I have been reading a lot about Jim McGuinness recently. We all have. Jim comes from Glenties, a place of which I have fond memories. We used to head down there for the craic when we were younger. The local people were mad for the craic too. They were also mad about the Tidy Towns [...]

Kelly and Corbett Eoin Kelly and Lar Corbett are the cornerstones of Tipp’s exhilarating attacking play. Here, Jackie Cahill details their contribution and development over recent seasons.

It is believed they used innovative stem cell injections similar to those received by Stephen O’Neill ahead of Tyrone’s [...]

Darren O’Sullivan I was watching the match on Twitter and the radio when I heard a mention of Darren O’Sullivan in the same breath as the Italian soccer boyo Gianfranco Zola. WTF I thought to myself, sticking on the SKY + to see what the hoor had been up to that merited comparison with a [...]

  Camogs Asked to Remove their Skorts In a controversial move, the Camogie association have sent out their new rules for consultation. Among the items up for consultation are an end to bitching, talking behind other players backs, having relations with other players boyfriend and/or girlfriends.

This is the strange and wondrous story of a former county footballer called Doran Grey. He was a great lad altogether, popular with the ladies, even better with their mothers and an all round team player in every sense. He was lethal off and on the ball.
