I’m heading out the door and down the shiny new motorway to the west in a few hours so this’ll have to be a quick one. I’m taking in the Blog Awards bash in Galway city tonight ahead of the match at Castlebar tomorrow, which means that tomorrow’s mileage won’t be as big as it normally is when I do […]
It’s fairly straightforward going through the previews for tomorrow’s NFL clash with Kerry down in Tralee (throw-in 2.30 pm), as everyone is expecting them to win. By everyone, I mean RTÉ and the Irish Times but I’m sure the Indo and the others are all swimming with the tide on this one as well. So is Paddy Power, who remains […]
Just thought you might like to know that, along with a hundred million others (okay, that’s an exaggeration but only a small one – check out the lists for yourself), this humble blog has, once again, been nominated for a gong in the 2010 Irish Blog Awards. My thanks to whichever kind soul it was who put me on their […]
So the apposite outcome it was: I lost out to Kopblog (not just a soccer blog but one devoted to following the many travails of Liverpool FC as well) at the Blog Awards down in Cork earlier tonight. That makes it my 1996, I guess, which means … yes, I know what it means. Only 1997, 2004 and 2006 to […]
TJ kindly sent me an email this morning to let me know that I’ve made it back to the blogging equivalent of Croker on the fourth Sunday in September: I’m now on the shortlist (with four others) in the Sports and Recreation Category for dish ear’s Blog Awards. I’m already practising in front of the mirror to see if I […]
I’m in a self-indulgent mood this morning so indulge me for a few moments, will you? The first reason is that this blog has recently turned two – last Sunday was me birthday, like – and so you can expect me to start kicking and screaming and f-ing and blinding at any minute over the smallest possible incident. Well, more […]
I still have to find a proper home for the scorers’ lists that I keep (rearranging of those tabs up top is still on the to-do list, along with the post-Christmas recycling and a hundred other things) but, in the meantime, here’s the chart for our short and not very successful FBD campaign. Top of the pops, jointly like, were […]
It’s been a long week with plenty going on, so much so that I’ve forgotten to mention another result of interest to me from last Saturday night. While I was down in Portlaoise at the match that evening, the Irish Blog Awards ceremony was on here in Dublin. You might recall that I was short-listed in the Sports and Recreation […]
This humble blog has, apparently, made it all the way to the Irish Blog Awards shortlist in the Sports and Recreation Blog category. If you’re interested, here’s the suspiciously long shortlist. (How can a list comprising eleven entries be described as “short”, by the way? Five or six is short. Danny DeVito is short. Eleven is stretching it a bit, […]
