@tim-stillman.bsky.social Hi Tim, I'm also a subscriber to the theory about teams with strikers that get the bulk of the goals. Gary Lineker's 42-goal season at Everton was when they finished second in the league and the cup, winning the league the seasons either side

Ger Fitzgerald - in his own words 1990 Munster final a stand-out memories for Rebels and Magpies star

I was lucky enough to have Ger Fitzgerald as a contributor to Cork Hurling: Game of My Life, where he chose the 1990 Munster final as the match that stuck with him

A parallel of sorts with Liège in 1993 is that that came with Wright out and after four straight 0-0s in the league!

Will Labour really go in with FF/FG, having seen what happened the Greens? Some people would say that that would be Bacik crazy

It just seems one of those staples that they always ask.

Tomorrow, we'll surely hear one of those always cited by a friend of mine (a fellow Mayoman), "The people have spoken - we're just not sure what they've said yet."

Asking, "Are we seeing the end of civil-war politics?" doesn't really carry the same weight after four years of FF/FG coalition and four years before that of supply and confidence

The life cycle of the battle for the Ireland out-half position

β€œThe guy we have is too good, we’re goosed when he retires”

β€œThere’s a battle for the spot, the uncertainty is unhelpful”

β€œWait - what if we play one at 10 and one at 12, go with a second playmaker?”

It's quite bizarre. Not hard to grasp that, the more luck is involved, the less it can be hailed

Figo against England at Euro 2000 a prime example - some people went so far as to suggest he played for the deflection
