    Jose Mourinho last night moved a step closer to becoming Manchester United manager after Louis van Gaal’s turbulent two-year reign at Old Trafford was brought to an end. Saturday’s FA Cup triumph could not disguise a disappointing campaign in terms of both style and substance at Old Trafford, which will not host Champions League football next term after United stumbled home in fifth. Van Gaal paid with his job as United put him out of his misery on Monday evening, with former Chelsea manager Mourinho, who worked with the the divisive Dutchman at Barcelona, appearing a shoo-in for the vacated post.

  • Martin O’Neill: 'How can you possibly get bored at the Euros?

    Martin O’Neill has poured scorn on the suggestion he will have to guard against the boredom and grumbles that were supposedly rife among Giovanni Trapattoni’s Republic of Ireland squad in the lead-up and during Euro 2012, writes Brendan O’Brien. Ireland’s disastrous campaign in Poland four years ago, when finishing with the worst record in the history of the competition, led to a drip of stories about players reportedly disenchanted by rigid training schedules and an absence of down time. The Republic’s build-up to Euro 2016 in France began only yesterday morning at the National Sports Campus in Abbotstown, with 24 players free and fit to take part in the opening session. O’Neill was due to sit down with them last night to garner opinions on the weeks to come.

  • Germany's Bayer Makes $62 Billion Offer for Monsanto

    A few weeks ago, it looked almost inevitable that new Springbok coach Allister Coetzee would be kindly disposed toward Stormers players for his first national squad of the season to be announced on Saturday. Coetzee will be under pressure, as all fresh appointees to the unforgiving green-and-gold role are, to hit the ground running against Ireland in the three-Test home June series, and it is frequently the norm for men in his position to "go with who they know " initially before gradually embracing a more universal approach. Right up to the last three weeks or so, too, he would have looked quite justified in pinning mass faith in Capetonian-based stars for his initial plans -- much like Heyneke Meyer unapologetically did at the outset of his tenure in 2012 when he gave generous scope against England, in his maiden series, to Bulls players he was comfortable and familiar with. Before their not so merry month of May, the Stormers were looking very solidly placed not only to make the quarter-final cut but win Africa Conference 1, thus only underlining their reputation for being possibly the toughest South African nuts - whatever their shortcomings in an overall context -- to crack in the competition.

St Naul’s 1-10 Four Masters 1-10 For, the Stephen Griffin-inspired home side showed grit, Griffin supplied the grace notes, in a second half display that almost snatched victory from the yawning jaws of defeat. With 60 seconds to go of normal time, they were leading by a point, when referee Andrew Mullin awarded a questionable free to Four Masters.

Shown below, it is basically a map of every live stream going on around the world right now. My first impression was, “wow this is pretty neat, I like this!” but that soon changed somewhat.  I spent a good hour looking at the blue dots appear and disappear as people were going online to broadcast live. It is cool to have a visual live map of the current streams you can jump in and out of. I had a browse around some streams of people playing video games, people playing music and people just rambling some thoughts to the camera. There was a mother singing
