Tottenham’s defensive mistakes are a ‘little bit of our history’ – Mourinho

Posted on June 22, 2022December 31, 2024 by mobanmarket

TOTTENHAM BOSS JOSE Mourinho said his team are guilty of repeating the same mistakes after they drew 2-2 with relegation-threatened Norwich.

Spurs fell behind twice to the Canaries at Carrow Road when first Mario Vrancic and later a Serge Aurier own-goal had them facing defeat.

Goals from Christian Eriksen and a Harry Kane penalty rescued a point for the visitors, who are now two points off fourth-place Chelsea in the race for the Champions League.

But this will feel like two points dropped against a team who are now rooted to the bottom of the league and six points from safety.

“I think the same defensive mistakes we made in the first half, we made in the second half. This is being a little bit of our history,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.

“We started very, very well and had three or four big chances at the beginning of the first half and conceded two very bad goals. Our defensive mistakes are match after match.

“I have lots of work to do but it has been difficult because I always say you have to try and hide your fragilities. We have to improve defensively because there are too many individual mistakes.

“That’s very frustrating because we play well and cannot be more offensive than we were in the second half. Norwich defended with their souls and their lives.”

Eriksen’s goal was a particular bright spot for Spurs, the Denmark international turning a stunning free-kick past Tim Krul to remind supporters of what he is capable of.

Eriksen has been lacking form since a touted summer move away from the club failed to materialise in the summer. And with the January transfer window set to open next week, talk has re-emerged of the possibility of Eriksen moving on, with the player holding out on a possible bid from Real Madrid.

“I don’t want to speak about it,” Mourinho said.

“We are so open with one another. We keep it to ourselves. Obviously I share it with my boss. But it’s just between us.

“The only thing I can say is he is trying to help the team and I am happy with his man-of-the-match [performance].”

Lukaku brace ends San Paolo famine and sends Inter back top

ROMELU LUKAKU SCORED a double as Inter comfortably beat Napoli 3-1 for their first Serie A win at the San Paolo in just over 22 years.

Inter were on Monday briefly replaced at the top of the league by Juventus, who downed Cagliari 4-0, but regained their spot at the summit with an impressive triumph.

Lukaku struck twice in the first half, the second coming thanks to a blunder from Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret, before Arkadiusz Milik halved the deficit in the 39th minute.

Lautaro Martinez made sure of the result in the second half, with the victory Antonio Conte’s 100th as a coach in Serie A.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo was punished for an unfortunate slip in the 14th minute, as Lukaku latched onto the loose ball and raced forward to fire in off the left post.

Meret did well to deny Matias Vecino and Martinez but he undid his good work in the 33rd minute when he diverted Lukaku’s powerful drive from 18 yards between his own legs and in.

Napoli stayed positive and, after Samir Handanovic just about kept out Lorenzo Insigne, Jose Callejon squared Piotr Zielinski’s diagonal delivery into the six-yard box for Milik to tap home before the break.

The tempo dropped off in the second half but Inter again made Napoli pay for an error. Kostas Manolas was unable to clear Vecino’s right-wing delivery and instead teed up Martinez to stab home with 62 minutes played.

Tempers flared when Fabian Ruiz forcefully kicked the ball into the Inter dugout, with Sebastiano Esposito and Antonio Conte going into the book for their reactions.

Insigne clipped the crossbar with a 20-yard free-kick as Napoli proved unable to spark a comeback.

Martinez almost doubled his tally in stoppage time but, after rounding Meret, was dispossessed by Di Lorenzo, who looked fortunate not to concede a penalty for his challenge.

What does it mean? Conte brings up his ton

Conte’s first win as a Serie A coach came in October 2009 while in charge of Atalanta and he reached 100 victories in 145 matches. That is the quickest of any boss to have made their debut in the division from 1994-95 onwards. He will hope to keep up the impressive pace and lead Inter to their first Scudetto since 2010.

Lukaku looking sharp

Lukaku has been prolific away from home this season and now has 10 goals in his nine appearances on the road. He was a threat from the off and thoroughly deserved his brace.

