Republic of Ireland WNT Boss Pauw Thanks Fans For Support

Republic of Ireland women’s national team manager Vera Pauw has thanked fans for their support in Tallaght Stadium after her side ran out 3-2 winners against world number 11 national side Australia.

A crowd of 3,314 were present on the night to help Pauw’s women end a seven-game skid with a strong win over the side that finished fourth at this year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.

It was the seventh time out of the 23 games the women’s national side has played in Tallaght Stadium that there were over 3,000 supporters in attendance – the fixture against Australia adhered to Covid restrictions.

Ireland WNT Manager Vera Pauw wanted to thank the fans for their incredible support.

“I’ve always said it, from the first moment that I came here, that our fans are truly unbelievable. From when they arrive into the Stadium right the way until the very end, they are cheering us on and that makes such a difference as it helps to inspire our players.

“It was far too long not playing in front of our fans, even though we all appreciate and respect the effects of COVID-19. But on Tuesday, it was like they had never been away. There was an electric feeling around the place and the fans never got tired and never stopped supporting us.

“From myself, the players & the backroom staff, we want to thank everyone who came out to support us. They made a big impact and reminded us that football needs to be played in front of fans because the game belongs to us all.

“We are delighted with our performance and result against Australia, but now we turn our attention to the FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers – starting at home, in Tallaght Stadium, against Sweden on October 21st. I really hope that we can get as many fans as possible into the Stadium for that game because it will be one of the biggest games in the history of the Ireland Women’s Team.

“We would also like to thank Sky Ireland, who enjoyed their first game as our primary partner. We are excited to work closely with them. And we also issue a special thanks to the media who continue to cover our team and help to raise the profile of women’s football as a result.

“For our fans, we never take their support for granted and it fills us with great pride when we can show our appreciation by signing autographs or taking selfies after the game. We have built a great connection together and we are already looking forward to the Sweden game and seeing our fans again.”

Ticket news will be announced soon for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier between the Republic of Ireland and Sweden on Thursday, October 21st.

Republic of Ireland Women’s U17s End Portugal Trip On A High

The Republic of Ireland Women’s Under-17s won 1-0 against Portugal in Lisbon on Wednesday afternoon, bouncing back from a defeat to the same opponent earlier in the week.

Their win came less than 24 hours after the senior side defeated Australia in front of over 3,000 fans at Tallaght Stadium.

With time ticking down in Lisbon, Cork City defender Heidi Macken popped up to score the winning goal for the Irish.

The youngster made the most telling impact at the most crucial time as referee Sofia Gamas blew the final whistle moments after that to allow Ireland to extend their celebrations.

Head Coach James Scott made some changes to his line-up following last Monday’s 3-1 loss to the same opponent and there was a freshness about their play in the Portuguese heat.

It was the hosts who struck first with a shot from distance rattling the Irish crossbar before Claudia Keenan was called on to make a vital save on 18 minutes.

However, Ireland did produce some neat passages of play – a characteristic of Scott’s teams – with Lia O’Leary shooting just wide of the target and also registering a second effort at goal.

Abby Larkin tested the alertness of the Portuguese goalkeeper, Eve Dossen headed wide when meeting a free-kick delivery, and Michaela Lawrence clipped the top of the crossbar with a shot.

While Portugal did have some chances, it was Ireland who looked the most likely to score with Larkin again going close.

However, luck seemed to be evading them until Macken changed that for them.

The watch had gone past the 90th minute when Macken got the goal that ends this trip to Portugal on a high and should give Ireland plenty of confidence going into their UEFA Women’s Under-17 European Championship qualifiers.

Republic of Ireland: Keenan; Thompson, Dossen (Fleming 68), Macken, O’Hanlon; O’Mahony (O’Brien 80), Lawrence (O’Riley 68); Long (Kelly 56), Loughrey (McCarn 80), O’Leary (Ralph 80); Larkin.

Portugal: Faria; Ramos, Vinhas, Cardoso, Pinto, Francisca; Ferreira, Martins, Joao, Simas, Doce.

Referee: Sofia Gama (Portugal).

World Rugby Limit Full Contact Training To 15 Minutes Per Week

World Rugby have limited full-contact training to 15 minutes per week as part of a set of new guidelines aimed at reducing injury risk and supporting short and long-term player welfare.

The guidelines have been published by both World Rugby and International Rugby Players (IRP), and is supported by national players’ associations, national unions, international and domestic competitions, top coaches and clubs.

