"title": "FAI Cup: St Pat's Stun Rovers With Extra-Time Winner",
"body": "St Patrick's Athletic came from two goals down to dump holders Shamrock Rovers out of the FAI Cup, winning 3-2 after extra time at Richmond Park thanks to a first senior goal from 17-year-old substitute Sam Rooney.\n\nThe Saints looked dead and buried at the break. Jonathan Afolabi and Michael Noonan had Rovers two goals up at half-time in a Dublin derby St Pat's had already lost three times this season.\n\nLuke Turner pulled one back early in the second half, and Aidan Keena forced extra time with a 94th-minute penalty. Rooney, a Tallaght native, then came off the bench to rifle home the winner and send Richmond Park into raptures, as detailed in The 42's report from Richmond Park.\n\nStephen Kenny told RTÉ Sport the win came down to character, and singled out his academy graduates.\n\nIt was down to the guts and determination of the players. Credit to the players who came in from our academy, Ryan Sheridan and Sam Rooney. Sam got the winner which was great to see.\n\nRovers, with a Conference League play-off first leg against Finnish side KuPS to come on Thursday, made eight changes from the side beaten in Albania in the Europa League qualifiers. St Pat's made just one, bringing Kian Leavy back into attacking midfield after last Sunday's win over Shelbourne -- another of the League of Ireland sides in Europe this season.\n\nThe result knocks out the holders and puts St Pat's into Tuesday's Club Orange FAI Cup quarter-final draw. \"It gets you into the quarter-finals, but that's all it gets you,\" Kenny said.",

"title": "Five medals, one wall: How roommates Mona McSharry and Ellen Walshe inspired each other",
"body": "There were Walshe's golds from the 200m and 400m individual medleys, alongside McSharry's silver form the 100m breaststroke and bronze from the 200.\n\n\"That was the extra reminder,\" said Walshe, \"when we left the door close: 'Can we bring another one home tonight?'\"\n\nAnd so they did. McSharry made it five when she claimed bronze in the 50m breaststroke. Walshe came oh so close to making it six in the 200m butterfly. Five medals for Ireland at these championships. Five medals for the roommates.\n\n\"There's been some jellies, biscuits - you have to have something with your tea at night!\" McSharry revealed about her week with Walshe.\n\n\"It's amazing that we're able to have each other at this point. We know that we want a room together. We know each other so well. That just takes out a little bit of doubt when we are away to these competitions because it's a long week.\n\n\"Knowing that you have a room you can go back to where you can be quiet or you can be chatty or you can complain if you want to for a second; then know that they are going to listen and then be like 'stop that' and kick you out of it.\"\n\nWalshe said there had been \"a couple of books, some TV, and loads of chats.\"\n\n\"It's just been very special,\" she continued. \"I think we're well able to get each other to that racing mindset which is hard to do when the days go on, you get more and more fatigued.\n\n\"It's hard to stay focused but I think we did a really good job of it this week and just tried to help each other be like 'No, come on we do have this'.\"\n\nMcSharry produced the performance she wanted in the 50m breaststroke, smashing her Irish record by going under 30 seconds for the first time. Her 29.95 was just 0.02 behind gold medallist Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania.\n\n\"I saw the three little red dots on the block and I was like 'oh wow I actually did it',\" she said.\n\n\"I felt really good in that one. I think the heats and semis felt a little off in the first 25. I was like 'I just need to trust myself and go for it' and I did. It just shows that you know you're never out of the race.\"\n\nWalshe thrilled in both of her gold-medal swims, moving from the back of the field to the front over the closing lengths with the help of her powerful underwater work off the turns. In the 200m butterfly final, that nearly happened again as she moved from sixth to fourth, finishing just 0.19 off the bronze medal.\n\n\"It definitely stung the back end and I just didn't have quite enough to catch the Spanish but look I'm absolutely delighted,\" she said.\n\n\"I've been up the top of all my events this week and that's unusual. In an international meet, you need to be primed for all them.\n\n\"I've done 2k in racing. I can feel it today and listen it's been incredible. It's something I probably could only ever dream of, standing on the podium not once but twice and hearing the anthem.\"\n\nA busy week concluded with McSharry and Walshe joining Lottie Cullen and Grace Davison to take nearly three seconds off the Irish 4x100m medley relay record, finishing sixth in 3:57.26.\n\n\"We were at that four minute barrier for quite some time and it's really exciting to be able to drop it by three seconds,\" said McSharry. \"I think it just shows where swimming is going, which is really exciting.\"\n\nWalshe added: \"It was nice to get out there with the girls. We had good fun in the call room, just singing and dancing and planning our outfits - they all matched... ish. It was a great way to finish and we all performed to our best tonight.\"\n\nNext week, McSharry, Walshe and Ireland teammate Danielle Hill will travel around the country putting on clinics for young swimmers.\n\n\"It's great to give back to the sport,\" said Walshe.\n\n\"That was us one day, that young kid, teenager with a big dream. Even just to teach them something small, even just believing in yourself, it's whatever they take away from it. We're super excited to get out next week and travel around Ireland.\"\n\nMcSharry is excited for their \"little road trip\".\n\n\"Being able to bring [the medals] and show the kids 'This is what you can do if you commit to it' and letting them ask us any questions is just really exciting,\" she said.\n\nTheir road trip goes international in October when they compete on the three stops of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan.\n\n\"We're going back on tour again, off to some cool places!\" said Walshe.\n\n\"Another three weeks. We're travelling with two of the British girls as well. There's going to be a lot of fun and we're super excited to build through the weeks and just have a blast.\n\n\"Last year was absolutely incredible, great success and also just a great learning experience along the way as well and a lot of travelling.\"\n\nThe medals will be coming off the wall and returning home but the roommates will be staying on tour.",

