GAA should pay up before more like Lar Corbett quit
The top sports news stories of 2011 - lots of thrills and a few chills
It’s the time of year when us sports journalists get lazy. We put the feet up, dust down the clichés and do what we always do for the final edition of each and every calendar year – we look back.
We reminisce. We remember the way we were.
All we want for Christmas are tickets - Irish fans allocated 6,000 tickets by UEFA
The first snows fell out our way on Tuesday, the same day the first begging text of many arrived in relation to a certain sporting event in Poland next summer.
Now, it has to be said, the few snowflakes that did land in this part of Meath as your favorite column was compiled were mere novices compared to the heavyweights that visited us this time last year.
We’re Back, So Thanks Trap - Republic of Ireland football team back on form
This sounds like the scene setter for a love story, but it’s not.
Don’t dump on Donegal's defense attack against Dublin in the All-Ireland
Much has been made of Donegal’s view that defense was the only form of attack in Sunday’s All-Ireland football semifinal against Dublin at Croke Park, an unsuccessful stance as it happened.
Shamrock Rovers qualify for the Europa League - bring our pride back
A musical opened in Dublin the other night commemorating the life of George Best, Northern Ireland’s greatest footballer, at a time when Irish football is celebrating the feats of a man who followed him in the other green jersey.

Keeping connected with iKeane
It’s the coolest thing in the world apparently, at least that’s what my kids told me when the subject came up quite recently and my humble cell phone headed for the bin.
Persuaded to do so by those hardly old enough to know any better, I did invest in the Apple revolution quite recently myself -- not due to the fact that I am only a little less than 30 months away from the half century, more due to necessity.
Robbie Keane says bye to the begrudgers in Ireland
It’s a popular past-time in Ireland, particularly among a particular section of the media who have an opinion on Robbie that’s more immovable than the Statue of Liberty.
In their eyes, Robbie Keane is what we Irish call a chancer. According to them, he is a player of limited talent and even more limited ambition who has made a fortune out of moving on from one club to another.
