Peter O’Mahony made captain. Barry’s Tea out at half time for the lads. Coincidence? I think not.

My grandfather, Owen McCarthy passed away at grand age of 95 this week. He was one of Ireland’s top referees in his day, refereeing the FAI Cup final in 1968 (which he always said was the highlight of his career), along with numerous international and European Cup matches.

Would appreciate if anyone up north or anyone who may have followers up north could RT - my cousin Aidan has been missing since Friday. He was last seen on Clarendon Street in Derry on Friday at 5pm. He’s 5’8, medium build, last seen in jeans & navy jacket

Emmmmmmm... what? Like just... what?? How is that a free kick? How? That’s a baffling one. How has the referee awarded a free kick? Ramblers robbed of a goal.

My Granda Owen McCarthy refereed the 1968 FAI Cup Final when Rovers beat Waterford, and always called it the proudest day of his career. Thanks to John Caulfield guiding City to victory in 2016 I was able to bring to cup to him - he was delighted. Thanks for everything, John.

That time Brendan Grace called Paul and me a pair of wankers. Brilliant.
Later, after he had finished on air, he passed the sports desk on his way out... but then doubled back, stuck his head around the partition and said: "Bye, girls... pair of wankers!"
We giggled like school kids for the rest of the day.

Shocked and terribly, terribly saddened to hear of Pat McAuliffe's passing. Pat was a great friend, and always, always good fun to be around. The press box is going to be a far less interesting place without Pat in it. Thoughts with his family, friends and colleagues. RIP Pat.
