    Nothing bubbling yet but the glass is half full

    Rep. Of Ireland… 2 Hungary… 2 Analysis of anything needs context. For example, if you just saw the above scoreline without having seeing the match or any details thereof, you might consider it a poor result. Indeed, were it not for a heroic stop from Caoimhin Kelleher shortly before the break, whatever morsels of positivity…

    Magpies draw short straw on return to Champions League

    Eddie Howe and Newcastle United were left to rue the Champions League draw living up to the club’s nickname (The Magpies) after the black and white stripes were dealt the short end of the stick on their return to European football’s top competition.

Both shipped nine goals against Celtic and Liverpool respectively and both clubs currently find themselves managerless after the services of both Jack Ross and Scott Parker were defenestrated with by their respective employers. Utterly ridiculous and another shameful illustration of…

  • Lennon departs Celtic hotseat

    Neil Lennon’s second spell as Glasgow Celtic manager has come to an end after the former Armagh Gaelic footballer vacated the Hoops’ hot seat. The fiery redhead, who enjoyed a decorated playing career at both Leicester City and Celtic, has paid the price after his erstwhile charges have become tailed off behind Steven Gerrard’s rampant…

  • Variety keeps things interesting

    I would be very much a creature of habit. Owing mostly to superstition. When life was as I wanted it to be – before personal circumstances and Covid-19 made a horlicks of same – that meant going for a few pints on a Sunday, Monday and Wednesday night and getting a Chinese takeaway on a…
