Good for the heart… Eventually!
Move over Barcelona, you have been eclipsed. The SAS (Sheringham and Solksjaer) deposed by MAM (Mainoo and Maguire). The absense of Roy Keane outweighed by being 4-2 down against 10 men. Peter Schmeichel’s cartwheel being replaced by Andre Onana running over to celebrate with manager Ruben Amorim and cramping up in the process. ITV commentator…

Bruno strikes knockout blow as ferris wheel goes up again
MANCHESTER UNITED… 2 RANGERS… 1 Only hours before production of what you are now reading commenced, from the same space emerged pertaining to the picking of Eoghan Frayne and Ciaran Caulfield as captain and vice captain respectively of the Meath senior football team. The point was made, and will be again, that while surprise at…

If it plays like a flop chances are it is a flop
Manchester United… 1 Arsenal… 3 How the mighty have fallen. And continue to fall. Make no mistake about it, they are still falling. Another transfer window, another episode of Manchester United being outfoxed and outwitted by their contemporaries. What do Matt Le Tissier, Alan Shearer, James Maddison, Cody Gakpo, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Ryan…

The glass is still half full
Manchester Utd… 1 Crystal Palace… 1 If you’d told Erik ten Hag or anybody connected to or interested in Manchester United they’d take four points from their two games this week, chances are they’d have taken your hand off for it. Albeit expectation most likely would’ve been that they would have taken three points tonight…

Statements in Manchester and Munster, now it’s over to Meath
Before the cat jumps all the way out of the bag of its own accord, let’s provide the last nudge. I have returned to meaningful involvement with my local GAA club after a 15-year-hiatus. Part of which was enforced, another element thereof is old ground which doesn’t need to be ploughed up again. There may…

A lot done in nine days – much more to do
As much as many of us ‘lean’ on Sky to keep us abreast of what’s going on in the world of sports, news and politics, there’s no escaping the reality that the organisation is quite thrashy. Witness how they almost glamourised the encitement of the Capitol Riots by Donald Trump or threaded on egg shells…

DriveThru Sports Show – Ep. 23
Just a single topic up for discussion on this evening’s show – the latest spin of the managerial roulette wheel at Manchester United and the end of Michael Carrick’s 15 year association with the club. Hopefully just for now.

Take tonight for what it is and no more
You just knew it. The minute the under siege manager is shown the door, his erstwhile players come out and record a crucial in the Champions League. Not with a worldly performance by any means, but a damnable improvement on what they’d been producing in the closing stages of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer’s reign. Coincidence? Let’s…

Sideline Cuts – 15
Does anybody else remember 7/11 Supermarkets? Whoever was behind the business was certainly well tuned in from a marketing perspective. Not only do the numbers rhyme, in a sporting context at least, they are and for a long time have been seminal digits. Most notably at Manchester United, where the almost inevitable – and merited…

Days you can’t forget to remember
It may come as a shock to some to learn that there was a time yours truly gave serious consideration to becoming immersed in the local soccer scene. Indeed, the fact is that I had been to several soccer matches before wheels transporting this writer parked up on a GAA pitch. Thanks to the kindness…
