Joe Kinnear played for Ireland in Dalyer in the famous 3-0 win over Russia in 1974 that set Irish International football on a far more professional path under the stewardship of John Giles . May the sod rest lightly on him .

Der Kaiser , truly majestic . It was said of him that he wasn’t the quickest from A to B but then again he didn’t start start from A .

One of the great lyricists of his generation, lived the life of a rock star and paid a heavy price but hey what a life ! May the sod rest gently on him .

Interesting discussion on our WhatsApp Group comparing the disciplinary issues in the football and Rugby World Cups . 7 red cards in the Rugby WC in 48 games versus 4 in 64 games in the Football WC . The consensus is that World Rugby’s worst fear has come true as the majority if not all of the...

Indeed, I’m aware that you are comparing the two sports ! With all due respect you are more than entitled to speak your mind .

Fair play to you , you say you cannot compare rugby to Football and immediately proceed to do so ! The football World Cup final featured two well matched teams In Argentina and France who went on to produce a game for the ages viewed by 1.5 billion featuring a level of skill by both teams as...

I have seen the Saturday games as myself and my friends have gone to and left the pub earlier to avoid crowds . If last nights game was the apex of the Rugby Union game then the sport is truly in trouble , perhaps the worst game between top teams in the tournament- ferociously competitive with...

Waterford had huge Manchester United connections back in the day , Charlton , Herd , Tommy Jackson and Shay Brennan . The latter being our player manager who also scored the first competitive goals for United post the Munich disaster. Tommy Jackson was our player manager when we won the Cup in...

A wonderful player and a great humanitarian who gave so much to victims of conflict through his foundation. Fondly remembered in Waterford where he played for and against the Blues , most memorably in the European Cup in 1968/69 - still the record attendance at an inter club game in Ireland. May...

You never know , the only time we really disappointed was at Euro 2012 . Personally I’d love to see us qualify, following Ireland abroad has always been a great experience and money well spent. Poland 2012 was disastrous on the pitch but a great experience culturally and gastronomically! If...

The position about a possible play off position is not as simple as stated above . We are also dependant on other results going our way such as Albania or Slovakia failing to qualify.

Well if Major League Baseball can get away with a “ World “ series perhaps you’re on to something!

And now tonight their sporting aspirations turned all black , time perhaps to approach a manager who can plot his way to a final . I believe Eddie Jones could be available soon !

Remember it like yesterday. Waterford 2 nil down with 10 men and 10 minutes remaining scored 3 late goals to win the League Title. Dave Bacuzzi had led Hibs on a lap of honour PRIOR to kick off !

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset J . D. Souther - You’re only lonely Jackson Browne -Late for the sky Marc Bolan - Hot love Dr. Feelgood - National Stadium; , 60 minutes of brilliance

Fair enough . I’ll stick with the true World game .

Only 8 teams qualified for the Rugby World Cup the rest pre qualified unlike the football World Cup where everybody bar the hosts have to qualify. I actually picked those the examples I quoted as I was at those games having attended the three World Cups & the three European Championships that...

No comparison to the nail biting tension of rugby - nonsense, you obviously weren’t behind the goal in stuttgart when we beat England or in the stand in Giants Stadium when we beat Italy and then the penalties in Genoa - I certainly held my breath ! You never see sides humiliated on a regular...

Pretty dour on Saturday night with even the usually majestic Manchester City shackled by a richly deserved sending off . Match of the day 2 last night showed the beautiful game in its best light Arsenal - Spurs , Liverpool- West Ham & Brighton - Bournemouth featured a level of skill rarely seen...

And getting someone else from the private sector to carry out such a raid at an ungodly hour - good thinking .
