A BUSY summer of sport continues, with the Euros in full swing and the GAA continuing in earnest, while it’s not long now until the Olympics begin and the British and Irish Lions get their tour of South Africa underway.
As always, The42 will be here to cater for what promises to be an exciting few months.
This week’s edition of Behind the Lines will feature former Chelsea and Everton star Pat Nevin, who will be discussing his new book ‘The Accidental Footballer’ with Gavin Cooney.
We’ll also have the latest edition of GAA Weekly, with Kerry legend Marc Ó Sé, our GAA editor Fintan O’Toole and host Maurice Brosnan discussing the latest talking points from the leagues in football and hurling.
In addition, you can catch up with the latest episode of Rugby Weekly Extra, as rugby correspondent Murray Kinsella and performance analyst Eoin Toolan give their reaction to Leinster and Munster finishing their Rainbow Cup campaigns on a high, and much more.
There’s also plenty to get stuck into in our back catalogue, including Bylines: our new writing initiative in which we commission exclusive sports essays from some of our favourite authors, the Rise of Kenny podcast about the Dubliner’s journey to becoming Ireland manager and How To Win At Dominoes, in which Shane Keegan chats to some of the brightest minds in Irish sport and quizzes them on their coaching philosophies.

A good read. He did very well in the game and it was a shame for him that injuries shortened his career.
The 42 should stick to these wonderful articles that so brilliantly writtten, instead of any article that’s any way related to Manchester United or Liverpool because it turns into the same tit for tat from the same childish readers who claim to be adults. I’ll stick to the Athletic for the proper articles about the current league and stay here for these brilliant stories.
Great read, he seems a great lad too. One to keep an interest in in the future..
Great read!
Seems to have a very good head on his shoulders, and speaks well. Whatever about a shortened playing career, sound like he’ll have a long and more successful coaching one…
Great read. Went over to see him play at Bramall Lane, he sorted out tickets for us, top lad. Hope the coaching career keeps going from strength to strength.
Nice footballer, even nicer person, pity he did get a cap for us, deserved one
Great read. He has a great perspective. Hopefully he goes further in management than even he could expect too.
Ah derek mee ol pal,top man.hope ur keeping well & best wishes for the future,Ed Dunne
Really enjoyed the article, seems like a good lad. Seeing his name again reminded that he was always a solid purchase in Championship Manager 01/02, good attacking full back who could play on either side
Great read and top a bloke , also his dad is a gentleman, I used to let derek clean my boots at rivermount boys and st Vincent’s cbs

Good article and I’m delighted that he’s coaching, was a good player who I always picked up on Football Manager because he so versatile.
