Jab lift has hope in sight if we don’t self-destruct
Occasionally in life we encounter people, places or things which impact upon us far more than any of us realise. Or at least it takes a long time for the full effect thereof to fully dawn. What’s coming to mind in this instance – and not for the first time in this space – is…

If solutions were that simple there wouldn’t be a problem
For the last 3 years as @MeathGAA P.R.O. I have asked for a Commercial Manager to be employed. Unfortunately on numerous occasions I’ve been told to stop bringing it up. We have needed this for years and we must act promptly to rectify it. Ciaran Flynn Sir Alex Ferguson was loathsome of football agents. A…

Breaking News – Mickey Harte finds new venture
BY SUSIE KIERNAN Sensational news breaking from the Wee County tonight. Mickey Harte didn’t keep us waiting too long to find out his plans for 2021. In a rather unlikely move, Harte has been appointed as the new Louth senior football manager on a three year term. Louth GAA also confirmed tonight that Gavin Devlin…

Understanding must not open the gate to the slippery slope
In the course of rounding up last weekend’s events in the National Football League, this corner had no problem expressing solidarity with the Leitrim footballers in their decision to concede a walkover to Down as they were seemingly unable to fulfill the fixture. At the time, my thinking was that even the mere mention of…

A look around the football leagues
In a very strange way, there was a buzz of excitement here in the office today watching the results filter in from around the grounds today as the Allianz National Football League continued in resumption mode. Naturally, the grounds looked eerily strange devoid of spectators – though as one media colleague pointed out, a lot…

Plenty of positives but the ten year wait goes on
Meath 0-19 Dublin 1-20 If one wanted to be straightforward about the meeting of the old rivals at Parnell Park tonight, already relegated Meath are still without a point in this year’s National League. And still a decade without a win over the boys in blue. However, when these two collide it’s generally anything but…
