Mbappe and Bellingham missing in action again.

Watching the highlights Courtois kept the scoreline respectable for Real Madrid.

Watching PSG at home to Bayern Munich.  Bayern leading 2-0 ex Liverpool player Luis Díaz with both goals should be 5-0 with the amount of big chances created.  Luis Díaz got a straight red before the break

Bayern hang on to win 2-1.

Rob Hennelly who retired from inter-county football a year ago has been added to Andy Moran Mayo Senior panel for the year ahead.  Cillian O'Connor,James Carr also return after opting out of the 2025 season.

Monaghan GAA paid tribute to Hughes with the following statement this morning:

"It is with deep and profound sadness that Monaghan GAA has learned of the passing of one of our greatest ever players, Eugene 'Nudie' Hughes – a true legend of Monaghan football and a three-time All-Star recipient.

"Nudie's contribution to our county, both on and off the field, was immense. His skill, passion and leadership inspired generations, and his name will forever be synonymous with Monaghan's proud footballing tradition.

"Nudie fought his illness with immense courage and dignity, just as he played the game – with heart and determination."

Provisional Fixtures have been sent out to counties a few days ago.

The sentencing of former Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey, who was due to be sentenced today for defrauding people by pretending he had cancer and seeking money for treatment, has been adjourned until Friday after the court was told he was in hospital.

Carey, with an address at Newtown, Maynooth in Co Kildare, pleaded guilty last July before he was due to stand trial. He admitted ten counts of dishonestly inducing people to pay him money after he falsely claimed to have cancer.

The offences occurred between 2014 and 2022 and involve 13 named people, including businessman Denis O'Brien.

This morning when the case was called, Judge Martin Nolan was told that Carey was not present and his barrister handed in a sick note to the judge.

Prosecuting Counsel Dominic McGinn said he had just received a photocopy of the medical letter, which said Carey was in Portiuncula Hospital.

Mr McGinn said gardaí had received information yesterday. He said they had called the hospital and were told yesterday that Carey was not an inpatient.

After further inquiries the court was told that Carey went into an emergency department on Monday but was not kept there.

Prosecuting lawyers said gardaí had been told that he was now back in hospital. He had not been detained but was waiting for a bed.

Defence Counsel Colman Cody said his solicitor had spoken to a nurse who said Carey was waiting for a consultation with a consultant but the nurse was not able to provide information about why he was in hospital.

Mr Cody said Carey had a history of health issues and had surgery last year for a heart condition and he was surmising that was the reason he was in hospital.

Judge Martin Nolan said he would sentence him on Friday.

The sentence hearing is expected to take around an hour-and-a-half and may hear victim impact evidence from some of those who gave money to Carey for cancer treatment that never happened.

Carey has been on bail in advance of the hearing

[I remember watching their canal boat show (very enjoyable actually)]

One of these shows the British Media tell you to like and it's a classic, always thought it was pure tripe.

Ah no, each episode  was 30 minutes of pure  mayhem. Not my favourite sitcom  but  it's up there.

She had dementia  for years.  I remember watching  their canal boat show (very enjoyable actually), and she  said she  had trouble  remembering things that happened that day, but could recite  lines and lines  of Shakespeare no bother. Strange  how the mind works

That was good viewing alright. She was diagnosed with dementia 12 years ago.

Johnny Cash among the hardest top 3 favourites to pick. For now I'll pick

Ring of Fire
It Ain't me babe
The man comes around.
