Esther N McCarthy: The Baftas red carpet is boring and bizarre, but what brilliant night it was

1 month ago Irish Examiner

It's a bizarre thing, to be literally penned into an area with a little red rope separating us scummy journalists from the shining glittery stars. I ask them if they're press and one goes "Ooh, you're Irish!! Picture: Ian West/PA WireThis is my first red carpet, if you don't count that very poor choice of interiors styling for the front room in 2019. Florence Pugh, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Nicola Coughlan turned heads with their style on the Baftas 2023 red carpet. Esther N McCarthy was bowled over by the team behind 'An Irish Goodbye' at the 76th Baftas at the Royal Festival Hall in London tonight.

Rampaging Rooster Keary looks to build on Ireland debut against Lebanon

Luke Keary won over many new admirers following his eye-catching debut for Ireland and he will be hoping to impress a few more familiar ones when the Wolfhounds take on Lebanon in their crucial Group C clash in Leigh on Sunday. Keary, who won two caps for Australia in 2018, qualifies for Ireland through his grandfather, who hails from Loughrea in County Galway, and was keen to honour his father's roots. "He wouldn't say anything but I think he was pretty proud to see me run out in the Ireland jersey. "I know it would mean a lot to him and his family so it was pretty special having him there at the game. "It's definitely must win, we need to win two out of three to get through so it's a massive one."

Calvert-Lewin back to his best as Everton put Palace to sword

Everton 3 Crystal Palace 0Five months after scoring the goal which kept Everton in the Premier League Dominic Calvert-Lewin found the net again against Crystal Palace to help end a three-match losing run. But without that second goal Palace still posed a threat, especially down the left where Wilfried Zaha found himself up against a rejuvenated Seamus Coleman, whose perfect tackle early in the second half left the Palace forward fruitlessly looking for a penalty. Left-back Vitalii Mykolenko's shot from the increasingly influential Onana's lay-off was only half-saved by Guaita and Gordon followed up to poke home. Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye (Davies 86), Onana (Garner 78), Gordon (Doucoure 86), Iwobi, Gray (McNeil 73), Calvert-Lewin (Maupay 78). Crystal Palace: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Milivojevic (Schlupp 62),Olise (Mateta 62), Ayew (Ebiowei 75), Eze, Zaha, Edouard.

Keane again jumps to Ronaldo's defence insisting 'good players have done worse at Man United'

"I think good players have done worse things at Man United. Man United managed to beat Spurs as well last year at home when Ronaldo got a hat trick. But he was leading goalscorer last year for Man United. He went to a bad United team last year, a really bad team, and he was still leading goalscorer. Will he get back into the United team in the next few weeks before the World Cup?

Jake Carter: The person I turn to most in life is my mum. I still ring her every day

I grew up in Liverpool with my mum, dad, my sister Kiara who is two years older than me, and my brother Nathan who is eight years older than me. My mum and dad always wanted me to go on to University. Jake Carter: I try to [be careful] about what I say on social media, especially in this game. I definitely matured at a much younger age and got a little sense of what a life in music was like early. The person I turn to most in life is my mum.

Steve Davis ‘surprised’ as Wolves fans turn on technical director Scott Sellars

Wolves caretaker boss Steve Davis defended technical director Scott Sellars after Molineux turned ugly during defeat to Leicester. The Foxes ran riot to bag a 4-0 win and climb out of the Premier League’s relegation zone. Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes, James Maddison and Jamie Vardy scored as the clinical visitors netted with their first four shots on Sunday. I pick the team with James (Collins) and we make decision on the substitutions, there are no interruptions from Scott. “We have to be better with the ball and retain it better, make better decisions.

Aaron Danks happy to keep moving Aston Villa forward after Steven Gerrard exit

Aaron Danks is prepared to lead Aston Villa for as long as he is asked to after his memorable first game in temporary charge following Steven Gerrard’s sacking. Danks was handed the caretaker reins at Villa Park after Gerrard was fired on Thursday night and enjoyed the dream start as his side romped to a 4-0 win against hapless Brentford. “It has been a rollercoaster of a few days but my full focus was just on today’s game,” he said. “This club is steeped in tradition and history, it’s got a fantastic academy and we just want this club growing and moving. One thing is for sure I have a job I am happy for, I love Brentford, that is what I am focusing on.

Colin Sheridan: Cristiano Ronaldo primed to go supernova in Qatar

Last Wednesday, the James Webb Space Telescope released a picture of the cosmic landscape called the Pillars of Creation. He probably saw the picture and assumed the Hubble telescope had captured a snap of his ego. As Fred fumbled, Maguire mumbled and the club crumbled, Ronaldo still strode the offside line like an ageing movie star surrounded by amateurs. Next month, all eyes will turn to Qatar for the World Cup, just as they did Russia four years ago. It’s a tale worth listening to, not least because he reveals elements of his backstory many would be ignorant of.