A demerit for Napoli’s keeper

After making decent saves from Vecino and Martinez, Meret committed a howler when he let Lukaku’s stinging shot squirm through him to hand Inter a 2-0 lead.

What’s next?

Inter will be without Milan Skriniar after he was shown a fifth yellow card of the season when they entertain Atalanta at San Siro on Saturday, while Napoli head to Lazio the same day.

‘Not one to half-arse anything’ – 2017 All-Star and Aussie Rules ace opts out of Mayo set-up

Posted on June 21, 2022December 19, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:wordvice评价

THE MAYO LADIES footballers will be without Aussie Rules star and 2017 All-Star midfielder Aileen Gilroy for the 2021 season.

New manager Michael Moyles confirmed that the North Melbourne ace had opted out of the squad while on a call with the media this evening.

28-year-old Gilroy has excelled in the Australian Football League Women’s [AFLW] over the past two seasons and has been touted as “one of the most exciting Irish talents” over there.

A former underage soccer international with Ireland, the Killala native missed most of the 2019 ladies football season with a devastating cruciate injury, before announcing her comeback with a stellar debut season Down Under.

She returned to line out in the Green and Red’s midfield last autumn, but has decided against it this time around.

“Aileen hasn’t committed this year,” Moyles, who oversees his first competitive game at the helm as his side welcome Galway to MacHale Park in next Saturday’s Division 1 league opener.

“She can’t commit to what’s needed for inter-county, really — and with a short turnaround year. We’ve been onto Aileen over the course she was in Australia. We’ve had this discussion over numerous times, we gave her ample opportunity to think about it even when she got home from Ireland and she did.

“It was something she struggled with for the last couple of years so it was coming. She’s living in Wexford, she found it difficult coming back from Australia to commit. And that’s what you find all over the country in men’s and women’s, sometimes it doesn’t fit well for the year that’s in it, and it doesn’t this year with her.

“We tried to accommodate it as best as we can but she made a decision that she couldn’t commit and that’s just it. That’s one player, we have 200 other players that may be able to fill that gap in Mayo that we haven’t come across yet.”

“Myself and Aileen have been friends for a long time before football and I know she would have loved to do it but if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out,” Moyles added.

“Aileen’s not one to half-arse anything. The last year or two, she’s struggled with it so she needs to take a year to get things around her. And that’s fine, no problem.”

The other current Mayo players who lined out in the AFLW are on board for the season ahead — Niamh and Grace Kelly, and Sarah Rowe, though the latter two are currently injured.

“Grace is carrying a small bit of a knock so we’re not sure about the Galway game,” former Mayo player and club All-Ireland winner Moyles noted. “It might be easing her into it. Niamh is fully back. Sarah has a shoulder issue that may rule her out of a few games, it’s being monitored all the time.”

The42 understands that Rowe is staying put in Australia to rehabilitate for now, so may be unavailable for a few weeks.

Rachel Kearns, meanwhile, plans to balance two codes for the coming months, having starred with Galway WFC in her first season back in the Women’s National League [WNL] of late.

Kearns was named Player of the Month for her stunning exploits recently, and Moyles is pleased to facilitate her status as a dual Gaelic and soccer player.

“Rachel had this set up Galway before we became her management team,” he explained.

“When we had the discussion, we didn’t know if football was going to happen or not with the GAA, but the soccer definitely was. Rachel wanted to give it a go and I didn’t see an issue with that, especially since she had talked to the Galway United manager before we had actually even come in.

“She’s played very well. She’s been carrying an ankle injury the last week or two, unfortunately. But she’s fully committed to Mayo, she’s been at all our sessions so far and she’s doing her rehab with us, which we’re delighted with.

“I’m delighted to see Rachel doing well because sometimes players need that outlet of going to something else and just enjoying playing football again, she definitely has that. She’s a very important player for us, and we’re delighted to have her on board.”

He’s also pleased to have the Carnacon contingent back involved, having previously said in media interviews that his tenure brings a “clean slate” after the mass player walkout in 2018.