They focus on the intensity and frequency of contact training that rugby players undertake throughout their careers.

Full contact training is recommended to be limited to a maximum of 15 minutes per week across a maximum of two days per week with Mondays and Fridays comprising zero full contact training to allow for recovery and preparation.

Other recommended limits include a 40-minute cap on controlled contact training per week and a 30-minute restriction on live set-piece training.

World Rugby Director of Rugby and High Performance and former Ireland coach Joe Schmidt added: “Training has increasingly played an important role in injury prevention as well as performance.

“While there is a lot less full-contact training than many people might imagine, it is our hope that having a central set of guidelines will further inform players and coaches of key considerations for any contact that is done during training.

“These new guidelines, developed by leading experts and supported by the game, are by necessity a work in progress and will be monitored and further researched to understand the positive impact on player welfare. We are encouraged by the response that we have received so far.

“We recognise that community-level rugby can be an almost entirely different sport in terms of fitness levels, resources and how players can be expected to train, but the guidelines can be applied at many levels, especially the planning, purpose and monitoring of any contact in training.”

Leinster coach Stuart Lancaster, who was involved in reviewing the study and advising the development of the guidelines, said: “We have a responsibility to make the game as safe as possible for all our players. For coaches, optimising training plays a significant role in achieving that objective.

“It is important that we do not overdo contact load across the week in order that players are fresh, injury-free and ready for match days. These guidelines provide a practical and impactful approach to this central area of player preparation and management.”

Ireland international and IRP Head of Strategic Projects and Research Sene Naoupu said: “While this is the first step of the implementation and monitoring process, it is an incredible outcome that shows just how much players care about this area.

“It also provides a foundation to review and determine the future direction of implementation across the game, within an evidence-based injury-prevention programme for performance and welfare.”

The guidelines will feature in the men’s and women’s Rugby World Cup player welfare standards.

World Rugby is also working on a “wide-ranging study of the impact of replacements on injury risk in the sport with the University of Bath in England.”

All of these activities will inform the decisions the sport makes to advance welfare for players at all levels and stages.

Betting laws and regulations in Ireland

Gambling has been legal in Ireland for hundreds of years, but the rules and regulations governing betting in the country have changed over time. In Irish law, the term ‘bet’ is not defined. The Betting Acts, on the other hand, state that “the word bet includes wager which entails a bookmaker assigning fixed odds against a future event, accepting bets on the event, and paying out profits. But same as Finnish new online casinos, the Irish online casinos are regulated by a state monopoly.  Various Betting laws and regulations in Ireland include, let’s take a closer look at them:

  1. The Betting Act of 1854 

The Betting Act of 1854 was the first piece of legislation to regulate gambling in Ireland. The Act was passed in the 1850s and was in use for over 100 years. The 1854 Act specified regulations guiding the use of houses and offices for gambling or betting purposes. The Act stipulates penalties for offenders regarding illegal occupation of properties and laundering of money.

  1. Gaming and Lotteries Act of 1956

The Act addressed Ireland’s gradual rise in casino gambling. Commercial casinos were prohibited by the Gaming and Lotteries Act of 1956, although members’ clubs were allowed to continue to operate their casino games. Poker and other casino games are popular in these private members’ clubs, but because there are only a few dozen throughout Ireland, they are considered minor. However, the law made provision which allowed playing casino for real money. The Act allowed issuance of permission to lottery holders, total value of the prizes shall not be more than £300 and the value of each prize shall be stated on every ticket or coupon.

  1. The Betting Act of 1931

According to the Betting Act of 1931, it is illegal for a minor under the age of 18 to be in an Irish bookmaker. In Ireland, the legal gambling age is generally set at 18 years old. In Ireland, for example, you must be 18 to buy a Lotto ticket or place a bet. Previously, the legal age for gambling in Ireland was set at 16, but it was later raised to 18.

 

 

  1. The 2013 Gambling Control Bill

The 2013 Gambling Control Bill was sponsored by Alan Shatter as a private Member’ Bill but it is yet to be passed. The bill is expected to increase regulation of the gaming industry, both online and offline. In addition to regulatory improvements, the measure would make it lawful for dozens of brick-and-mortar casinos to open in Ireland, thereby transforming Ireland’s gambling landscape.

