Greetings from Karteros, Crete! SportCrazy.net is here on location at the RC 1/8th Off-Road European Championships. Team Ireland have now completed the 5th round of qualifications this afternoon and we’ll find out shortly how the team have seeded. Driving for Ireland are Nicholas Brooker, David Curtis, Darren Hill and Bernd Rapp, team manager is Alastair [...]

Back to talking about positive things with Irish rugby with Munster going after Ireland’s 2nd European title of the year (and admittedly, far more important than Leinster’s Magners League title). My call on the match is very tight, both in terms of scores and playing style, with a fair amount of kicking in the first half, [...]

I had a fantastic weekend in Neuchatel for the annual Rugby Sevens tournament, just a quick note to say thanks to Le Sept Arverne, a bunch of really cool guys who I played with all weekend. Chicken Run!!

Ireland are bumbling our way into the Six Nations - we’re about to kick off against Italy in 2 minutes time. Before we do, I’d just like to point out the incompetence of our manager, Eddie O’Sullivan. I say incompetence, because he is simply not a competent manager in this day and age. This kind of [...]

Well done to the NE Patriots on making NFL history with 16 victories from 16 games. The Giants gave them more of a match than they expected (38-35). Great to see some quality American football, we’re enjoying the season this side of the pond! Finding live games online I’ve been looking for some sites to watch GAA [...]

The honourable thing would be to resign but for financial reasons he probably won’t do that and I understand his position on that front. The IRFU board members responsible for [...]

Thought you guys might be interested in this - hot off the presses at the RWC. I’m registered as a media agency for the RWC (no - unfortunately they didn’t deem me big enough to send me free tickets). Rugby World Cup 2007 Statement It is regrettable that certain members of the media should have decided [...]

Indie Bike asked me for a review of their website or products, so I’ll concentrate the website and what I think they’re doing right and on a couple of key things I think they could improve. What’s right? Most of the elements of a successful e-commerce site are there, from the shopping cart to deal of [...]

I recently wrote about fitness and work life and running a business. I also made a promise over on my search engine marketing blog that during the month of September I’m going to post one blogging tip per day as a “penance” for my lack of posting over there recently. I’ve noticed a dramatic increase in [...]

Well it’s getting towards RWC time and things are really hotting up in the rugby world! Yet another Kiwi thug recently decided to have a go at finishing what they started back in 2005 by taking Ireland’s captain out of it. Thankfully he had a “lucky” escape with a fractured sinus rather than cheekbone so [...]

Interesting one for people looking for cycling routes in Dublin - a guy, obviously called Dick O’Brien, has listed about 30 cycling routes from Dublin city centre. They’re listed on RouteSlip.com and include route maps, distance and amount of climbing: Dick O’Brien’s cycling routes Fair play to you for the work in adding all those!