In the first summer of his predecessor, Peter Leahy’s three-year term, 12 players — eight of those from Carnacon — exited the set-up, originally citing “player welfare issues” as the reason for their departure. A lengthy saga and ugly back-and-forth ensued, and no departed players represented Mayo under Leahy’s watch afterwards.

2016 All-Star midfielder and Carnacon great Fiona McHale, who was vice-captain at the time of the walkout, is one back on board, with all returning with the right attitude.

“To be fair to Fiona and the girls coming in, it took the girls coming in but it also took the girls that were there. There’s a lot of undercurrents going on there but everybody’s just focused on Mayo, which is brilliant. The transition has been fairly smooth.

“There’s been no great speeches or people coming in to make sure everything is alright, the girls have just focused on what they’re there for; that’s for Mayo and that’s for football. They’ve been brilliant; both girls that have come in and girls that have been there.

“We have leaders that have been there for the last three years that have carried the can, we have leaders coming in that want to help out. It’s just about Mayo, nothing else. There’s no personalities involved and we’re lucky enough to have those eight, nine, 10 great leaders there and we have young girls listening to those great leaders. It can only enhance Mayo ladies football.”

Ireland striker Jarrett earns Brighton move

Posted on June 20, 2022October 22, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:home office

IRELAND WOMEN’S INTERNATIONAL Rianna Jarrett has agreed a move to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 25-year-old, who won Women’s National League (WNL) Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019, leaves Wexford Youths to head to England’s top flight — the Women’s Super League (WSL) — on an initial six-month deal.

Jarrett is one of the country’s most talented footballers, but had to work her way back from three Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries before the age of 21 to shine for both club and country.

The striker won the treble with Youths in 2018 — scoring 27 times along the way despite fracturing a bone in her foot — and the Wexford native has become an important member of Ireland squad in recent times.

A move to full-time football is the natural next step in her development. She links up with international team-mate Megan Connolly at Albion, who are currently ninth in the league table after 13 matches.

“It is great news that we have managed to bring Rianna to the club, as she is someone who will bolster our forward options,” said Brighton manager Hope Powell.

“We are all very much looking forward to seeing how she progresses in the months ahead, and cannot wait to start working with her.”

‘Last week was terrible…a bit of spirit there today’ – A Clare setback but more promise in defeat

Posted on June 16, 2022March 6, 2025 by mobanmarket

Click:chinese lantern film prop

IT LOOKED LIKE a day to lift the pressure and tension that hangs over Clare hurling circles.

A winter of sparring over issues off the pitch concerning the health of the game in the county provided the background to the commencement of the 2021 season.

As starting points go, last Sunday in Corrigan Park in Belfast was not desirable. The second day out, and first on home soil, arrived yesterday when Wexford landed in town.

And for the bones of an hour it was the type of response Brian Lohan would have asked for all week. Clare set the tone early as they rattled over the first three points of the game. They were in front by five at the break and pushed on to be eight clear at various stages in the second half.

The last time was in the 60th minute, teenage debutant Shane Meehan wriggling clear of the defence and despite seemingly being off-balance, he managed to loft over a brilliant point. To go from that position to an eventual one-point loss was not easy to digest.

If it was heartening to lead 1-19 to 0-14 after the red card shown to defender Liam Corry moments previously, it was the last time Clare would feel as comfortable. Wexford exploited the advantage of an extra man to devastating effect as they fired 2-4 without reply and even when a draw looked on for Clare again, they were caught by Rory O’Connor’s winner.

“Disappointed with how we finished the game,” admitted Lohan as he gathered his thoughts after.

“Very positive for 63, 64 minutes but certainly the last ten minutes was poor. We looked a bit open, a possession team like that, once they get possession it’s very hard to get it off them and then they had the extra space in our defence in getting those goals.”

If there was solace for Clare, it lay in the fact that the late collapse could be traced to the setback of the dismissal and that there were a bunch of positives to take from their earlier form. They played with energy and purpose from the start. Diarmuid Ryan was terrific, particularly in the first half. Cathal Malone popped over some good points. Aron Shanagher was a superb target man, his aerial abilites hurting the Wexford defence as he struck 0-3. John Conlon looked solid at centre-back, showing good defensive instincts to hassle Lee Chin on a few occasions.

