They ended up winning the title by a 10-point margin over runners-up Aston Villa, but had fought a three-horse race for much of the season with both Villa and Norwich City, not topping the table until January.

The arrival of Eric Cantona from Leeds United for £1.2 million in late November helped boost United’s title challenge after they had been as low as 10th in the league shortly before. Cantona’s arrival came after new striker Dion Dublin had been ruled out for six months with a broken leg, and Cantona was the catalyst in United’s triumph.

Mark Hughes topped the goalscoring charts with 15 league goals, while the brilliant Ryan Giggs was voted PFA Young Player of the Year for the second year in succession.

Steve Bruce was United’s captain for much of the season, as the veteran Bryan Robson missed many games due to injury. The arrival of Eric Cantona saw former striker Brian McClair switched into midfield, further restricting Robson’s first team chances.

Jack Carty warns against trolling and scaremongering on Social Media

Ireland and Connacht Rugby Player & Tackle Your Feelings ambassador, Jack Carty is encouraging people to be supportive and avoid trolling or scaremongering when using social media, especially now following the outbreak of the global pandemic, COVID-19.

Tackle Your Feelings was launched by Rugby Players Ireland and Zurich in 2016 and is funded by the Z Zurich Foundation. Today Jack was on hand to lend his support to the #ImTakingControl campaign which encourages people to ‘Take Control’ of their mental wellbeing using principles from both sport and positive psychology.

With many people working from home for the first time, and people around the country dealing with the impact of social distancing, many people are feeling lonely and isolated. Maintaining relationships will play a significant role in people’s mental wellbeing over the coming weeks and months. Increasingly people will turn to social media, and many positive stories are being shared across platforms of how people have come together as a community to support each other, at a time when so many are worried about what the future holds. However, social media can also be a negative space, with trolls using the platforms to be critical of other people, and others causing fear by sharing rumours and unverified information, which can contribute to feeling of anxiety and unfounded panic.

At a time when people can be more emotionally and mentally vulnerable, Carty is sharing his story of how he has coped with trolling on social media in the past. He acknowledges how social media can be a very positive thing but also the potential negativity that can come with it can have a significant impact on people’s mental wellbeing. Carty offers advice on how he has put things into perspective.  He advises not to let things become bigger than they actually are, and for people to ‘take control’ using the Tackle Your Feelings App.

Commenting on the #ImtakingControl campaign, Ireland and Connacht Rugby Player & Tackle Your Feelings ambassador Jack Carty said: “I’m hoping my story will help people as they try to cope with this crisis we are facing over the coming weeks and months. My experience dealing with negativity on social media has helped shape who I am today as a person, rugby player, teammate and friend. It is important, not just for rugby players, but for everyone not to dwell on things they read on social media, both good or bad, and acknowledge when they’re feeling down. Talking to friends and family about what you’re feeling used to be seen as a weakness, but it’s not, it just makes the people who care about you more aware of how you’re feeling and ultimately that can only be a good thing. People need to remember that what they say on social media can have a big impact, and in these challenging times we should try to use these platforms to share positivity and to drive community spirit.”

 

Research, commissioned by Zurich & Rugby Players Ireland and conducted by iReach across the island of Ireland prior to the Covid-19 pandemic revealed:

    • 47% of Irish people use social media as part of their daily routine
    • One in every ten adults have been victims of online bullying
    • 53% of Irish people indicated that they do not feel comfortable discussing their mental wellbeing with their friends
    • Half of those surveyed agreed that they need a tool to support them in prioritising their mental wellbeing
    • 93% of parents who were recently surveyed agreed that social media has contributed to the cyber bullying of children

 

The TYF [Tackle Your Feelings] App encourages people to be proactive about their mental wellbeing, with the research revealing that less than half the people on the island of Ireland (48%) don’t actively manage their mental wellbeing as part of their daily routine. Users can choose the Tackle Your Feelings resources they feel they need at the time. The app and website also feature sections on Relationships, Confidence, Happiness/Sadness, Sleep, Self-Care, Resilience, Anger, Relaxation, Optimism & Self-Awareness. It also has a mindfulness section where users can select from several mindfulness exercises.

