No Sir Fred Goodwin at last

We are fed up with the ‘unrepentant demeanour’ of Fred Goodwin and his ilk.
Fred Goodwin has now been stripped of his knighthood – At last, some
justice for Testosterone Fred
Fred Goodwin has now been stripped of his knighthood
Allison Pearson

The City bonus culture is the financial sector’s version of Mine’s
Bigger than Yours. No one in British banking was a bigger Willy Waver
than Sir Fred Goodwin. His unchecked ego led the then chief executive
of the Royal Bank of Scotland to purchase a diseased Dutch bank with
slightly less care than your average person would take to buy a
kettle. Testosterone Fred had to have ABN Amro; nothing and no one
could stop him getting his hands on a prize which was worth “a whole
load of nothing”, according to one horrified analyst.

Fixtures clash – Time to kick ass

Cork V Dublin or the Munster v Ulster H cup match in April. ERC should have ensured that there is no clash – Respect for sports must be paramount in this country. Many rugby people are GAA fans also and vice versa. Sad and unnecessary.

Jack Anderson on Sports Law in IT

Eugene McGee in the Indo describes violence and rioting as a cancer in
the GAA and I have to agree with him. The best way to deal with the
Port Laoise melee is to report the incident formally to the Gardai and
have the identifiable perpetrators inteviewed and subjected to the
DPP. A large fine would deter copycats. The GAA should expel both from
next years championship and let them play in local leagues. Much more
inportant that paying managers!

Failure to rein in passions in the GAA could be criminal

JACK ANDERSON

BROKEN JAWS, fractured cheekbones, black eyes, concussed players,
distraught parents, spouses and children. This is just a flavour of

football semi-final between Tyrone club Derrytresk and Kerry’s Dromid
Pearses.
