Good to see he’s doing something with his days anyway. Fabian Delph has had a bitch of a time since joining Manchester City. He pulled his hamstring in his first pre-season friendly, he had to sit and watch the start of the campaign from the stands and now he’s missing the end of it with […]

In this life, timing is everything, and not many people were impressed with Jack Grealish’s Tuesday night. In a not at all shocking development, Aston Villa parted company with manager Remi Garde on Tuesday night after 23 games in charge. At 9.15pm the club released this statement. Club statement: Rémi Garde. Information is here: https://t.co/BCfTjBxWT8 #AVFC pic.twitter.com/qy74q7kdtz […]

Could Leinster, Munster, Ulster and Connacht one day be taking on the Bulls, Highlanders and Waratahs? If you believe new New South Wales chief executive Andrew Hore, then the answer is yes. Hore is leaving his post with Welsh side Ospreys to join the Australian Super Rugby outfit, and the New Zealander sees a potential […]

Great pass from 5+2, threading the ball through to 20-9. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but Romania’s footballers won’t care and neither do we. The squad have dispensed with regular numbers on their training kit ahead of Sunday evening’s goalless draw against Spain, instead wearing a series of mathematical equations on their backs. It’s […]

Still banging them in. Former Cork City striker Roy O’Donovan may have embarked on a nomadic football career, but that hasn’t stopped the ex-League of Ireland star hitting the target on a regular basis. After bouncing around the lower divisions in England, the 30-year-old had a successful spell in the Singapore League before joining Australian […]

Jack Byrne is a player many fans would want to see given a run-out in Martin O’Neill’s Ireland team. And when you watch a friendly like Friday night’s less-than-thrilling 1-0 win over Switzerland it’s hard to argue the case for senior international football – or senior international friendlies at least– being on some exalted level, beyond […]

Often, it’s the little things that end up making a difference. Ireland are heading towards Euro 2016 on a high after a blistering finish to their qualifying campaign and morale in the camp was given a further boost with Friday night’s 1-0 win over Switzerland at the Aviva Stadium. The good vibrations in the squad offer […]

Johan Cruyff (1947-2016). RIP. Football lost one of its all-time greats on Friday when it was confirmed that Johan Cruyff had lost his battle with cancer at the age of 68. It’s hard to think of one person who has done more for football, as a player and a visionary, as the Dutch legend. And […]

The two most successful teams in English football history are going through a rough ol’ patch. Liverpool have not won a league title in 26 years while Manchester United have looked a shadow of themselves since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. A lack of quality on the pitch is apparent and the disappointing performances turned […]

Well, that is disappointing. Nobody brought more joy to Republic of Ireland fans during Euro 2016 qualifying than Jon Walters, and that was before he scored the brace against Bosnia that secured our passage to France. Unfortunately the home faithful will not have an opportunity to pay homage to the Stoke City attacker during Friday’s friendly […]

The battle of Beijing?

Macclesfield Town have form for being creative with money. The National League Premier outfit famously set up a crowdfunding page in an attempt to finance a bid for England’s Raheem Sterling, but their frugal approach has now extended to match footage. The Silkmen’s goalless draw with Boreham Wood was not the most thrilling, but they […]

You will respect his authority. Did you hear that Jonjo, Jack, Georginio and Papiss? You will respect Rafa Benitez’s authority. The former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager claimed his first point as Newcastle manager on Sunday when the Magpies shared the Tyne-Wear spoils with Sunderland. The result leaves both clubs mired in the relegation zone […]