Anthony Brennan, CEO, Zurich Ireland said: “With life as we know it changing at pace, maintaining and improving our mental wellbeing is more important than ever.  We have seen how role models like rugby players ‘taking control’ of their mental wellbeing can empower people to take action to improve their mental wellbeing. We believe Jack’s story will encourage people to be more proactive when it comes to minding their own mental health and wellbeing, using the app to incorporate it into their daily routine, and to be mindful of how they engage on social media.”

 

Tackle Your Feelings, Campaign Manager, RPI, Hannah McCormack, said: “It is great to be working with Jack Carty who understands both the positives and negatives that come with using social media. We hope his story inspires people to look out for each other online, especially at this time, when people are naturally using social media more than ever. It’s important for people to try to avoid scaremongering on social media and get their information from reputable sources like the HSE or WHO. People should also try to limit their time on social media and even take some time to curate their platforms and stop following anyone who makes them feel anxious. People can become part of the TYF community by downloading the App and following Tackle Your Feelings on Instagram, where we are sharing motivational stories along with positive mental wellbeing tips and exercises.”

 

Tackle Your Feelings is an innovative and unique approach to breaking down stigma around emotional wellbeing. Built on a foundation of diversity and inclusion, the campaign encompasses the whole island of Ireland and features some of Ireland’s most loved rugby players leading from the front, opening up about their own mental wellbeing challenges and the strategies they used to overcome them, so that people of Ireland can follow their lead.

Since its launch in 2016, Tackle Your Feelings has impacted the lives of people all over the world, with campaign content being viewed in excess of 23 million times. TYF has motivated people to be more proactive when it comes to looking after their mental wellbeing and has increased awareness around the importance of taking care of your mental health. TYF has also reached international audiences and has inspired similar campaigns across the globe, including; The English Rugby Players’ Association (RPA), ‘Lift the Weight’ campaign, New Zealand Rugby’s ‘HeadFirst’ campaign and Tackle Your Feelings Australia, a collaboration between Zurich Australia, the AFLPA and AFLCA.

What It Takes To Bet On Soccer

If you are a soccer fan, then you already know two things. You already know that soccer is the most popular sport in the world. The second thing that you likely know is that sports betting is growing more and more prevalent.

Heck, you can’t turn on a soccer game these days without being bombard by online bookies or ads for online casinos. Given that the industry is currently valued at a billion-dollars and only forecasted to grow, it is more than easy to understand why this is the case. More and more people, investors, and companies want to get a piece of the sports betting world. It only makes sense and you likely fall in that same category. However, betting on soccer isn’t a simple as going out and laying money down on a team that you think will win a match. There is much more to it than that.

Understanding The Moneyline

When betting on soccer, you are going to hear a wide range of terms. And, you’ll see a wide range of numbers with pluses and subtraction signs next to them. While this will be confusing at first, it isn’t all that difficult when you understand what’s going on. That being said, the first thing that you want to start with is the Moneyline. The Moneyline is something that will be offered by any online bookie, and it is basically nothing more than the odds. In fact, it should be thought of as the amount of money that you stand to win if you bet a $100. For instance, you might see a Moneyline that looks something like this: Real Madrid +120, Liverpool +205, and Draw +270.How To Read The Moneyline

So, you now know what the Moneyline is. However, that is just the start. If you use the above scenario it would mean that you stand to win $120 if you bet on Real Madrid and they win the game. If you bet on Liverpool and they win, you would win $205. However, this does not constitute your $100. So, if you bet on Liverpool and they win the game, you would be walking away with a total of $305. (This would be the initial $100 you bet and the $205 that you got from winning.)

That aside, when you are betting with quality online bookies like ufabet, you need to know that most of the time the profit is less than the value of your original wager. For instance, when betting online, you are likely to see a Moneyline something like this: France -475. This means that you would have to bet $475 just to win $100. So, if you made that bet and won, you would be walking away with $575. You can see the major risks, as you have to bet a lot of money to win a little.

