ADSL Diary Day 2

Antony Sherlock Athlone 2 Waterford 1 After a good nights rest for the players ( I couldn't sleep a wink) we had a light set piece session at the pitch. Nothing too hectic , basically just a walk through. After some food we had some downtime where the players took great delight in seeing how poor I was at Black Ops on the console. In all truth, I was poison. We had our pre match meal and meeting then headed down for our first game against 3rd seeds Waterford. I know I have the scoreline down...

Falcao Tempted by Monaco’s Millions?

Scott Gaynor Radamel answering my question of how big the cheque they’re offering is.  If Radamel Falcao signs for AS Monaco this summer, the integrity of the game, rather than Atlético Madrid, will be the real loser. Spanish station ‘La Sexta’ ran with a piece this week detailing that Claudio Ranieri’s men had made a move for the Columbian international, and the French paper L’Equipe are also now running the story. Yes, we live in a world where money talks, but this move would...

Brian Moss  Running Out of Patience: Sometimes running can feel like a chore but when you’re injured you really miss it. It gets more and more difficult to drive through any major Irish town and not encounter a group of runners pounding the paths and the nation’s roadways. There have been so many negative aspects of the recession but one positive is the explosion of people who are swapping the steel toe for the gel cushion and getting out there and its time to out myself, I’m one...
