City look to bounce back from disappointing defeat
Champions versus Champions, Cork versus Dublin. The old rivalry that is Cork City FC versus Shamrock Rovers FC will once again be played out this Friday 16 Match at 7.05pm. The Rebel Army go into Friday night’s fixture in Turners Cross with reigning champions Shamrock Rovers on the back of two straight defeats. This is in stark contrast to Shamrock Rovers who have taken maximum points from their opening two fixtures. The Tallaght men come into the game with plenty of confidence having dispatched Monaghan United 3-1 in Tallaght, while [...]
DCU’s power packed bench crush UUJ
DCU: 0-17 UUJ: 1-05 A powerful second half performance from DCU’s star studded side ended UUJ’s chances of reaching the final for the second year running. The O’Byrne Cup winners have an unrivalled strength in depth and they were able to call on the services of inter county stars David Kelly and Michael Murphy to help them turn around their performance in the second half. The first half was evenly contested and a well taken shot by UUJ’s Antoin McFadden gave fellow Donegal start Michael Boyle no chance in the [...]
Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was cleared of tax evasion Wednesday, removing a key barrier to his chances of becoming the next coach of England’s national team, following Fabio Capello’s resignation. Redknapp was found not guilty on two counts of concealing US$295,000 of transfer bonuses in a Monaco bank account while in charge of Portsmouth. In a case that stemmed from a $13 million police inquiry into soccer corruption, former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric also was found not guilty on two counts of cheating the public purse. Mandaric hugged Redknapp as [...]
John Terry stripped of England captaincy
John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy after the FA took action over the Chelsea defender’s upcoming court case. Terry lost the armband for a second time after he was called in front of the FA board to be informed of the decision this morning. Thus far the FA has refused to comment on the situation. FA chairman David Bernstein contacted all members of the 12-strong FA board yesterday, to seek their views after the decision was made that the defender’s court case will not take place until [...]

Paul Scholes returns to Old Trafford
He scores galore, he scores goals… Paul Scholes, he scores goals. Alex Ferguson surprised United fans when he confirmed that Paul Scholes had come out of retirement ahead of the FA Cup tie at Manchester City last Sunday. Apparently Ferguson had not even told his players, so determined was he for the news not to leak out to the press. Upon his return, Ferguson refuted claims that it regressive step for the club. “How can it be regressive? You’re getting a player for nothing who’s been part of the club [...]
Joey Barton Twitter battles..
Controversial English footballer, Joey Barton launched an attack on former Republic of Ireland defender, Matt Holland on Twitter earlier on this week. Following a comment made by Matt Holland on Monday, Barton claimed aimed his Twitter-based attack at Holland and said “If you’re English, you play for England. If you’re English and sh*t you pretend your Irish grandparentage matters to you and play for Ireland”. Despite trying to backpedal the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) captain did not save himself a backlash of thousands of tweets from angry fans. Manchester-born and former [...]
Liverpool won’t be appealing Suarez ban
Liverpool have confirmed to the Football Association they will not contest the eight-match ban handed to Luis Suarez for racially abusing Patrice Evra. Suarez’s suspension begins with immediate effect meaning he will miss tonight’s clash of Liverpool and Premier League leaders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Suarez has scored 9 goals for the reds in 31 league appearances. An independent commission found Suarez guilty of abusing Evra in Liverpool’s game with Manchester United in October and the FA released the findings on New Year’s Eve. A statement on the [...]
Thierry Henry returns to Arsenal
I imagine that Arsene Wenger knew on the first day he saw Thierry Henry back at Arsenal’s training ground that he wanted to re-sign the star. The Frenchman was a Gunners legend after spending eight seasons in North London and still had that special something – the va-va-voom – we associate with Henry, even if his football brain has to compensate for the loss of his biggest asset, his raw pace. The 34-year-old Henry is a different player to the one who terrorised Premier League defenses for eight seasons from [...]
