Okay, that last post set off a fair few unexpected spats so maybe it’s time to change the subject. Personally, I blame the lack of football for all this online tetchiness and I don’t think that Sunday’s FBD World Series Final will adequately fill the gap in that respect either. Me, I’m off to Parnell Park with my little Dub […]
I’m back on Holy Ground for the first time in a while and back on broadband too (Digital Divide how are you?) so I’m gradually starting to catch up with stuff, even if it means that work is beginning to catch up with me too. The minor team for Sunday will be announced tomorrow or the day after but before […]
We’re heading off on hols in the morning, down to the far south-west of the country where I’m reliably informed that the internet hasn’t been invented yet. As a result, things are likely to be quiet enough here for the next week or so. Just to keep you all going, though, I’ve stuck up a new poll on the site […]
We’re approaching the finishing line in this year’s NFL mini-league and, unless he comes a cropper at the final fence, Mick C is going to win with a bit to spare. He’s got 63 points to spare on Barney in second place and with only one full weekend of action (plus the two finals themselves a fortnight afterwards) to go, […]
Well, here it is once again folks and once again I’m reaching for the corkscrew to open a rather nice Christmas bottle of red wine and proceed to get more than a little mellow by the fireside. But before I do (and having brought to your attention the match report on and the post-match quotes relating to the over-40s All-Ireland […]
Liam Horan has been on to tell me that his alter ego Championship Man will be making his inaugural appearance on the literary circuit when he takes to the boards at the Kenny-Naughton Autumn School this coming weekend in the picturesque village of Aghamore. I haven’t got a full programme for the event itself but Liam’s gig is part of […]
Well, the environs of it at any rate. We’re all off to Blighty early in the morning for the weekend and we’re planning to make it down to Central London at some point tomorrow where what’s in the picture is firmly on the agenda. With a bit of luck, we’ll have confirmation shortly as to where the showdown with the […]
One of the nice aspects about this self-appointed position of mine is that people tell you things, things that they want others to know, which in turn gives me things to write about. And so the world goes round. I’ve had a few of these in the inbox this week so, in no particular order, here goes: First up, Club […]
Sligo’s U21 manager Fergal O’Flaherty is in fighting form in this morning’s Indo where he insists that his charges have every chance of landing their first provincial title at this level when they face our lads in Markievicz Park tomorrow evening. He says his players have the right attitude and that they’re not interested in moral victories and such like, […]
Okay, given the day of the week what’s in it, I think it might be appropriate to bring something TGIF-ish to your attention. I got an email the other day from the creator (who, incidentally, is a Mayoman) of a website called FaceTheBall.com, which is a GAA (and rugby) prediction league website that he’s just set up. Basically, the site […]
