Alex Teixeira isn’t playing coy anyway. The Shakhtar Donetsk attacker is “frustrated” that his club have rejected the advances of Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool but it hasn’t quashed his desire to move to Anfield. According to the Brazilian, Liverpool have made one offer of 32 […]

Shut up and take our money. There’s a leaked Real Madrid 2016/17 kit doing the rounds and we want it. We want it bad. Los Blancos will be sporting a white jersey next season (imagine) and, if this is the real thing, it’s fair to say that adidas have done a bang-up job. Footyheadlines.com have […]

There are a lot of recurring themes in Jim McGuinness’ book, Until Victory Always. The former Donegal manager talks about breaking down attitudes, pre-conceived notions, ideas that other players, other counties were just better than them. “Why not us?” He asks it over and over. He’s sick of mediocrity. He’s fed up with settling and […]