  1. The Betting Act 2015

The bill was created and approved to amend the Betting Act of 1931, which failed to address an account for the upcoming expansion of internet gambling, which is expected to happen a half-decade after it was drafted. The Betting (Amendment) Act 2015 was passed into law in March 2015, and its regulations became effective on August 1, 2015. The modification was made to cover all remote operators, regardless of where they are located or whether they are online. The operator will be liable to Irish regulation and taxation if they accept bets from anyone in Ireland.

The Betting Act of 2015 made it unlawful to assist gambling to players in Ireland. Operators can face fines of up to €150, 000 for the first offense and up to €300,000 for subsequent offenses. The Betting Act requires any operator that accepts bets from anyone in Ireland to be licensed and taxed in Ireland.

 

  1. The Gaming and Lotteries Act of 2019

The Amendment Act altered and changed the original Gaming Act of 1956 by making changes to sections 3 and 4 of the principal Act. The Act states that promoting gambling without first obtaining a gaming permission or license is illegal punishable under the law. However, the sections 12 and 13 of the Act which give local governments the right to pass resolutions allowing gambling in their administrative regions, remain unchanged under the Act. With such resolution, the District Court may issue a certificate authorizing the issuing of a license legalizing gaming at an amusement hall or parks. The operator of gambling houses can then apply to the Revenue Commissions for a gaming license for both machines and premises using the certificate.

 

Liverpool To Face Preston In Round 4 of Carabao Cup

Liverpool have been drawn to face Preston North End in the fourth round of the 2021/22 Carabao Cup at Deepdale.

It is only the fifth time in the last 18 domestic cup ties that Liverpool have been drawn against a side outside of the Premier League.

The tie will be the first meeting between the sides in 12 years, which was also held at Deepdale, and only the second in 59 years – Albert Riera and Fernando Torres gave Liverpool a 2-0 win in the third round of the FA Cup.

Furthermore, this will be the first time Liverpool and Preston will meet each other in the league cup.

Liverpool began their current Carabao Cup campaign on Tuesday night with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road.

Preston will play their fourth game of the competition this season against Liverpool after high-scoring wins against Mansfield Town, Morecambe and Cheltenham Town.

Preston and Liverpool have connections – Liverpool signed centre-half Ben Davies from the side in January while Sepp Van Den Berg is currently on loan at the Lilywhites.

Liverpool will be expected to use the clash as an excuse to rest key players and give fringe players game time.

The Redmen’s young guns caught the eye against the Canaries as the trio of Conor Bradley, Kaide Gordon and Tyler Morton seamlessly slotted into the system that Liverpool use on their debuts.

Northern Irish right-back Conor Bradley was adept at making use of the right half-space in between the midfield and the right flank.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is known for making use of this area of the pitch when providing support in attack.

Bradley’s time in the Liverpool academy and with the Northern Irish senior side showcases his ability to join the midfield and help sustain pressure on the opposition.

However, the Tyrone native gave away a penalty towards the end of the first half but Kelleher, who hails from the same island, made sure the debutant’s mistake was not costly.

Kaide Gordon, born in 2004, made his anticipated debut at Carrow Road on the right wing and linked up well with Bradley.

Gordon worked hard and did well on the wing to force his way into spaces and create goalscoring opportunities.

He was the only member of the front three that did not get himself a goal but it was not for lack of trying on the night the former Derby County player became Liverpool’s fifth youngest-ever player at 16 years and 351 days.

Liverpool leaked counter-attacks in the first half as the midfield that looked like it lacked a defensive presence on paper lacked a defensive presence.

Step up Tyler Morton for his first 45 minutes under Jurgen Klopp – Naby Keita went the other way after picking up what appeared to be a minor muscle injury.

Morton was given lots of time and space on the ball by the hosts and did well with it as he became the assured presence that calmed the eight-time league cup winners’ midfield.

The U23 star made 31 passes while only taking 39 touches and also helped in defence, filling in for those who had left a space in the back four.

Fourth round fixtures are scheduled to be played in the week commencing October 25 and fixture details will be announced soon.

Best SSE Airtricity League XI in FIFA 22

FIFA 22 launches Friday, 1st October which will see the return of the SSE Airtricity League along with Ireland’s ten best clubs

This will be the 14th year that the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division has featured in-game. People that purchase the game will also get exclusive Club Pack Covers featuring the individual club crests of all 10 Premier Division teams.

