On a sticky July morning in a village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, a coin was flicked into the air.

Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW Eamon had arrived unexpectedly, complete with suitcase and no media pass. His lift had gone and we were his only ticket out of town – on ‘Le Tour’ you’ve got to stay ahead of the race.

Damien Duff is at an age where birthdays don’t count as much as they used to. Even so, he’s entitled to raise a glass on Sunday when he turns 47 as Shelbourne sit top of the league. It’s where they finished last November and where they continue to be into March, ahead of Monday’s trip to Galway United. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW While it’s still early days, improbably, Shels are the only Dublin team in the top half of an intriguing Premier Division table.

Stephen Kenny has labelled Ian Harte ‘an empty vessel’ and claimed an ‘attack’ on him by the former Leeds United and Ireland full-back is ‘personal’. Harte’s comments this week in a betting column that Kenny was ‘a good League of Ireland manager’ and had ‘found his level’ with St Patrick’s Athletic clearly touched a nerve with the former Ireland boss.

Jack Charlton fished inside a pocket and took out an empty cigarette packet. He carefully spread it out and looked at the notes he’d scribbled down. Around him, the Irish players waited for words of wisdom from their manager. It was June 1993 and Ireland were about to play back-to-back World Cup qualifiers at home to Latvia and Lithuania. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW Charlton had been on a spying mission, rare enough for him, but one he felt necessary.

The events at Tallaght Stadium on Friday night were akin to a snapshot of Megan Campbell’s Republic of Ireland career.

Hannah Dingley’s departure as Head of Women’s Football is FAI’s third high profile ‘exit’ in 13 months after Jonathan Hill (CEO) and Marc Canham (CFO). Dingley served barely a year. It’s not a good look. Irish football needs guardians committed to ‘the long game.’
