Is Kelleher about to buzz into The Bees?
Speculation is mounting that Republic Of Ireland goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is on the verge of signing for Brentford just days after the Corkman collected a Premier League winners’ medal at Anfield with Liverpool. The Irish stopper has made no secret of his desire to leave the now champions in order to get more first team…

Freezing safely is better than dodgy double Glazing
Some people seemingly just can’t help themselves. If you thought the Glazers’ days of screwing and/or destroying Manchester United were over, think again. Just when it appeared the asinine Americans or their underlings couldn’t do any further damage to the club, they’ve only gone and outdone themselves. Not content with diverting money away from Old…

Circus over as stability and form return
Liverpool against Newcastle United has long been one of the standout fixtures in the Premier League. In terms of drama and excitement. Who will ever forgot the Anfield night when The Magpies saw their title challenge against Manchester United blow up in smoke thanks to a very late wonder-strike from Stan Collymore. Last night’s incarnation…

Kelleher kicks more glory towards The Kop for Klopp
There was a time, often referenced here previously, when there was only access to Irish television in the home place. One of the saving graces of the time, though, was the fact that RTE had coverage of a game in the old English First Division. Liverpool and Arsenal appeared to get preferential treatment when it…

Horner gets Christmas No. 1 as epic battle gets deserved Spicy finish
In the dying embers of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, reference was made to the unforgettable climax to the First Division (now Premiership) of 1989 when Arsenal had to win 2-0 at Anfield to take title away from the home side. And thanks to Micky Thomas’s amazing goal deep into stoppage time did just that. At…

Sympathy for Bruce symbolic of a sporting world gone toxic
There are times, half joking whole in earnest, when it can often be quipped that being in a wheelchair can have its (relative) advantages. Unfortunate case in point most recently when yours truly had to go for yet another Covid-19 test having felt like I’d been backed over by a tractor and tri-axel trailer load…

Two red corners on very different paths
Easter Saturday, 1993. The talented but luckless David Hirst gives Sheffield Wednesday a very early lead at Old Trafford. On a day that, if Manchester United won, they would virtually have one hand on their first League title in over a quarter of a century. Having blown a similarly promising position previously against Leeds United,…

A harrowing, emotional illustration of why there’s always hope
Not all that long ago, mention was afforded in this space to the time my dear mother was the winner of a draw run by the local soccer club for which the first prize was two tickets to see Liverpool vs. Manchester United at Anfield. As was referenced in the previous piece, with there being…

Will it always be sunny at the Racecourse Ground?
Several times in recent months mention has been given to the fact new avenues have to be unearthed and explored in a sometimes vain attempt to maintain some degree of emotional strength and hope. Horizons have had to be broadened. With farming out of the equation by circumstances beyond my control and NPHET/the ‘Government’ making…
