Whelan on Glasgow landmark and burning Irish ambitions

3 days ago | rte.ie | Anthony Pyne

Emily Whelan's Glasgow City journey reached a new landmark recently. The Republic of Ireland attacker made her 100th appearance for the Scottish outfit, almost three years after moving north from Birmingham City. It's been a really positive switch for the 22-year-old, who penned a fresh three-year deal last January that will see her stay in Glasgow until at least 2028.
Ireland boss Ward baffled by 'ludicrous' skorts fallout

3 days ago | rte.ie | Anthony Pyne

Republic of Ireland women's boss Carla Ward has described the skorts/shorts camogie fallout as "absolutely ludicrous", and said it's symptomatic of "an old mentality towards women". Ward names her squad next week for the Nations League clashes away to Turkey and at home to Slovenia, which will be played at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the home of Cork GAA. Last Saturday's Munster senior camogie final between Cork and Waterford was deferred after both teams confirmed their intention to wear shorts.

Another leader gone as sense of transition deepens

2 weeks ago | rte.ie | Anthony Pyne

All in all it's just another brick in the wall. But Louise Quinn often felt like more than that to the Republic of Ireland: she was the grout, the grit and adhesive that held that wall together as historic highs were scaled. Diane Caldwell, Niamh Fahey and Julie-Ann Russell all walked away from the international stage over the winter. Quinn's decision to follow suit is a real blow, deepening the sense that Carla Ward is leading this side through a period of significant transition.
From ballboy to talisman, Odubeko makes Tallaght return

3 weeks ago | rte.ie | Anthony Pyne

Things will come full circle for Shelbourne striker Mipo Odubeko on Friday night. As a child growing up in Jobstown, he would sometimes ramble down to Tallaght Stadium and plead at the gates to be ball boy for Shamrock Rovers games. Occasionally he'd get the nod. These were the days when Gary Twigg was banging in goals for the Hoops. The prolific Scotsman made a big impression on a young Mipo; now the 22-year-old is aiming to upset the same supporters he once walked among in Dublin 24.
Campbell on Hughton, Duff and football's 'game-changer'

3 weeks ago | rte.ie | Anthony Pyne

Sol Campbell, a wardrobe of a man, glides into one of the meeting rooms in the Dublin's Westbury Hotel, cheerful and chilled. He's over for Heineken 0.0's 'To The Sports That Bring Us Together' campaign, and will soon nip down to the River Bar beside O'Connell Bridge to watch Arsenal take on Real Madrid with a room full of Gunners supporters. Campbell takes up someone's offer of a cappuccino.

'I'll make no bones about it, it's a big job'

1 month ago | rte.ie | Anthony Pyne

Carla Ward admitted she's facing "a bigger job" than she anticipated with the Republic of Ireland but remains confident they are moving in the right direction after Tuesday night's 2-1 Nations League win against Greece. Amber Barrett and Anna Patten goals had the Girls in Green cruising until Veatriki Sarri's well-taken effort set up an anxious climax. Ireland saw it out, but they remain a work in progress.