And they created what looked a winning platform, despite being shorn of their talisman Tony Kelly who limped off in the 29th minute. His injury is not serious, just a dead leg as Lohan confirmed afterwards, and while Aidan McCarthy had an impressive scoring day with 1-8, it was still a setback for Clare to lose the man who ripped Wexford apart last November with a haul of 1-15.

“Last week was terrible,” said Lohan.

“There was a bit of spirit there, we’ve a good bunch of lads there. We’d prefer to be winning games and the game is all about winning. But it is about trying to strengthen up the panel as well and introduce new guys. We introduced two 19-year-olds last week and the same again this week so look we’ll see how things go.”

That reference to youth was a nod to Cian Galvin and Paddy Donnellan lining out last week, while Mark Rodgers and Meehan made their bows yesterday. In Scariff player Rodgers from the off and The Banner clubman Meehan when drafted in, there were flashes of promise that offered signposts for the future.

But they need experienced stalwarts around them. Lohan is hopeful of having Colm Galvin and Patrick O’Connor back soon but David McInerney ‘did a bit of damage to his quad’ as he suffered a setback last week.

Down the sideline from Lohan at the Ennis venue stood Davy Fitzgerald. The animosity between the pair has been well-documented but there was no interactions to spark flashpoints here.

Fitzgerald was calm and satisfied after, buoyed by the manner in which his team reeled in Clare. They had limped out of the 2020 championship race by seven points to the Banner. This game looked like unfolding along similar lines until that quickfire run of scores, underpinned by goals from Simon Donohoe and Lee Chin, completely changed the outlook. Shifting Rory O’Connor closer to goal was a ploy that worked noticeably as he was superb in the closing passages.

“We shouldn’t have been in that position,” reckoned the Wexford manager.

“We had a lot of bad wides today and I am happy with the fighting mentality. We changed up tactics a small bit but we found a nice bit of room in there. The one thing I would like to think about, even when I was manager of Clare, is that we never give in. We fight to the bitter end.

“That is very important for me. Never ever give in and they didn’t do that today. Clare were fighting hard and their attitude was very good. Obviously, TK (Tony Kelly) going off was a loss to them as well. He’d be a loss to any team.”

Fitzgerald made the valid point that while they outscored Clare 2-5 to 0-2 after Corry’s dismissal until the Matthew O’Hanlon red card put the teams on equal numbers again, earlier during Joe O’Connor’s sin bin it was Wexford who had suffered in losing that period by 1-4 to 0-1 on the scoreboard.

One glaring issue in the game was Wexford’s problems with free-taking. Lee Chin missed four and saw an effort from a ’65 also go wide while Rory O’Connor spurned another really good chance but their manager will be keeping the faith.

“That was Chinners (Lee Chin) first game in five months, or five and a bit, same Aidan Nolan. A lot of them hadn’t played much. Clare popped their frees, we didn’t pop ours. We created the opportunities, I can’t wait to see how many bad wides we had.

“I can’t expect them to be nailing everything, normally Chinner would put those frees over in his sleep and he will be going back on the frees, 100%. I have massive confidence in him and I will put him back on them again.

“But fair play, Rory got one tight angle at the end and he made it count.”

Camogie clubs considering DRA appeal in a bid to see 2020 championship finished

Posted on June 15, 2022December 13, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:

CAMOGIE’S FIXTURE CONTROVERSY could be escalated to the Disputes Resolution Authority, with clubs considering an appeal to force the abandoned 2020 championship to be finished.

The Camogie Association adopted a split-season fixture list for 2021 following a vote last week, with 53% of responding clubs endorsing the option, which in turn lead to the decision not to refix the remaining 2020 club games.

All 35 clubs affected wrote to the Association’s Ard Comhairle ahead of their meeting on Wednesday evening to ask them to reverse the decision, with a number of them now prepared to take further action.

“The 35 clubs of Cumann Camogaiochta na nGael that were still involved in the AIB Club Championship 2020 sought to have the championship completed this year 2021,” a statement issued on Thursday read.

