Has he lost his marbles? Chelsea and Man City aren't big clubs. They're mid-ranking clubs with billionaire owners. They've been purchasing trophies rather than winning them. It's the least impressive way to acquire silverware.

FFP is a good idea. It should stop the trophy purchasing of recent years and will protect clubs in the long term. After all, if Abramivich was to go under a bus how would Chelsea survive?

Buck is effectively saying that Financial Doping is the way forward. But, as the name suggests, it's just a form of cheating.

Michael O'Neill is well off target with those comments.

People in Northern Ireland are entitled to both Irish and British citizenship and those who consider themselves to be Irish will inevitably want to play for the Irish international team as opposed to the Northern Ireland team which identifies as British. It doesn't take a lot of working out. And I doubt if the FAI cares one iota about the religion of their players. All they'll want to know is whether the player is entitled to Irish citizenship or not.

The writers of this show seemed to lose the plot back in the late eighties.....and they've never found it again since.

A truly remarkable man.

My Name is Emily was a great achievement. He wrote and directed it. And he chose his actors perfectly.

RIP.

What a brilliant broadcaster. I've been listening to him all my life and back in the days when Ireland's away international games were only broadcast on radio he made the listener feel as if he was in the stadium.

Different class, indeed.

RIP, Jimmy.

This is a soap opera that presents utter misery as entertainment.

It's always been like that, of course, but these days the plots are so ridiculous that it makes Dallas look plausible. How many disasters have befallen the miserable folk of Albert Square in the last couple of months? Every second episode seems to be full of ambulances.

Maybe, instead of killing off some of the characters, they should just kill off the entire show.....

Is this article serious?

They need to sort things out and they've turned to Brian Cowen???? The same Brian Cowen who was so inept as Taoiseach he almost made Bertie Ahern look competent? The same Brian Cowen who was so unsuccessful as leader of Fianna Fail that he almost makes Micheal MArtin look like he knows what he's doing??

That guy??

Offaly hurling may never recover from this.....

Poor Liam. It must annoy the hell out of him that the only songs anybody ever wants to hear him sing were written by Noel back in the mid nineties.

I love the way the article suggests that Mourinho is trying to guide United to their second major trophy of the season.

It would be more accurate to say that they're attempting to win their second MINOR trophy of the season.

Meanwhile their league position of sixth just shows that Mourinho has taken United backwards since Van Gaal left.