"title": "Colin Sheridan: Celebrate Irish medals - but the work that went in by our athletes too",
"body": "Track athletics is different. For Rhasidat Adeleke, years of work eventually came down to 21-point-something seconds in Birmingham on Thursday night. That was it.\n\nAll the training. All the strength work. All the recovery. All the nutrition and physio and sleep. All the injuries avoided or managed. All the flights and camps and lonely sessions. All the sports psychology and visualisation and microscopic adjustments to technique. All the doubt. All the sacrifices made by an athlete still only 23 years old.\n\nTwenty-odd seconds. And then we decide whether it was enough.\n\nPerhaps that is worth remembering after an extraordinary week for Irish athletics at the European Championships in Birmingham.\n\nMark English is a European champion at last. Adeleke is a European silver medallist over 200 metres. Kate O'Connor is European heptathlon champion. Andrew Coscoran produced one of the most gloriously improbable finishes of the championships to take bronze in the 1500m.\n\nWe are becoming spoiled. That is wonderful, of course. It is what successful sporting generations do to us. They recalibrate expectation. Things once regarded as extraordinary slowly become expected.\n\nBut there is a danger in that too. English's gold might have looked almost inevitable by the time he entered the home straight in Birmingham, but nothing about the journey towards it was inevitable.\n\nHere is an athlete who was a prodigious junior, who became a doctor while simultaneously becoming one of Europe's finest middle-distance runners, and who has spent more than a decade returning to championship starting lines.\n\nHe won European bronze in 2014. Another bronze came eight years later. Silver followed in Rome in 2024.\n\nAnd now, finally, gold.\n\nThat progression - bronze, bronze, silver, gold - looks beautifully linear written on a page. Sporting careers are anything but.\n\nThen there is Adeleke. Perhaps because she became so good so young, we have forgotten how young she still is. Perhaps because her talent is so obvious, some people have begun treating victory as an obligation rather than an extraordinary possibility.\n\nAnd perhaps there is something else involved too. She is a young Black Irish woman with an extroverted personality who wears emotion openly, and there appears to be a constituency -- particularly in the darker corners of social media - for whom whatever Rhasidat Adeleke does will somehow never quite be enough.\n\nEven silver. That is not legitimate sporting scrutiny. It is cruelty dressed up as analysis. Adeleke does not owe us gold medals. She doesn't even owe us the role-model status we have understandably conferred upon her, although she continues to carry that burden with remarkable grace.\n\nShe is one of the finest athletes Ireland has ever produced, operating in an unforgiving sport where you can prepare impeccably for months and still discover that somebody else has prepared impeccably too.\n\nAsk Keely Hodgkinson. Not long ago, the British Olympic champion was contemplating the outer reaches of what is humanly possible over 800 metres. In Birmingham, she ran 1:55.01 in a European final. It wasn't enough. Audrey Werro ran a championship record 1:54.81. Silver. That is athletics.\n\nWhich brings us to Andrew Coscoran. Watch his 1500m final again and freeze it with 100 metres remaining. Then try convincing yourself that the Irishman is about to win a medal.\n\nHe came from seventh with 200m remaining. Even RTÉ's excellent Greg Allen, having a championship almost as good as some of the athletes themselves, initially struggled to spot what was materialising. Then Coscoran appeared. Through traffic, around bodies, finding fractions of space while travelling at extraordinary speed after almost four laps of racing. Bronze.\n\nThere was something almost clandestine about it. And maybe that is what has made Birmingham such compelling television. Athletics exposes the absurdly fine margins between triumph and everything else. A championship appears on the calendar. You know exactly when it is coming. You build towards it for months, sometimes years. You try to arrive healthy. You try to arrive fit. You try to sleep properly the night before. You try to control nerves. You try to execute a race exactly as imagined.\n\nAnd standing beside you are seven or 11 or 20 other people who have organised their lives around doing precisely the same thing.\n\nThen the gun fires.\n\nThere are no mulligans. No back nine tomorrow. No second leg next week. Just the moment. Perhaps that is also why athletics retains such a peculiar ability to inspire children. They watch Adeleke or English or Coscoran or O'Connor and the distance between spectator and participant seems wonderfully short.\n\nYou don't need a golf course or a tennis court or 21 other people.\n\nYou need shoes, and somewhere to run.