“The Ard Comhairle has cancelled the championship despite the fact there is a window of opportunity to complete it in a three-week period from Monday 7th June to Sunday 27th June, a suggestion which was proposed to the Ard Comhairle.

“A representative group of six of the clubs affected also asked for a meeting with the President and the four Provincial Chairpersons but were refused that request.

“The 35 clubs again wrote to the Ard Comhairle before a meeting of the Ard Comhairle on Wednesday 19 May asking it to reverse its decision to cancel the championships. It appears that the Ard Comhairle has decided not to reverse its decision.

“While we understand and acknowledge that this past year has posed unprecedented difficulties for the Association and for those charged with administering its affairs, the clubs have proposed a reasonable alternative which would allow the championships to be played.

“However, following the decision of the Ard Comhairle of Cumann Camogaiochta na nGael not to complete the Club Championship 2020, a number of clubs affected have been left with no option other than to refer the decision to the Dispute Resolutions Authority in an effort to resolve the issue.

“The clubs are the heart of our sport and we want the club players to have the opportunity to play at the highest level available to them.”

Limerick finish with 13 men as Waterford end losing streak against Treaty

Posted on June 15, 2022October 21, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:cnc router cutting machine
Waterford 1-22
Limerick 0-21

Tomás McCarthy reports from Walsh Park

A JACK FAGAN goal fired Waterford to their first win over Limerick in five years this afternoon, ending a losing streak of six matches against the Shannonsiders dating back to 2016.

The All Ireland champions finished with thirteen men, as Seamus Flanagan received a straight red card on 28 minutes for a clash with Conor Gleeson off the ball. Wing back Kyle Hayes also got his marching orders six minutes into injury time when a 26-man row erupted in front of the Waterford bench.

The result means John Kiely’s men are still without a win in Division 1A.

Déise captain Conor Prunty led from the back in a man of the match display as he got up close and personal with Aaron Gillane and made two goal-saving interventions. Calum Lyons struck three points from play while super-sub Patrick Curran also hit three to clinch victory.

In a repeat of the 2020 Munster and All-Ireland finals, Limerick lined out minus the suspended Diarmaid Byrnes and 2020 Hurler of the Year Gearoid Hegarty.

The three Bennett brothers from Ballysaggart started together in the league for the first time for Waterford, while 2016 Hurler of the Year Austin Gleeson took up position at centre-back.

Limerick led 0-6 to 0-2 at the first water break. Aaron GIllane hit three placed balls with Seamus Flanagan, Cian Lynch and Tom Morrissey also on target.

Kieran Bennett blasted over in the sixth minute for the home side. Nicky Quaid batted Calum Lyons’ shot away for a 65 that Stephen Bennett converted. Captain Declan Hannon stretched the lead to five with a long range effort.

After shooting two points, Limerick full forward Flanagan was sent off on a straight red on for an off the ball incident with Gleeson.

Despite their numerical disadvantage, the Shannonsiders stayed five ahead at the break (0-13 to 0-8). Gillane completed the half with six to his credit including a booming injury time effort from his own 45.

Quaid saved from Dessie Hutchinson at the start of the second period as Stephen Bennett and Iarlaith Daly closed the gap to two (0-13 to 0-11). Bennett missed two other dead balls.

Gillane popped over a free to break the home momentum. Bennett then struck the metalwork for Waterford and Limerick midfielder Darragh O’Donovan pointed at the other end.

Jack Prendergast and Bennett left Liam Cahill’s side two adrift at the second water break (0-16 to 0-14).

Fagan then grabbed Bennett’s cross on 54 minutes and finished past Quaid from close range. It was Waterford’s sixth goal chance and they took it. Lyons added his third from play from midfield before he flicked the ball away from Conor Boylan as he advanced goalwards.

Three huge points from super sub Patrick Curran put them two scores to the good. Austin Gleeson opened the shoulders to land a bomb from his own 45.

Billy Nolan saved from Tom Morrissey in the last minute to seal Waterford’s win.

Both sides will now enjoy a two-week break. Limerick host Cork on June 5 while Waterford travel to Galway a day later.