Know The Spread

There will also be a spread that comes into play. You’ll likely see something like this when betting: France – 1.5 (-140) or Australia +1.5 (+115). In this case, you would need to wager 140 on France to win just a $100, but the kicker is that the team must win by at least two points.

All Sport in Ireland cancelled to at least April 19

All Sport is cancelled in Ireland to at least April 19 following an announcement by the government on Tuesday.

Horse Racing has continued in Ireland up until Tuesday where a meeting at Clonmel was held behind closed doors. In fact all meetings have been held behind closed doors since March 13th. Varadkar announced though that all sporting events will now be cancelled till April 19th at the latest even those without spectators. All sports betting shops will also be closed as of midnight on Tuesday. Speaking at the government briefing on Tuesday he said, “We believe we need to do more to flatten the curve. People should stay at home if at all possible – this is the best way to slow the virus.”

The FAI have said they still are looking at a June return for the Airtricity League. In a statement they said, “Regular meetings are ongoing with representatives from the National League Executive Committee and the Professional Footballers Association of Ireland to help our clubs and players through this difficult time.”

Golf will also be affected. The Golf Union of Ireland said all golf clubs and clubhouses should shut. The IRFU have made available 500,000 available to clubs. The Pro 14 final which was to take place in June is also postponed. In ladies football, the Lidl National Football Leagues will not be completed in 2020.

All of this news means we have to wait at least three weeks to see some sort of sport resume. Even at that it will be a push before we see some games on the T.V.

CONFIRMED: OLYMPIC GAMES TO BE POSTPONED TO 2021

The Olympic Federation of Ireland welcomes the decision to postpone the Summer Olympic Games to 2021, considering the current global crisis. Given the fast developments around the world with the Covid-19 pandemic makes this the correct decision under difficult circumstances.

The focus for Team Ireland now will be on protecting and safeguarding the Irish athletes over the coming months and ensuring that they can bounce back to full training and be in peak condition for a successful Games in 2021.

The Olympic Federation of Ireland CEO, Peter Sherrard welcomed the call, acknowledging the complexities involved in postponing the Games saying,

“This is the right call given the times that we are in. Nonetheless we recognize it was a difficult call for Japan to make, and we are looking forward to working with the IOC and countries all over the world to make Tokyo 2021 a poignant moment for the whole world once these difficult times are over.”

Tokyo Chef de Mission Tricia Heberle added,

“This decision, while totally appropriate, will impact on sport and our athletes in different ways, there will be mixed emotions. Our focus is to continue to engage with and support our sports as we gather as much information to determine how this will impact on both athletes who have already qualified and those who are on the path to qualification.”

What the Cheltenham Festival 2020 Taught Us About the Future of Irish Racing

At the Cheltenham Festival 2020, race fans were treated to a typically outstanding spectacle of the best National Hunt horses in the world taking each other on ‘hoof to hoof’.

It was once again a fantastic four days for Irish racing, with Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott locked at the top of the Champion Trainer standings with seven winners apiece, and Ireland once again lifting the Prestbury Cup after outperforming Britain during the week.

For some of the competing horses, this will have been their last chance to shine on the Cheltenham track – Apple’s Jade, as one example, has now been retired. But for others, there will be more opportunities to come in major races, and the future certainly looks bright for a number of Irish horses that performed so admirably at the Festival.

So where will they be heading in the future? Let’s take a look back at Cheltenham Festival 2020 and explore what might be in store for Irish racing’s leading lights.

Triple Boum for Al?

The Gold Cup remains the most eagerly anticipated race of the Festival and arguably of the National Hunt calendar – Grand National fans might have something to say about that, of course.

Al Boum Photo, a French horse with indelibly Irish links (given that he is trained by Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend), won another edge-of-the-seat renewal in 2020 and will now be looking to complete a momentous hat-trick next year.

He could become the first horse since Best Mate to win three consecutive editions of the Gold Cup, and at the age of nine and with a suitably under-worked campaign the Buck’s Boum progeny should be ideally placed for a shot at history.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Cheltenham Festival ante-post horse racing betting markets to open up in the near future because Al Boum Photo will be well-fancied to complete a glorious treble. 

