Fergus Gibson would be unemployed if depending on the Tones
Trying to predict the outcome of sporting events, or maybe anything in life is predicated on things going according to script, as it were. The thing is, though, time and experience are very much showing, though, that Wolfe Tones are very much of a mind to write and produce their own scripts. Going back as…

Meath announce the same starting 15
The Meath senior football management team have announced the same starting 15 for tomorrow’s Allianz National Football League Div. 2 encounter with Roscommon at Pairc Tailteann.

Improved second half won’t mask bitter disappointment
Meath……0-06 Galway……1-14 Though Meath fans of a certain age mightn’t realise it, there have been tough days like this before.

Saran settles the issue in the fifth minute
Dunboyne…..0-09 Wolfe Tones……1-09 Like the Down footballers, it had to happen to us eventually too. Where Cork undid the hitherto 100% record of the men from the Mourne Mountains in All Ireland finals in 2010, Wolfe Tones deservedly gave Dunboyne their first taste of defeat in a Keegan Cup at Pairc Tailteann this afternoon. In…

A way forward based on continuity
There was much conjecture surrounding the ‘debate’ involving Pat Gilroy and Andy McEntee thrown onto The Sunday Game in a scatter-gun manner at the end of last year. To call it a debate, though, would be to deploy it with the utmost linguistic licence. What it actually amounted to was a party political broadcast on…
