It’s safe to say that if this happens it will be about the only thing Memphis Depay has in common with Phil Chisnall. The road from Old Trafford to Anfield is not well travelled. At least not if you’re a player. The last person to move directly from Manchester United to Liverpool was Phil Chisnall […]

Something is stirring in Thomond Park and all is expected to be revealed later.

Not so super Mario. Jurgen Klopp may be down to just two fit strikers for the rest of the season, but we doubt Mario Balotelli even crossed his mind once in the last week. Divock Origi’s injury leaves Liverpool with Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke as their frontmen for the last few games of the […]

One club, one county. And for the hurlers of Fermanagh, that is very much the case as they begin their Nicky Rackard campaign this afternoon against Monaghan in Brewster Park. The search for Croke Park glory today begins for Seamus McCusker and his troops, and he should have no problem with players not getting along […]

Consider it an act of mercy. This time last week a group of young men was being sent out to their eternal damnation as footballers under the age of 18 willing to play for Kilkenny. They did not know it at the time, but their record hammering by 71 points at the hands of Wexford […]

There are worse places you could learn your football. Jack Byrne is highly unlikely to be a part of the Ireland squad for Euro 2016, but the Dubliner shouldn’t worry too much. His performances for Dutch bottom-feeders Cambuur this season have earned him serious respect in the Netherlands, and we’d be surprised if he isn’t […]

Poor Arsene Wenger. It seems as guaranteeing Champions League football every season just isn’t enough for fans at the Emirates. The Frenchman is coming under increasing pressure to step away from the club he has transformed in twenty years, after another disappointing Premier League campaign. At the turn of the year, Arsenal looked on course […]

Gary McCabe should know better. In fact, we know the Shamrock Rovers man does know better than to think he could get away with a tackle like this on Dundalk’s captain Stephen O’Donnell.

Ah, it’s only the National League. It’s only April. There is no All-Ireland title handed out in the Spring. Bullshit. This Sunday, what happens in Croke Park will mean something to players and fans, no matter how much either side tells themselves it won’t. Kerry need this win more than Dublin. They crave it. This […]

Sergio Ramos is what some people might call a ‘bit of a boyo’. Very talented, but a red mist often descends, and along with great skill, comes a capacity to do lots of stupid things. The Real Madrid defender has a terrible record of being caught out by referees, and has amassed an incredible 21 […]

Justice has been done. Pucara prop Cipriano Martinez will not play rugby in Argentina for 1,508 weeks and we think that is the least he deserved for this cowardly attack.
