Chapeau to Jane Mangan for calling a special winner in The Irish Daily Mail

An uplifting story.......a reminder of the soul of Irish horse racing. Congrats to the Mangans.

What a week in New Orleans with Rory McIlroy. To win on the PGA TOUR again is a dream but to do it with a great friend is even better. Thanks to Zurich and the people in New Orleans for an amazing week and thanks to everyone for their support. 💚☘️

At last clarity, of sorts from FAIreland ...no ROI head coach until Nations League in September...John O'Shea wanted to return as interim manager for summer games. And an apology to supporters for the confusion. Bizarre and unprecedented. It is 149 days since Sephen Kenny left.

The paper that delivers….always.

Few will lament for Jonathan Hill. As FAI CEO, thats an undistinguished legacy.

Check out The Irish Daily Mail today for more on FAI talks with Roy Keane for vacant ROI job.

John O'Shea keeps it as strong as possible, once again. As interim ROI manager, it's about execution, not experimentation.

ROI 0 Belgium 0 F/T. Better all round, defensively more secure. A rare penalty blip cost a prized scalp. John O’Shea did a very fine job with little time to prepare.

Recall of Robbie Brady a significant talking point in John O’Shea’s ROI XI. Sammie Szmodics makes his debut at 28.

FAI's Marc Canham stresses the need for ROI to get good results to improve ranking, and seeding, for future qualifications. Says new manager/head coach will be expected to oversee strong Nations League campaign, 2026 World Cup and Euro 2028 - 'we want to be at Euro '28' he said.

O'Shea says he's open to being involved in any future ROI set-up regardless of how the games v Belgium-Switzerland go. Says camp will be 'relaxed' with 'drive to win games.'
