Daniel Storey gives his Premier League review.

There are obvious holes to be picked in the belief it is never a bad idea to watch a game of football.

He kitted out for Manchester United in the 90s alongside such footballing legends as Roy Keane, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs.

In days gone by, a winger wasn’t a winger unless the soles of his boots were covered in white paint from spending so much time standing on the touchline; and that’s a tradition which might be making a return in 2019-20.

They were known as the superb six, a cohort ready-made to complement Ireland’s golden generation of Robbie Keane and Damien Duff, but the tribulations of those bright young things should temper the hype attaching to the latest sextet.

Superstar Rod Stewart paid a warm tribute to the late footballer Liam Miller, at his concert in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork last night, posting a picture of the former Republic of Ireland, Manchester United and Celtic player on the big screen of his stage.

The word legend is overused in football. Even the most heroic of players should remain heroes during their lifetimes, becoming legends only when they are gone.

And in different circumstances, he believes Roy Keane could have been the man to shape that philosophy.

Here's your lunchtime bulletin.

Paul Pogba took barely half an hour to offer his epitaph for Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United career - or so it seemed.

For once, in his post-match comments on Saturday, José didn’t dissemble, and he spoke for what was in all our hearts. We all knew we’d robbed the Cherries blind - but we felt it was the cosmic karmic balancing for our own last-gasp mugging at Stamford Bridge two weeks back. Somewhere in the back of mind chirped the old cliché “these things even out over a season”.

Twenty years after their on-field tension rivalry ended, Ian Wright insisted his summer squabble with Roy Keane on the pundits’ couch at the World Cup hasn’t dimmed his respect for the Corkman.

Martin O’Neill reaffirmed his determination to continue in the Irish job after tonight’s Nations League defeat to Wales.

Ryan Giggs has challenged his Wales youngsters to prove people wrong in the absence of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.

If Ireland walk the walk tonight like Martin O’Neill talked the talk yesterday then an Aviva Stadium rendered almost mute by the dour spectacle of Saturday’s scoreless draw with Denmark might finally have something to cheer about.

Wales boss Ryan Giggs says Gareth Bale is “50-50” to face Ireland at Aviva Stadium in their Nations League clash next Tuesday.

If it is possible for an event, which mainly consisted of middle-aged men in a state of wheezy exhaustion, to be considered spiritual, then Tuesday’s Liam Miller Tribute match certainly was that, writes Tommy Martin

The fallacy about sport is that it belongs to the young. This is not quite true, though the young often feel that they invented their particular pastime, or that it exists for their enjoyment alone.

Even on the back of a painful hiding, one game into a new campaign might seem a bit too early to be talking about crisis.

The only bit of good Nations League news out of last night for Ireland is that, with Denmark’s stand-off with their federation now resolved, they are sure to present a rather more formidable obstacle to Wales in Aarhus on Sunday than sorry Ireland were able to muster in Cardiff.

Whatever this was, friendly or competitive fare, it was carnage. And who’s to say it will get any better?

The only time Ryan Giggs came up against Ireland as a player, he was reduced to playing a bit part in history.

David Brooks says he never considered changing his mind, like the Republic of Ireland’s Declan Rice, after pledging his international allegiance to Wales.

Páirc Uí Chaoimh GAA stadium in Cork will have a full house of 45,000 for the Liam Miller benefit soccer match on September 25. The fixture is now sold out.

When Roy Keane is in the dugout, can it ever be called a ‘friendly’?

A galaxy of global football superstars is being lined up for a special tribute game in Cork later this year for the former Manchester United and Celtic player Liam Miller.

Manchester City have earned the ultimate collective prize for a remarkable season and their players will lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday when they face Swansea City at the Etihad.

It is hard to believe, given her enduring brilliance and renowned seriousness for preparation and playing, but Anne Dalton actually turned down two invitations to step up to the Kilkenny senior camogie panel.

Ryan Giggs defended Gareth Bale’s contribution after he suffered his first defeat as Wales manager to Uruguay in the China Cup final.

Ryan Giggs is determined to promote young talent in his new role as Wales manager after playing his part in the rise of Marcus Rashford.

Declan Rice may have a decision to make on his international future after England boss Gareth Southgate revealed he was monitoring the Ireland U21 midfielder.

"You are pitting your wits against two experienced men in Martin O’Neill, and in Roy, who is obviously someone I know well, who was a fantastic player and captain."

The Republic of Ireland will face a rerun of their World Cup qualifying campaign in the inaugural UEFA Nations League.

This will be Giggs’ first permanent job in management.

Who would you choose?

Stoke reacted to their FA Cup defeat by Coventry and slide into the Premier League relegation zone by sacking manager Mark Hughes.
