‘Cassgate’ affair highlights shades of GAA grey
Donegal's Kevin Cassidy who has put the cat amongst the pidgeons
By Michael McHUGH
It has been fascinating to note the varying and divergent opinions of former GAA players and managers in recent days over the now infamous ‘Cassgate’ affair, which as a one time Kerry bishop remarked of the great Irish union leader Jim Larkin – ‘arrived with the devastating roar of a volcano, without a preliminary wisp of smoke’. Who could have thought that the raised fist of glory after Kevin Cassidy scored the winning point in the All-Ireland quarter final against Kildare, would by mid November, have transformed in some people’s eyes, to that of a rude salute, meriting instant dismissal from the Donegal GAA senior squad?
There has always been an unspoken code, understanding, nod, call it what you wish amongst GAA players and managers that certain things “that happen on the mile, stay on the Mile.”
Not a contract you would see lying on a solicitor’s desk, though.
Some ‘slights’, hurts’, ‘misunderstandings’ and ‘differences of opinion’ were even taken to the grave in earlier GAA generations, often over the most innocuous of reasons or spats.
Ironically the cause of the ‘grudge’ was often protected and veiled with even greater zeal than the third secret of Fatima. Read more
Irish expected to pack out Lansdowne Road
Ireland produced a famous 4-0 victory on Friday night
by Sean Langan
Dublin’s Lansdowne Road is expected to be full to capacity on Tuesday evening as Ireland play host to Estonia in the 2nd leg play off of the 2012 European Championship finals play-off.
A famous 4-0 victory against the Eastern European side in Tallinn on Friday evening had the people of Ireland with finally something to cheer for, after economic austerity measures have catapulted the country back into emigration mode and the dark ages.
The victory was a personal triumph for Italian Giovanni Trappatoni, who has nursed the team from wannabes to 90 minutes from thier first major tournament in a decade and their first European championship finals apperance since 1988.

Michael D Higgins the new President, but Donegal sees different
Michael D Higgins the President elect of Ireland
Michael D Higgins, is the new President elect of Ireland.
The 2011 Irish Presidential election was one that had not been experienced before in terms of the number of candidates, the diversity of the CV’s of the candidates, the way the campaign was conducted and the general mud slinging that was fired from every direction and stuck on so many of the candidates that it was thrown at.
In no particular order David Norris, Mary Davis, Martin McGuinness and Sean Gallagher all suffered in one way or another. Dana even suggested that her campaign car may have been the victim of sabotage.
Emails were circulated of Michael D with a photo of the other candidates, with Higgins depicted as a diminutive leprechaun, comparatively, which in one way summed up the depths that anti Higgins campaigners had to stoop, to get at him. And despite talk of a dodgy knee, it was the former sociology lecturer at NUI Galway, who was the last man standing.
One of the best headlines in one of the papers, this morning after the results was – “Michael D-Day”.
Compared to the national story, it was Sean Gallagher who topped the poll in Donegal south west, while Martin McGuiness topped the poll in Donegal north east and came second in Donegal south west. Michael D topped the poll in Sligo North Leitrim.
International Rules: Ireland take Australia in Oz
Ireland have followed in the footsteps of their rugby players by taking the laurels in the first International Rules Test in Melbourne.
They won on a score of 80 points to 39. The game is a compromise set of rules between Gaelic football in the northern hemisphere and Australian Rules football in the southern hemisphere.
Donegal’s scoring sensation (when he is allowed to play in his natural full forward position) Michael Murphy netted Ireland’s first goal and it will be a tough encounter for the Australians to come back in the second test.
It gives a rare opportunity for players from both codes to represent their country.
