Training with Ireland and Kelleher a dream for Cork's City's Brann after he almost quit irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/a…

Sunderland should’ve been relegated, based on xG. They’ll be playing in the Europa League next season.

Plenty covered in this chat at Brentford, from his reboot to fatherhood and placing WC playoff devastation in perspective. Caoimhin returns to Anfield on Sunday with the most Prem minutes of any Irish player clocked this season.

I’ll leave this here, if I may, on the question of value for your hard-earned: Saturday’s @ExaminerSport features exclusive @Munsterrugby chief mea culpa interview, @BrentfordFC’s Caoimhin Kelleher interview, Donal Lenihan on @ChampionsCup, Dalo and Hoggie on @MunsterGAA SHC, Eamonn Fitzmaurice on Kerry-Donegal, Tommy Martin on @Arsenal. And too much more.

Two goals in nine mins early in second half have First Division leaders Cork City 2-0 up in Athlone on the hour. Conor Drinan’s worldie before he crossed for Hans Mpongo to head in the second.

The Austrian Federation have confirmed the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz as the venue for our UEFA Nations League clash on Saturday November 14th. #COYBIG

Cannon didn’t get his hat-trick but debutant Jack Moylan did on his debut in 5-0 stroll. He’d a few friends and family among sparse crowd in Murcia and deserved the plaudits.

Tom Cannon, on as an interval substitute, is on a hat-trick after bagging brace in space of 10 mins. Adam Idah and Jack Moylan couldn’t break Grenada’s resistance over frustrating first half.

Summer camps and teen call-ups topical this week. Spoke to the original wonderkid Terry Dixon on 20th anniversary of his rapid elevation. irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/a…

How many fouls can you spot in this pic??

Fourth Rovers player to win the award in last five years after Greg Bolger, Aidan Keena x 2 and Wilson Wareru. Hugely deserved.

Owen Elding was phoned by Heimir Hallgrimsson this morning and asked if 100% committed to Ireland amid reports of England interest. Confirmed he is and though hasn’t received Irish passport, may be called into second squad to be around camp.

18-year-old Jaden Umeh winger of Benfica selected in Ireland squad for training camp in Spain and friendly against Grenada on May 16. Separate squad, with limited duplication, to be picked for games v Qatar (May 28) and Canada (June 4).

Wrote a love letter to snooker and the way things were Great times

@LiveatOriel Missing the point, Gerry.

@JFallonExaminer Deserved to get sent off in Oriel.

Well that puts a dampener on Friday’s occasion in Derry. Deserves not to finish on the Oriel sending off. irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/a…