Powered by The League, each Premier Division team will have their very own exclusive FIFA 22 Club Pack, and the cover sleeves will once again be free to download for all League of Ireland fans when the game launches on Friday, October 1st.

Many FIFA players are great fans of their most popular feature and there have been some upgrades and downgrades to the players in the Irish league.

The squad of best players is made up of four nations and five clubs with Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers having the majority of players.

Dundalk’s Michael Duffy is the new highest rated player in the game with a 68 rating. The best aspects of his card are his 81 pace and that he is one of three players in the league with four-star skill moves and weak foot – the other two are Rovers’ Danny Mandroiu and Sligo Rovers’ Kiwi forward Ryan de Vries.

The two fastest players in the league by FIFA 22 standards are English winger Junior Odegi-Uzokwe and Jamaican forward Romeo Parkes.

FIFA 22 Airtricity League XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Goalkeeper: Talbot (65)

James Talbot just edges out Mannus with more individual stats. The Bohemians keeper stands at only 5’11” but his higher reflexes will make him strong with close shots.

Defence: Kavanagh (63), Cleary (64), Lopes (65), Gannon (65)

The mainly Shamrock Rovers defence is made up of two silver cards. Cape Verde’s Roberto Lopes and Ireland’s Sean Gannon will sure up a backline that is missing speed.

Midfield: McEleney (65), Zahibo (66), O’Neill (65)

Now we start to move on to the big guns. Wilfried Zahibo from the Central African Republic is a rare silver card with high physicality and an orange link to Athletico Madrid’s Kondogbia.

He is surrounded by Irish league mainstay’s Gary O’Neill and Patrick McEleney whose stats do not properly reflect the effect they have had on the league.

Front Three: Duffy (68), Hoban (65), Byrne (66)

The strike force has two of the Airticity league’s best shooters in Graham Burke and Patrick Hoban. They will join the 68 rated rare card in Michael Duffy who has had a lackluster season with Dundalk so far this season.

Bench: Mannus (65), Hoare (64), Bolger (64), Forrester (64), Mandroiu (64)

Connacht Star Paul Boyle Excited To Work Under New Coaches

Connacht back-rower Paul Boyle is looking forward to working under the new coaching ticket in the province for the upcoming season.

Colm ‘Cullie’ Tucker, Mossy Lawler and Dewald Senekal have joined Andy Friend’s backroom for the 2021/22 season while Peter Wilkins is now the side’s senior coach after previously holding the position of defence coach.

Boyle has previously worked with Cullie Tucker and Lawler during his time in the Connacht Academy and has worked with Wilkins in the last few years.

The 24-year-old is excited to work with the familiar faces again and is also eager to get a season under his belt alongside Senekal.

“I worked with Cullie and Mossy before in the Academy – I always enjoyed working with them,” Boyle said. “Pete in his new role is doing a really good job and then Dewald, he’s kind of laying down the law with the forwards, and I’m really enjoying working under him as well.

“Even during the international window when I hadn’t met him, he was texting me wishing me the best of luck – he’s a really nice guy.

“Then coaching-wise, like I said he kind of lays down the law. Really strict, but adds a bit of fun to it as well and he has some really cool ideas around how he wants our forward pack to play.”

Forwards coach Senekal joined the province after spells with Bayonne, Grenoble (joint-head coach) and Stade Francais in recent years.

Boyle also worked with another coaching ticket this summer – Andy Farrell’s Ireland team.

The former Landsdowne man was one of six Connacht players called up to the national squad and he got his first cap against the USA.

The Dubliner values the time he spent in the Irish camp and noted that it was an enjoyable, but intense experience.

“The three-week camp was really enjoyable, it was unbelievably intense. I learned a lot and since then I’ve just been trying to implement the things I’ve learned, whether it was work-ons or good things I need to improve as well.

“I’ve just been enjoying implementing those, I got some good feedback from coaches, learned a lot off other players I was in camp with and hopefully come game time I can implement some of the things I’ve been working on.

“It was something that I had been working towards but I suppose when the call comes it is always a surprise.

“It’s a lovely surprise but it’s something I’ve been working towards for the last number of years so I was delighted as well.”

The back-rowers focus for now, however, has returned to the Connacht setup ahead of the new season.

The Westerners start their season on Friday, September 24 with a journey to Cardiff Arms Park to take one the renamed Cardiff Rugby.

Boyle is hoping for more consistent performances throughout the season after a frustrating 2020/21 campaign.

