“For this is MacBride’s town too. Maud Gonne’s MacBride. A leader in the Easter Rebellion, a Boer War campaigner. He made a poem out of war, speaking the language of Maud. Poor Yeats! He lost her. His diction was softer.” - from “Westport”

James Good Of the articles which follow, some few remain in my files because I did not succeed in getting them published. The majority were never submitted for publication, while some few are in a kind of no-man’s-land – sent to a publisher and never even acknowledged. An occasional one may have been printed without my knowing it. All in all, writing articles and seeing them in print is a joyous, fulfilling experience. A writer hopes that his joy at seeing himself in print is somehow shared by his readers. With this double purpose in mind, I have put together this collection of pieces written over the years but – as far as I am aware – never appearing in print.

100 Years of FAI Cup Referees and other stories
Liam Gavin
In the first hundred years of the FAI Cup, just 81 referees handled the 128 finals, (including replays and one year in which there were two complete competitions). As well as 60 Irish referees, 20 Englishmen, and one Belgian took charge of the games. They included the man who refereed the first World Cup Final, the referee for the first European Cup Final, and one referee who believed in carrying a gun in his pocket.