Shishkin Shows the Way

You have to go back to the first race of the whole Cheltenham meeting to recall one of the most eye-catching performances of the week. Shishkin won the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle from Gordon Elliott’s Abacadabras to become the seventh Irish horse in eight years to win the renewal.

Just take a look at the rollcall of names on this trophy: Altior, Douvan, Vautour and L’Escargot have all won the Supreme, which acts as a precursor for bigger and better successes to come.

With impeccable breeding and in the safe hands of Nicky Henderson, the racing world is Shishkin’s oyster, and connections will already be plotting his next move. A tilt at the Arkle or Ryanair Chase at next year’s edition of Cheltenham is likely.

Oscar Poised for National Acclaim?

Often, Cheltenham Festival’s headlines are dominated by horses that didn’t win and should have, as much as those who cross the line in first place.

Paisley Park was practically inked in as the likely champion of the Stayers’ Hurdle, but Andrew Gemmell’s horse never looked in the hunt on the day and so it was left to the longest-priced winner of the Festival to storm home. Lisnagar Oscar has shown promise in the past but has endured a rather below-par season up until recently when he powered home in the Stayers at 50/1 to have the bookies dancing a jig of delight.

It was a fantastic run that gives connections renewed optimism that more might be to come from the seven-year-old. Having run well at Aintree in the past, perhaps a tilt at the hardiest race of them all – the Grand National – is in the pipeline for this Irish raider?

All Goes Swimmingly for Monkfish

While not necessarily a precursor to major success, the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle has thrown up some interesting winners in the past. Bobs Worth, for example, won this renewal in 2011 before going on to further glory in the RSA Chase a year later and, in 2013, winning the big one: the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

That suggests a potential pathway to the big time for Monkfish, the impressive six-year-old who triumphed in the Albert Bartlett this time around. His career has been dominated by low-key successes domestically thus far, but a strong showing at Prestbury Park in beating a pair of Irish horses – Latest Exhibition and Fury Road – indicates real quality.

Next year, expect Monkfish to step up in class on the chasing scene. One thing that is for sure, the future of Irish racing is in very safe hands.

Heineken Champions Cup Rugby 2019/20 finals postponed

The EPCR Board has reconfirmed the suspension of this season’s Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup tournaments and has furthermore decided to postpone the semi-final matches, as well as the 2020 Marseille finals, which were due to be played on the weekends of 1/2/3 May and 22/23 May respectively.

In making the decision, the Board is abiding by the official directives and recommendations of the relevant authorities in its territories to restrict the COVID-19 pandemic.

In light of the earlier postponement of its quarter-final matches and with fixtures in Europe’s professional league competitions currently suspended due to the public health crisis, EPCR believes it necessary to provide as much clarity as possible to all stakeholders regarding the knockout stages of its tournaments.

To that end, EPCR is working with the leagues and unions to restructure a conclusion to its season as part of a wider rescheduling of the remainder of the season in Europe, with all contingencies underpinned by the requirement to protect the health and welfare of players, club staff, match officials, supporters and the wider rugby community.

EPCR remains committed to completing the 2019/20 Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup season, and it is planned to reschedule the quarter-final and semi-final matches, as well as the Marseille finals, in line with fixtures in the professional league competitions, subject to advice from government and local authorities.

Tickets already purchased for the Marseille finals will be valid for the new dates when announced, and from that point, fans who are unable to attend on the new dates will be entitled to a refund.

EPCR would like to thank Olympique de Marseille, the staff at the Orange Vélodrome and altl local and regional partners for their continuing collaboration, and an update regarding the knockout stages of the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup will be communicated as soon as practicable.

Mark Keane of the Collingwood club also known as the Magpies is also returning home. Anton Tohill of Derry is also returning home. Conor Glass is also reported to be returning home to Derry. Furthermore, looking at the Women’s AFL League Dublin duo Sinead McGoldrick and Niamh McEvoy are reportedly on their way back to Ireland due to the pandemic.

It is likely the AFL will not resume till June at the earliest. The West Australia reported this.
