One step forward, at least four back
The inner sanctum of the GAA at any given time and its surviving elders are about as receptive to change as one would be to a fart in a space suit. To that end, it’s actually quite astounding that initiatives like the Back Door, the introduction of red and yellow cards and the belated adoption…

Sideline Cuts – 22
Revolving Doors Keeping The Void At Bay At the risk of boring our devoted and treasured readers, one more mention of displeasure felt at the split season in GAA needs a run out. This time, though, it’s in the context of a long standing part of the off-season filling the void therein. That being the…

Jack De Bromhead – R. I. P.
For many of us, sport consumes and envelopes so much of our lives that it can be very easy, and dangerous, to lose sight of the fact that it is just that. Only Sport. The shot that looked over but was waved wide, the putt which circled the hole but lipped out or the punt…

Media’s loss, gain or a potent mix of the two?
You sense it must be like a drug to him. To the best of my knowledge, he’s a non drinker and non smoker. Furthermore, you never hear of him having any interest or involvement in other sporting codes. Those are the reasons it was highly surprising to see Davy Fitzgerald step away from his role…

Even silage sides wouldn’t save some of the load from being a problem this time
July 11th last marked a dozen years since Joe Sheridan scored the most controversial goal ever recorded in Croke Park. A guess would be hazarded that even at this stage Meath supporters are sick talking about it. Yet in recent days, once again, it has been returned to for comparative purposes. You see, only weeks…
