The best thing we shared

Bafetimbi Gomis heard Swansea were interested in signing him and headed straight for his Football Manager game to do some research on the Swans (via The Guardian).

On the record

“I got on with Mark [Anscombe] very well on a personal level. Whether boys had issues with his coaching ability or whether it was little details… the problem senior players in Ireland have got [is] they’re comparing everyone to Joe Schmidt now.”

The Fixture List

Phew, where do we start?

There’s a full raft of Airtricity League fixtures already kicked off around the country.

The Croke Park Classic will take over GAA HQ tomorrow with Penn State v UCF kicking off at 13.30. While that’s going on, Cork and Wexford will replay their All-Ireland camogie semi-final from 14.30 in Walsh Park.

The Premier League season is in full swing with Manchester United’s trip to Burnley the first of seven fixtures in England’s top flight tomorrow. Sunday will bring us Spurs v Liverpool as the highlight.

But we’ll forgive you for not devoting your full attention to all that because it’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final weekend. The replay of Mayo v Kerry will be in Crok… eh, Limerick from 17.00 and on Sunday Donegal take on Dublin in the Jones’ Road area at 15.30.

Showbiz, Baby!
