I've always battled against the ideals and requirements of the G.A.A. I never had a problem with the ideas of friendship, community and togetherness. It was the hidden agendas that I fought. The coaches who played the local lads; the local lads who thought they were kings because their father was a coach; the referees … Continue reading How Cian Got His Groove Back
What happened last night was sick. The reaction on Twitter was even sicker. Ed Woodward’s Cheshire home was targeted by between twenty and thirty Manchester United ‘fans’, who lit flares and let them off in the direction of the home. Luckily, no one was home. Despite what you think of the job he is doing … Continue reading Too Far
The only thing you absolutely need to know from last night's game is that Manchester United manages zero shots on target from a possible 12. A dire stat to take away from a mediocre game of football. Despite patches of link-up and individual brilliance from Mason Greenwood, Brandon Williams and Tahith Chong towards the end … Continue reading United not on Target
It has been an interesting decade in the Premier League. United's power was waning from the beginning only to crumble so emphatically and powerfully over the last five years. City seemed to be the ones to take their place at the helm of English football, but they never looked consistently convincing. Chelsea and city traded … Continue reading Premier League Team of the Decade
I've dabbled in games over the years, going through phases. I might get stuck into a few open world games a year and then watch as my interest slowly fades. I'll try and play some First Person Shooters with my brother and get slaughtered enough times that I'll rage quit for another year. Some days … Continue reading “But could he do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke…”
Two red heads, one blonder than the other, bobbled up and down on a patch of green grass. A white Umbro ball passed between them. They both wore Manchester United jerseys adorned with players names across the back. Keane, 16, on the back of the older boy and Beckham, 7, on the younger. The ball … Continue reading David Beckham v Greece, 2001 (Two Red Heads)
It's been a long time since I've written anything about Manchester United. Laziness, lack of confidence and lack of material are some excuses I could use. The fact of the matter is, when the club is in the turmoil that it is in it's tough to write anything without sounding pessimistic and defeatist. When the … Continue reading Another Exciting Summer in Manchester
Domestic football is back after two weeks of the Nation's League/United Nation's/Legion of Doom group games. This new format will be a blight on our intake of Premier League action this year but at least United's players might actually play well for their country! I joke, I joke. Mourinho has always been a master of … Continue reading Watfords’s Title Hopes Suffer Setback
It has been an awkward beginning to the season for Manchester United. A winning, if slightly shaky, start against Leicester gave us three points off the bat which was unpleasantly followed by two losses on the trot; a 3-2 embarrassment against Brighton and a 3-0 hammering by Spurs. The 2-0 victory over Burnley over the … Continue reading An Uncertain Start
Rejoice, one and all! The Premier League returns today with the evening game between Manchester United and Leicester City. This summer has been choc full of sporting action. The World Cup was a fantastic tournament as always and threw up plenty of surprises, while the new system for the All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship has … Continue reading It’s Back!