“It’s just putting in an 80-minute performance. There’s been patches of games that have got away from us.

“Even if it’s only 10-15 minutes, it’s enough to let the game slip away so it’s not only about being consistent game-to-game, it’s being consistent for the full 80 minutes as well.

“It’s about putting the head down and working hard. We’ve had plenty of weeks now to prep, we’ve had our two games, so I think it would be silly to have any excuses come the first game.”

Connacht’s opening match of the inaugural United Rugby Championship season against Cardiff gets underway on Friday at 7:35 pm and will be shown live on TG4.

Three Changes To Ireland Sevens Squad For Edmonton Tournament

Three changes have been made to the Ireland men’s sevens squad for the second and final leg of the 2021 World Rugby Sevens Series in Edmonton, Canada.

The three changes to the squad for this weekend are injury-enforced, with Gavin Mullin, Ed Kelly and Mark Roche, unfortunately, picking up injuries in Vancouver.

All three have been ruled out this week and have returned to Dublin while Olympians Billy Dardis and Jordan Conroy, and Aaron O’Sullivan return to action for the national side.

A new-look Ireland squad impressed last weekend in Vancouver as the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series returned after 18 months, and the side – led by Bryan Mollen – will be hoping to build further on those performances at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.

A fourth-place finish in Vancouver was Ireland’s best placing as a World Series core team, and the exposure of nine debutants to international action across the weekend was a real positive at the start of a new Olympic cycle.

Commenting ahead of the Edmonton tournament, IRFU Director of Sevens Rugby Anthony Eddy says this weekend will provide the squad with another exciting opportunity to build experience and cohesion building towards the 2022 season.

“It was great to see to team perform so well in Vancouver and they have taken a lot of learnings from that tournament that should put them in a better position this weekend,” Eddy said.

“What is really exciting is to see some of the young men that have no experience of this level of competition perform so well and they will continue to develop and become very important players for the team during the 2021/2022 World Series.”

Ireland will open their campaign against Germany on Saturday, September 25 (9:44 am local time/4:44 pm Irish time), before further Pool C clashes against Jamaica (12:55 pm local time/7:55 pm Irish time) and Great Britain (4:28 pm local time/11:28 pm Irish time) later in the day.

Play-off matches will be played on Sunday, September 26 – all games will be available to watch on the World Rugby Sevens Series social media channels.

Millwall v Leicester City – Preview, Lineups, Odds, Where To Watch

Leicester City will travel to London to take on Millwall in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Leicester will be hoping to put an end to a three-game winless streak and get things back on track as their season has failed to get going so far.

Milwall are another club suffering from a slow start with only three wins in 10 games this season – two of them have come in the League Cup.

A Premier League scalp like Leicester would be the perfect motivation for the Lions to start a strong run of form.

Leicester loanee Ademola Lookman is in line to earn his first start after impressing Brendan Rodgers with his cameo against Brighton.

Rodgers is expected to rotate his side heavily for the clash as they look to give some regular starters a rest.

Daniel Amartey, who is the only available player that started at the Den in Leicester’s last clash with them in 2017, could also start.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could also line up for the Foxes after being eased into the first-team by his Northern Irish manager.

Players such as Patson Daka, Hamza Choudhury and Marc Albrighton also have a chance of getting on the teamsheet.

Wesley Fofana, James Justin and Nampalys Mendy are still sidelined with long-term injuries.

Maikel Kieftenbeld is the only injury concern for the hosts ahead of the clash with the FA Cup champions.

Shaun Hutchinson is set to return from injury while Benik Afobe, George Evans and Danny McNamara have also been training this week.

Jed Wallace and Sheyi Ojo will miss the game through illness.

Lineups

Milwall (3-4-2-1): Long; Hutchinson, Pearce, Cooper; Leonard, Mitchell, Evans, Wallace; Maloney, Thompson; Bradshaw.

Subs: Smith, Malone, Saville, Bodvarsson, Afobe, Ballard Bialkowski.

Leicester City (3-5-2): Ward; Amartey, Soyuncu, Evans; Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Dewbury-Hall, Thomas; Iheanacho, Lookman.

Subs: Barnes, Maddison, Vestergaard, Castagne, Daka, Jakupovic, Soumaré.

Odds

Millwall 9/2

Draw 11/4

Leicester City 8/13

Where To Watch

The match will kick-off at 7:45 pm but will not be available on TV. You can follow the game on the clubs’ social media pages.
