World Cup Ads: Hit or Miss?
A week to go to the World Cup and all our media is overflowing with relating themselves with the biggest tournament in football by all means possible – overflowing to an extent that they’re touching the boundary lines of spam. Big brands, TV channels and everything in between are spending like there is no tomorrow,…
World Cup Breakout Players
Though only a small sample-size, the World Cup can be career-altering. Franck Ribery was a surprise inclusion to the French squad in 2006. A few great performances for France later, he was one of the biggest stars in football and the presumptive replacement for the legendary Zinedine Zidane. Metz were happy to let him leave…
Football Eye Candy
With the World Cup just 20 odd days away we thought to ourselves what could we offer to our loyal community to pass the time until the kick off (twiddling your thumbs and having a pint down the local will only keep you busy for a limited period of time). And then it came to…

10 Ways to Meet Football Players
As a young star-struck kid, like most of my peers, my unswerving ambition was to meet some of my heroes (all footballers needless to say), get an autograph… a photograph even, and become the envy of my football crazy mates. It never actually happened though! My being in Dublin and my heroes hanging-out in Manchester…
Five Reasons why Football is better than Formula One
Where I come from, there tends to be two kinds of boys. Car boys and football boys. You can like both of course, but essentially you know at some point you are going to have to choose. Are you a Top Gear guy or a Match of the Day man? It may be a sociological…
10 Reasons why Football is better than Cricket
You might not know it as you zip up your coat to brave the rain and the wind, but summer is here in England. And that means one thing. Cricket. The Ashes are in full (reverse) swing at the moment, and the feelgood factor is pretty high following England’s triumph at Lords. I have to…
