  • Quinn pledges to 'live or die' by Keane

    Niall Quinn: stands by his man SOCCER: Even when banging the Sunderland PR drum Niall Quinn is realistic enough to accept that his club's return to the top flight could easily turn into a familiar struggle and, in preparation for such an eventuality, he has not only pledged to "live or die" by Roy Keane but says that if things do go wrong and the supporters call for Keane's departure, "they'll have to have me out as well". p

  • Maguire keen on moving forward

    League of Ireland: When the draw was made for the first qualifying round of the Uefa Cup the one apparent consolation for St Patrick's Athletic fans was that if their side did go out to Odense they would be able to concentrate on rediscovering their early season league form while Drogheda United, who faced rather more manageable opponents from San Marino, would be obliged to contend with wider-ranging commitments for at least a few extra weeks. p
