It’s GAA Larry but not as we know it
“We come in peace, shoot to kill/only going forward ’cause we can’t find reverse” went the whimsical yet strangely apt ditty pertaining to the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk et al aboard the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek. Presuming newly-installed GAA Larry McCarthy has at least one PA he could do far worse than…

A leader’s most important job is to provide hope – Act II
If not exactly word-for-ford, that was the gist of the most important line in Colm O’Rourke’s Sunday Independent column on St Valentine’s Day. The Simonstown Gaels manager’s piece was not only enjoyed by yours truly, but needed. Desperately. I am under no illusions that there will be those, cognisant of my fondness for and the…

One Monday night long ago, I rolled into Brady’s for what at the time were the regular few pints. In a scenario that was very typically me, the first night of the week was always my favourite. Purely because there tended to be very few about which meant the staff and auld Sean – God…

Their 11-point dispatching of Dublin (1-15 to 0-07) gave a…

More sequels than Star Trek!
In the previous offering on this site, mention was afforded to that wonderful trilogy of motion pictures revolving around Doc and Marty McFly – Back To The Future. This time around, I’ll have to send for either 007 or Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek. However, it’s quite possible that, in relation to what you…

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…

Logan and Dooher bring their own winning culture
Just days after Mickey Harte’s shock appointment in Louth, it has been announced that a joint ticket of Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher will replace him in his native county. This corner had initially thought that Peter Canavan might have gone for the role, but, chances are, the lure of Rupert Murdoch’s cheque book was…
