Sideline Cuts – 35
At some point in the closing stages of Saturday’s Leinster SHC encounter at Parnell Park, Kilkenny’s Cian Kenny got absolutely pulvarised by a Dublin opponent. Now read on… Social media, it’s a bit the (one of millions) line in Father Ted where the main man is trying to explain something to Dougal and he may…

O’Shea ends up with the job seemingly nobody wanted
In an ideal world – whatever that is – the intention would have been to begin this piece by musing that at least the circus pertaining to the Republic Of Ireland manager job appeared to have the curtain drawn on it. But it appears it may still only be the interval therein as John O’Shea…

Laois lucky to have another good Ross on the grid
Mayo’s Lee Keegan bowing out of inter county fare could hardly be classified as a shock. Especially as it was signposted on this site nearly a month ago.