Scorers for Waterford: Stephen Bennett 0-8 (4fs, 3 65s), Jack Fagan 1-0, Patrick Curran, Calum Lyons 0-3 each, Kieran Bennett, Jack Prendergast 0-2 each, Shane Bennett (f), Iarlaith Daly, Jamie Barron, Austin Gleeson 0-1 each.

Scorers for Limerick: Aaron Gillane 0-11 (8fs, 2 65s), Tom Morrissey 0-3 (1f, 1 65), Seamus Flanagan 0-2, Declan Hannon, Kyle Hayes, Cian Lynch, Darragh O’Donovan, Peter Casey 0-1 each.

Ighalo: I don’t care about the critics – Man Utd believe in me

Posted on June 13, 2022December 31, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:Solution to the drum problem of high speed printing press

ODION IGHALO insists he does not care about those who doubted his Manchester United credentials after his two goals helped secure an FA Cup quarter-final spot.

The striker was signed on loan until the end of the season on deadline day in January from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.

There was criticism of United’s apparent last-minute scrambling to sign a forward as back-up for Anthony Martial and the injured Marcus Rashford, particularly with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez having been allowed to join Inter in the previous window.

Ighalo has responded to the doubts in style, though, having scored three goals in just two starts for the Red Devils.

After netting on his Old Trafford debut for United in the 5-0 Europa League thrashing of Club Brugge last week, Ighalo scored twice against Derby County on Thursday to secure a 3-0 victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

The 30-year-old is already a popular figure among the fans and insists he is only concerned by the thoughts of supporters, his manager and his United team-mates.

“I’m happy for the goals, first of all,” Ighalo told BT Sport.

“As long as my team-mates believe in me, the boss believes in me, the fans believe in me, I just have to keep going. I don’t care what people say outside.”

United went ahead through Luke Shaw’s fortuitous volley, which bounced off the turf and seemed to clip team-mate Jesse Lingard before looping over goalkeeper Kelle Roos.

The full-back had only scored once before for the club and he is not prepared to allow Lingard to take this goal away from him.

“I’m claiming it! No chance – he can’t claim that!” Shaw said. “I think there was too much spin because I didn’t hit it correctly, but he can’t claim that.

“I’m very happy. Most important was the win and another clean sheet for the boys. Hopefully, there are more goals from me to come.”

United have now gone nine matches without defeat across all competitions and kept clean sheets in seven of those, and Shaw says they go into Sunday’s derby with Manchester City in a positive mood.

“We’re in a very confident period at the moment with results and keeping shut at the back,” he said. ”We’re very confident. It’s a massive game Sunday and we’re looking forward to that.”

GAA confirm crowds of 500 permitted at National League games in Northern Ireland

Posted on June 13, 2022December 27, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:rims wholesale

Updated May 25th 2021, 9:30 PM

THE GAA HAVE confirmed that starting from this weekend, up to 500 spectators will be allowed to attend Allianz League games which take place in Northern Ireland.

The announcement comes following a further relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in Northern Ireland, announced last week.

As a result there will be small crowds permitted at GAA grounds in Northern Ireland for this weekend’s Allianz League games, however there will be no tickets allocated to supporters from outside the Six Counties in a bid to avoid cross-border travel.

All National League games held in the Six Counties will have 400 tickets available to each host county, which will be sold locally only.

There will also be a further 50 complimentary tickets made available to each team, which will be reserved for non-playing players and county officials.

This Saturday, Armagh host Donegal at the Athletic Grounds in Division 1 of the National Football League, while Tyrone welcome Monaghan to Omagh.

In Division 3, Fermanagh take on Longford in Enniskillen, while Sunday sees the Division 4 meeting of Antrim and Leitrim in Belfast’s Corrigan Park.

All four host counties are set to receive an allocation of tickets, although there will be no fans allowed from Donegal, Monaghan, Longford or Leitrim.

Likewise, there will be no tickets available for Saturday’s all-Ulster meeting of Cavan and Derry in Kingspan Breffni Park of the NHL Division 3 fixture between Monaghan and Armagh on Sunday.

Tickets for Division 1 games in the Nationals Football and National Hurling leagues, as well as Division 2 football games, will be priced at £15.
