DJ Carey’s first All-Ireland medal has been sold at auction for an undisclosed fee. The disgraced hurling icon lifted the Liam MacCarthy five times during a glittering career, with the first coming in 1992, when Kilkenny defeated Cork in the final. Carey is currently serving a five-and-a-half year prison sentence for defrauding 22 people out […]

There’s not too many… This is a tricky quiz, but there are not too many names to remember. With the rising standard in the Premier League and Ireland players plying their trade elsewhere, the number of Ireland names in squads in England’s top league has been dwindling. Right now there are 12 players – not […]

Mad stuff going on! It was reported by multiple news outlets yesterday that Derry City were going terminate the contract of James McClean, less than one season after re-joining his boyhood club. The former Ireland international made a heroic return after nearly 15 years in England, but soon his move turned sour, with a number […]

This would be class! Mayo and Kerry are gearing up for a rematch of their epic All-Ireland final. The Green and Red were three-point victors last month, in what was one of the most iconic Gaelic football triumphs we have ever seen, as the county ended 75 years of hurt. It has now been reported […]

Another twist in the tale! Just as we thought we had seen the last of Kobe McDonald on these shores for the time being, one of his Mayo teammates has hinted that he could potentially be back this season.

A pity… There was great excitement in GAA circles yesterday, after a rumour abounded, suggesting that there was a good chance Ireland football legend Séamus Coleman would be making a return to Gaelic football. Former Donegal and St Eunan’s player, John Haran, tweeted that Coleman had been training with his local club Killybegs and that […]

Another banger! The amount of big sport on has gone down significantly over the last few weeks, but our SportsJOE Pub Quiz has not lost its quality in the slightest.

Well there you go! It turned out that Mayo didn’t need any extra help to over the line in Sunday’s All-Ireland final, after 75 years of hurt. However, there was a claim that Mayo made an attempt to convince former player Oisín Mullin to return from Australia, where he has been playing AFL with the […]

Wise moves. There are bittersweet feelings after Mayo’s All-Ireland triumph, not just for supporters of the Green and Red, but GAA fans in general. The game is losing one its great talents in Kobe McDonald, as he departs next month to play in the AFL with St Kilda. In the past, Mayo have lost some […]

Fascinating! Andy Moran is as proud a Ballaghaderreen man as you will find, after growing up in the north Roscommon town, situated just across the border from Mayo. But why did the current Mayo boss, and iconic player for the Green and Red, tog out for one of the Rossies’ fiercest Connacht rivals? The answer […]

He’s on his way to the big bucks! In the end, no wealthy Mayo businessman stepped in to offer Kobe McDonald life-changing amounts of cash to keep the young star from going through with his move to the AFL. The Crossmolina man is heading Down Under with his family next month, to start his career […]

It had to be said…. Not to put a downer on Mayo’s parade, but it must be argued that Darragh Beirne’s 40th-minute goal to put his side four points up against Kerry, was questionable at best. The steps rule in Gaelic football states ‘that a player can carry the ball in their hand for a […]

The prodigal son returns! Joe Schmidt will be returning to Irish rugby for the first time since stepping down as head coach of Ireland after the 2019 World Cup.

Great genes! Such was the fanfare around Kobe McDonald this season and his upcoming move to Australia to play AFL, fans could be forgiven to not realise that one of his Mayo teammates is also his half-brother. Both McDonald and Jordan Flynn were named on the Sunday Game’s Team of the Year, and they both […]

This was brilliant! One of the best takeaways from Mayo’s All-Ireland win has been the good will shown by rival counties towards the long-suffering Green and Red. Kerry and their supporters have also been extremely gracious in defeat, and their response to the loss was typified by the actions of Ambrose O’Donovan and Tim Moynihan […]

Incredible stuff! Since their last All-Ireland title before the weekend, back in 1951, Mayo have lost 11 finals and 13 semi-finals, while there were also the games they drew that resulted in replays. Many of the older generation who witnessed the scenes in 1951 probably thought that they would never live to see another title […]

Sensational stuff! The All-Ireland finals, in both football and hurling, always bring new viewers to the GAA; amazed by the two phenomenal sports they are witnessing for the the first time. This year was a little different, however, with Mayo’s win reaching further afield, due to the weight of history behind the victory and the […]

Brilliant from Andy Moran! It was written in the stars for Mayo yesterday, so much so that even a huge jersey error worked out in their favour, as boss Andy Moran explained. During the second half of their All-Ireland final win against Kerry, Mayo substitute Rory Brickenden was forced to change jerseys in the 55th […]

Not a great look…. Considering all the chat talking down Mayo during the week, from the media and from fans, the Green and Red had more than enough ammo to get them fired up for the All-Ireland final. But a certain Kerry player gave them even more fuel before kick-off, when he tried to employ […]

A victory heard all over the world! Most neutrals were cheering on Mayo in today’s All-Ireland. Not as a slight on Kerry, but for what it meant for the Green and Red, after 75 years of heartache. Joe Biden famously visited Ireland back in 2023, and made a speech in his ancestral home of Mayo, […]

Simply sensational! One of the great joys in sport is finding local commentary done by proper fans of the team involved, and the Mayo men on Midwest radio did not disappoint.

Beautiful. Mayo boss Andy Moran spoke brilliantly following his side’s All-Ireland final win against Kerry earlier today. Despite losses to Roscommon in the Connacht SFC and then to Tyrone in the All-Ireland series, Moran stuck to his guns, and it paid off big time in the final, with their shackles-off style winning out. After the […]

It was a huge score! Everyone and their dog had Kerry to take home their 40th All-Ireland title against Mayo this afternoon. And they looked to be heading for an easy win, when they went 1-05 to 0-01 in front after just 16 minutes. But from then on, it was the Green and Red who […]

Well played! Mayo’s in-form forward line showed up once again in the All-Ireland final, with 11 points scored between Darragh Beirne, Ryan O’Donoghue and Kobe McDonald. The latter didn’t have his best game of the championship, scoring 0-3, but was calm and collected on the ball when it mattered most. Taking home the Sam Maguire […]

Well that clears it up… There has been plenty of speculation in recent days over the future of Pádraic Joyce as manager of the Galway footballers.

Poor winners… It was widely agreed that Ireland put in a sub-par performance in their loss to the All Blacks last weekend, in a showing that was littered with unforced errors.

Well deserved. It was somewhat of an anti-climatic final yesterday, but the purists would have been satisfied after being treated to a hurling masterclass from Limerick. They took a while to get into their stride this season, but showed why they are considered by some to be the greatest team of all-time, with their 1-29 […]

This does not make for pretty reading…. It was a bridge too far this afternoon for a young Galway side as they were heavily beaten by all-time performance from an all-time Limerick side.

This was class! It was total domination from Limerick today, as they swatted aside Galway in the All-Ireland SHC final at Croke Park by 1-29 to 1-18. Central to this was their talismanic captain Cian Lynch who dominated the midfield, and chipped in with two stunning points. He gave the traditional winners’ speech up the […]
