So my brother was playing in the Leinster schools rugby cup on Monday for my old haunt St. Michael's. It was an easy enough win, 28-7, and it was the post-match reports that provided most interest.
The Times produced quite a thorough review which praised Michael's. The Indo, on the other hand, raised a few more eyebrows amongst D4 mothers.

Its understood the reporter in question (unnamed in the piece) is an elderly man who allegedly arrived at the match rather inebriated. Either that or he chose to write in the style of Frank Gallagher from Shameless. In the article itself my brother is referred to as Mark Wall. This in itself is somewhat forgiveable, a case of mistaken identity, negligent as it is. But the old geezer goes on to call him C Waugh on the teamsheet below. Frank truly would be proud.
You know how the old joke goes...whats the difference between a shopping trolley and a journalist?
A: You can get more wine into the latter.
