We went out and chatted with the lovely people of Dublin over two days in mid February 2015, this is what we got
That old guy with the beard.. Mmf!
Bloody fist pounding rivals on the pitch.
But now the gloves are on.
Niall Webb writes:
I represent Roger Casement’s GAA club in Coventry [UK]. We are hosting the UK’s first GAA Boxing Fundraiser [against bruising Coventry-based rivals Four Masters]. I thought that more people may wish to see the trailer [involving a previous pitch battle between the clubs] we have created for the event since it is very much in the Sky Sports mould…
Our money’s on Four Masters.

I am sorry to have to tell you that our wonderful, esteemed colleague David Carr died suddenly tonight after collapsing in the newsroom. A group of us were with his wife, Jill, and one of his daughters, at the hospital. His daughter Erin said he was special, and that he was.
He was the finest media reporter of his generation, a remarkable and funny man who was one of the leaders of our newsroom. He was our biggest champion, and his unending passion for journalism and for truth will be missed by his family at The Times, by his readers around the world, and by people who love journalism.
An email sent by Dean Baquet, editor at the New York Times, informing staff of the death of David Carr.
