Recently, this corner learned that both American Football and Basketball have in their arsenal a transgression called ‘Delay Of Game’. It means exactly what it says on the tin.

Battling Meath bag stalemate but no Final berth
Meath…1-07 Longford…0-10 A brace of late points from Trim’s Aaron Lynch earned Meath a deserved share of the spoils in this entertaining O’Byrne Cup encounter played in horrendous wind and rain at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Regrettably, it wasn’t enough to take Colm O’Rourke’s team through to the final of the pre-season competition. By virtue of the fact […]

From the frying pan to the fire but not over the rainbow
Another week, another mess for a GAA referee to deal with. Consequently more bad press for the Association. Obviously, nobody – you’d hope – would deliberately start a ruckus, but the main talking points this week seem to be how these incidents are (a) dealt with and (b) reported on.
