WATERFORD have their sights set on a first Lidl National League Division 1 final appearance since 2002 as they get ready for Sunday’s home tie with Meath.

Igor Tudor has acknowledged Tottenham are in an “emergency situation” but believes the quality of the squad can steer them clear of Premier League relegation worries. Of course when you have the style, very concrete, but now this is an emergency,” Tudor pointed out after he declared to be “100 per cent” confident of survival. “An emergency situation when you need to find fast what suits the 10 (outfield) plus three players and it’s totally different. “Good if you are not in a good moment, of course. We have good players, they have good players, so let’s see what will happen.

Arsenal surrendered a two-goal lead at bottom-of-the-table Wolves on Wednesday to hand the initiative to title rivals Manchester City. However, addressing those claims, Arteta said: “That’s individual opinion, and you have to respect that. “But it’s not part of my vocabulary and I don’t see it like this because I don’t think anybody wants to do that as an intention. I don’t think I have ever pointed at a single player or the team.

The people of Limerick voted in favour of a directly elected mayor in a 2019 plebiscite, creating the only office of its kind in the country. The rocky start to this experiment in local democracy raises the question: is the role of directly elected mayor workable in Limerick and ultimately elsewhere in Ireland? However, she said the directly elected mayor role can work, though accepted there was a need for “tweaks” to the legislation. Quinlivan suggested the idea of a directly elected mayor for Dublin was “stalled” with “no urgency or enthusiasm from Government”.

EVEN dull days give great views when you’ve got double height windows and a glass wall overlooking the harbour. The sort of views the word ‘panoramic’ was designed for, really. That property was shown by Trevor O’Sullivan of Lisney Sotheby and is understood to have reached just below €600,000. But you’ll have to move lively too for this three-bedroom penthouse apartment at 53 Genoa, Harty’s Quay in Rochestown. The front of the apartment though is where the views really come into play, and there are two balcony access points.

I watched that Italy test match back and there were aching signs of a young lad all at sea. There are minimum test standards. I lost my confidence after 100 caps, but I had a pretty long career for ballast at a bad time. He’s lost his bearings early and Ireland management has done him and his future a long-term favour by removing Sam from the cauldron of test rugby. There are discussions: what’s the best course to right this ship, intervention or brazen it out?
