David Moyes is laying down an odd marker at Sunderland. Silva. De Bruyne. Fernandinho. Sterling. Nolito. JOHN FRANCIS O’SHEA. In a perhaps thinly veiled suggestion to his new paymasters that he needs a new centre midfielder, Moyes has selected O’Shea to stem the flow of Manchester City’s phalanx of attacking talent. The Black Cats are […]

This was a fantastic gesture. It was all going so well for the Blitzbokke at Rio 2016. The South Africans had shown glimpses of class in their group stage matches and, after disposing of Australia, fancied themselves against Team GB in their last four clash. They would have to do so without their flyer, and […]

How very Rock n’ Roll. Bradley Wiggins is now a five-time Olympic champion. Not many Wiggins’s can say that. Not many humans can say that. The Team GB track cyclist is now 17 mere golds behind Michael Phelps after helping his pursuit team to the top of the podium and, while they were at it, […]

No filter. A day after helping to eliminate Team GB in the Men’s Lightweight Double Sculls semi-final, Gary and Paul O’Donovan joked, “Tis great to beat the Brits.” Just over 24 hours later and the Cork rowers were interviewed by the BBC after claiming silver medal in a tense, break-neck final. O'Donovan heroes bring back […]

Nice work here. Next Wednesday, at the Aviva Stadium, Dundalk will attempt to take a successful step to become Ireland’s first ever representatives in the Uefa Champions League group stages. Stephen Kenny’s men take on Legia Warsaw in the first league of the Champions League playoff. Glory, history and a lucrative payday await. Dundalk are […]

Nick Cummins didn’t make the Australian Sevens squad but he is in Brazil regardless. Life is like that for ‘The Honey Badger’. The Wallabies star was gutted to miss the Olympics cut for the Australian Men’s Sevens team but that was never going to stop him for setting off to Brazil. The Aussie winger is […]

“I’ll probably be exhausted but I’ll have a great time” – Matthew McConaughey, 2016 The Australian Women’s Sevens team know all about that. The Aussies pipped New Zealand 24-17 to claim gold while the Canadians finished with bronze. The Sevens world champions went 24-5 of the Kiwis but were forced to weather a ferocious comeback. Stout defence […]

Fair play to Lily King for speaking, and acting, so honestly. The 19-year-old American swimmer stormed to Olympic gold, last night, as she reached the wall first in the Women’s 100-metre Breaststroke final. King spoke out about having to compete against Russia’s Yulia Efimova – banned twice for substance abuse – in these Olympic games before […]
