Norwich celebrated their fantastic season with an open-top bus …

Born and raised in Wicklow and just breaking into the UCD senior team, in 2017 Simon Power couldn’t have dreamed of the situation he’d be in just two years down the line.  “It’s mental really,” began Power. “Me of all people, just a normal lad, an Irish born lad, born and raised in Wicklow to be playing football in Holland …

It was another absolutely mental day in the Championship. Promotion chasers Norwich were again involved in a crazy game which saw them lose to fellow contenders Derby County as they failed to close the gap on leaders Leeds United who also suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Hull City. The Canaries were involved in a dramatic game on …

5 Keepers Who Could Fill Courtois' Boots

Norwich City said goodbye to a legend last weekend, as Wes Hoolahan bowed out after a decade at Carrow Road.​ ​

This is what the Chelsea team would look like if the Blues were a bit smarter in the transfer market.

Irish teenager Adam Idah has hit a new milestone in his Norwich progress with a quickfire hat-trick in Tuesday night’s FA Youth Cup clash with Barnsley. The former College Corinthians forward, who only arrived at Carrow Road in the summer, has been impressing for club and country in recent months but arguably took it to a new level in the …

Wes Hoolahan came off the bench late on in Norwich’s first game of the new season and came up with a piece of sheer genius to help grab a point for The Canaries. Having replaced Harrison Reed in the eightieth minute, the Irishman made an immediate impact with his patented vision and creativity posing a whole new threat to Fulham. …

Republic of Ireland midfielder Wes Hoolahan scored a brace on Saturday as Norwich ran riot against promotion-chasing Reading. Jaap Stam’s men were 6-1 down at the break and conceded another goal in the second half to lose the game 7-1. The result was quite embarrassing for a talented Reading side and it also puts a slight dent in their hopes of …

When Northern Ireland entertain Norway at Windsor Park on Sunday night in World Cup qualifying Michael O’Neill’s men may again look to Kyle Lafferty for goalscoring inspiration. The 29-year-old continues to lead the way for his country and has netted 20 times in 59 international appearances. Indeed, his form in helping Northern Ireland qualify for last summer’s European Championships was quite fantastic. …

It has been an impressive season for Irish players in the Championship. Conor Hourihane, Ryan Manning and Daryl Horgan have made great strides but one man has slipped under the radar. Anthony Pilkington, remember him? Lancashire-born Pilkington burst onto the scene with Stockport County and made the steep climb from non-league to the Premier League. He benefited from ex-Norwich boss …

With the Premier League promotion race hotting up, here we assess the best possible outcome for the Irish national team.  With the Irish contingent in the Premier League low, Martin O’Neill will be hoping more players will be appearing in the top flight next season. David Meyler and Stephen Ward were the only two Irish players to gain promotion last …

Robbie Brady reportedly turned down a move to Sunderland with manager David Moyes suggesting he had an interest in bringing the Dubliner to the Stadium of Light.

Midfield magicians have made the difference in the opening round of group games at Euro 2016. One such example is Dimitri Payet, who struck a stunning goal to get France off to a winning start against a dogged Romania side. Everything good that France created came through the West Ham playmaker, who could be one of the stars of the …

Norwich City have confirmed that Dieumerci Mbokani is “unharmed but shaken” following the Brussels attacks today. The attacks on Zaventem Airport and Malbeek Metro Centre have left at least 30 dead and around 230 injured, according to CNN.  The Congolese international, who joined the Premier League club on loan in August 2015, was in Zaventem Airport in Brussels during today’s suspected terrorist attack. Mbokani …

Joe Gleeson takes a look at some of the standout records which have been broken so far this term. “We know we’re having a strange year,” Ranieri said earlier this month. The understatement of the season. No one could have predicted that with twelve games left to go that Leicester would be sitting at the top of the league table, even …

Merry Coshcast! We’re back after a feast of Premier League football over the festive period. Everton-Stoke was a Christmas cracker of a match while Manchester United versus Chelsea was as awkwardly dull as the socks your nan gave you in a box that made you expect a real present. Elsewhere, Arsenal slipped past Bournemouth with another display of Ozilian artistry, and for Spurs, …
