SPORT: Euro 2012 – We’re All going On A Summer Holiday
Monday, December 5th, 2011
So you love football, but you’ve decided that rather than just spend a few weeks drinking in pubs and watching Euro 2012 on big TVs, you’d rather go to Poland and/or Ukraine and drink in pubs and watch games on big TVs. Fair enough. But do you know anything about either country? Crime rates? No, neither do I, and to be honest I’m not about to scare anyone out of taking a trip that could be one of the best in their life. But if you are planning to nip over for the tournament, you might need to know a thing or two, and soon, as flights etc. will only jump drastically the closer we come to May 2012.

SPORT: Is now the perfect time to stage the Open in Northern Ireland?
Friday, July 22nd, 2011
Darren Clarke’s magnificent win at the weekend at the Royal St. George course in England has cemented Northern Ireland’s place as the current golfing capital of the world. Three major winners in thirteen months are from the north. Moreover six winners of the last seventeen majors have come from the island of Ireland. Surely the time is right for the Open championship to return to these shores for the first time in over half a century.

OPINION: FIFA – The Only Way is Ethics
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011
What is a crisis? Perhaps it is a time of great difficulty or a period of instability. The definition of what actually constitutes ‘a crisis’ is open to interpretation and often context-dependent. However, what is certain is that the corruption scandal that has hit FIFA has left this all-powerful organisation in the midst of a major crisis.
