Opening league fixtures are as follows: Leeds (a) Brighton (h) Wolves (a) Villa (h) Liverpool (a) West Ham (h) On paper not the worst, but then you look back at our recent campaigns and suddenly every match is tough. Over the past three seasons, it has taken us 6 or 7 games to pick up our...

I had a quick search on the forum for any threads or conversations about epilepsy and came up empty handed, so thought I might open this one up for anyone impacted by it, or just as a place to share stories. I was only officially diagnosed with epilepsy in 2018. I had always suffered with...

Can anyone recommend a decent pub to watch NFL in city centre? Particularly looking at the weekend of Saturday 13th January. Playoff games at 9.30 and 1am would be televised that night. Preferably somewhere that would actually have audio commentary too...rather than just music blaring etc.

Its probably only a matter of time before this happens here...already trouble brewing in grassroots games. Who would want to be a ref??? And this was the club president who attacked him!

First off, I'm a huge fan of his work. The man is intelligent, creative and funny as fcuk. He is a pioneer for stand up and comedy in general. He is also a family man, who walked away from fame and fortune in 2004/5 at the peak of his career. So definitely an interesting individual. He's had a...

Premier league kicks off next Friday - new boys Shels will be looking to get off to a good start away to Cork, champions Dundalk host Derry and there's a Dublin derby between Bohs and challengers Rovers. The first division will begin the following week, with the farcical situation of Limerick...

Came across a random article that suggests Everton fans drink more than any other premier league fans. It was based on a sample survey of football fans across the UK. So is it true? How much do you drink per week? Do you always booze when watching the blues?

I know some people will argue that this competition is actually detrimental to a league campaign. Particularly given that this season we entered it in July and got our confidence hammered during the group stages. But I for one would always rather be involved in any cup competition - as our...

Been having strange seizures on and off over the past 5 years. I don't lose consciousness and stay completely awake when they happen. It tends to last less than 30 seconds and typically happen in clusters over the space of a few days. Might not happen again for weeks or months. I feel them...

On the train to work this morning and a few tunes from these belters came on shuffle. Two absolutely cracking albums. Hard to choose which is better...

Always love going to see a good stand up. Over the years I've seen Billy Connolly, Jack Dee, Lee Evans, Tommy Tiernan, Eddie Izzard, Ross Noble, Rich Hall, Reginald D Hunter and most recently Sean Lock and David O'Doherty. I tend to prefer the dead pan type or slightly eccentric / off centre...

I was 15 when Paul Rideout nodded home (how did Stuart miss) to beat Utd in the 1995 FA Cup final. Since then it's been nothing short of a Shakespearean tragedy with multiple cases of soiling the bed at every possible cup winning opportunity. Such instances as the Distin backpass, the Wigan...

League of Ireland runners up Dundalk FC confirmed today the 100% takeover by Peak6, a Chicago based group who also have a stake in Bournemouth AFC. They fee paid was not disclosed as yet but represents a first foreign investment in Irish football. Dundalk won the league in three consecutive...

Obviously we're all aware of the bucket loads of cash sloshing about for premier league clubs following the latest bidding war for TV rights. As it stands, each club receives an even share from 50% of television revenue, with the 25% distributed to teams based on merit / final positions and the...

So now that those pesky kids are out of the way, who would you prefer next? Redemption and revenge against Fiorentina or Villarreal? A return to ze Germans? An iron curtain adventure? In Bruges? Home second leg though yeah?

Ok, this is gonna be a rant and a half, so be prepared. I guess this is something that has been bubbling under the surface for quite a while now, and our frustratingly dismal season has been the proverbial cherry on top. Just for the record I have been following football for as long as I can...

With the upcoming trip to Southampton, a fond memory of a last minute equaliser by Marcus Bent comes to mind. I also seem to recall the camera panning to that twitchy scrot faced pug Harry Redknapp, as you could actually see his heart break and face drop even further, if that's even possible...

As part of the transfer deal for Academy player Ben McLoughlin in August 2012, a friendly was agreed with his club Dundalk FC, current League of Ireland champions. As a pre season match for Dundalk, this would have to be played in January or February as the league runs through the summer...
