Historically, Croke Park was viewed as a symbolism of Irish nationalism.Not only did the Gaelic Athletic Association’s Rule 42 prevent ‘foreign’ sports – in reality, the ‘English’ football and rugby – being played in the stadium, but until 1971 anyone who watched or played them could not be a GAA member.The stadium itself was the scene of a brutal reprisal attack in November 1920, when 14 people, including the Tipperary player Michael Hogan, were killed by British forces, and many more were injured.Earlier in the day, Irish Republican Army leader Michael Collins had planned an attack in the south of…
Morning all. Let’s start with some of the Myles Lewis-Skelly drama which kicked off a bit yesterday, but probably didn’t start start yesterday if we look back. Last week there was a story in The Independent from Miguel Delaney who said Manchester United were interested in the player, and were ‘aiming to see whether Arsenal would do business’. Was that because they had some encouragement, or were they looking at our squad and thinking there are a lot of midfielders and someone might be available? Then yesterday, Tom Canton and another Football London reporter said that Chelsea had been ‘offered’…
Stanway’s arrival at Arsenal on a free transfer from Bayern is one of the most high-profile moves of an eye-catching transfer window in the Women’s Super League (WSL).The midfielder enjoyed four trophy-laden years with the German club, and boasts two European Championship winners’ medals with England.A long-established totem in Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses side, Stanway told the Women’s Football Weekly podcast how playing in the Bundesliga has developed her game.”I’ve massively changed as a player and as a person,” she said. “I’ve got more comfortable with myself and I enjoy my own time a lot more.”Munich also gave me the opportunity…
For Sunderland, this is a time of excitement and opportunity. The Black Cats are a whisker away from their second season back in the Premier League, and it will be interesting to see if Regis Le Bris can make it quite as emphatic as last time. The French tactician is aiming to maintain a sense of continuity after finishing seventh last term and thus booking a flight into European competition. He has also acknowledged that the transfer window is proving tricky. Sunderland “have to be really precise” in bringing over the right players to strengthen their squad. But they’ve done…
Contains some strong language.Available for over a yearAde Oladipo, Emily Eubank, and Liam Gough return to give their unfiltered takes on the fight game in another punchy episode of The Punch Perfect Podcast on BBC Sounds! The gang steps straight into ‘The Clinch’ to take on a heated debate rocking modern combat sports. Producer Jay hands over the envelope, starting a strict three-minute timer for the hosts to dissect a contentious statement: “Crossover events do more harm than good for boxing.” Is gimmick matchmaking pulling eyes away from true fighters, or does it bring a much-needed new audience to the…
“Believe you me, that time of 1:53.28 is astonishing,” Jenny Meadows, former British runner and coach to Hodgkinson, told BBC Sport.”I won medals on a global level and I could not even comprehend that a female could run that sort of time.”But athletes have never been closer to breaking it.Werro has twice gone under 1:54 this year, but still more than half a second from Kratochvilova’s record.Olympic champion Hodgkinson broke the 800m indoor record in February, which had stood since 2002, crossing the line in 1:54.87.Then there’s the Netherlands’ Femke Broeders-Bol, still largely an unknown in the 800m after deciding…