\n\nIreland should celebrate the medals won in Birmingham this week, whatever Sunday's final tally ultimately becomes. But we should celebrate something else too. The staggering amount of work required simply to reach the starting line with a chance. The medals are precious precisely because the margins are so cruel.\n\nMourinho a special manipulator\n\nJosé Mourinho is back at Real Madrid just as Netflix invites us to spend three episodes remembering why football once seemed incapable of looking away from him. And perhaps still can't.\n\nThere is plenty to admire in Mourinho. The trophies make any argument about his place among the great managers rather redundant. Porto. Chelsea. Inter. Real Madrid. Two Champions Leagues. League titles in four countries. But the documentary also reminds us of Mourinho's greatest gift, beyond coaching football teams. Manipulation.\n\nAt his peak, nobody did it better. Mourinho manipulated the media, understanding that journalists who believed they were interrogating him were frequently being used to deliver whatever message he wanted carried into the world. He manipulated opposition managers. Opposition players. Referees. His own players most brilliantly of all, creating enemies outside the gates and convincing those inside that it was them against everybody. Sometimes it was magnificent theatre. Sometimes it was considerably uglier.\n\nThe documentary's revisiting of Dr Eva Carneiro is worth remembering in that context. In 2015, Chelsea's first-team doctor went onto the pitch, alongside physio Jon Fearn, to treat Eden Hazard after being summoned by the referee. Mourinho was furious, publicly criticised his medical staff and Carneiro's first-team responsibilities were subsequently downgraded. She left Chelsea weeks later. Mourinho still presents his version of that story. Of course he does. That is almost the point.\n\nEven now, watching a documentary made about José Mourinho, you can occasionally feel José Mourinho attempting to manage how you watch José Mourinho. Which is why his return to Madrid should be welcomed, at least by those of us in the headline business.\n\nFootball is more entertaining with him around. Just don't mistake entertainment for innocence. The Special One was many things. Perhaps the most special was his ability to convince us that his version of events was the one we should remember.\n\nFarewell to an Offaly Rover\n\nThere was something wonderfully of-an-era about Pádraig Horan. A giant of Offaly hurling, in every sense.\n\nHoran captained the county to its first All-Ireland title in 1981 and belonged to that great generation of hurlers who played without helmets, whose faces consequently became as familiar as their deeds. And what a face Horan had: formidable, weathered, unmistakable.\n\nHe won another All-Ireland in 1985, an All-Star, 10 Offaly titles with St Rynagh's and later managed his county. At his graveside in Banagher this week, old comrade Joachim Kelly sang The Offaly Rover. It was difficult to imagine a more fitting farewell.\n\nBuffalo for Sam\n\nIf Mayo taught us anything this summer, perhaps it is that sporting curses are only curses until somebody finally ignores them. Which brings us to Buffalo. The Bills have never won a Super Bowl, famously losing four consecutively between 1991 and 1994. Since then, generations of supporters have inherited the mythology, heartbreak and fatalism. Sound familiar?\n\nYet the 2026 season arrives with Josh Allen, now 30, still around the peak of his extraordinary powers and Buffalo once again among the contenders. Mayo didn't need to become invincible to end 75 years of hurt. They just needed, finally, to be good enough. Buffalo, take note.",

"body": "Soapy suds slathered across wet skin. Flesh pressed against flesh pressed against glass. The shower is and always has been cinematic shorthand for steamy sex, and as a result is something every sexually curious person has tried.\n\nThe trouble is, the camera lies.\n\nFor a start, for it to be comfortable, you need a lot of silicone-based lubricant. Experienced couples keep industrial quantities of Sliquid next to the shampoo, but for most, shower sex is a \"spontaneous decision\" and so they approach it unprepared.\n\nIt tends to happen when relationships are relatively new and couples are learning about each other by working their way through the sexual curriculum. They'll do all the positions and all the places, and at some stage they inevitably end up in the shower.\n\nIn the cramped space of your typical one-metre glass cubicle there isn't much room for manoeuvre, and it's not particularly warm. The average shower head has a fall of about 30cm, so one person gets the full force of the warm water while the other shivers, getting only the occasional splash.\n\nStill, the optics are great so you press on.\n\nAs you attempt intercourse you realise that the soapy water has washed away all your natural lubrication. It is at this point that you learn that shower sex feels like being internally sandpapered.\n\nBecause you don't want to wimp out -- after all, shower sex is brilliant, isn't it? -- you bite your tongue, but you rapidly realise you are more likely to tear your vaginal wall than have an orgasm.\n\nShower sex is, as you say, overrated, awkward and uncomfortable, but many women don't confront that elephant in the wet room directly. Instead they find ways to avoid having sex in the shower.\n\nI don't believe that is the right strategy, because it allows the myth that shower sex is amazing to perpetuate, so if I were you I would be honest. If he remains keen despite your objections, insist he stocks up on lubricant -- obviously, if that doesn't help, it's a no.\n\nThe alternative if you are looking for a change of scene from the bedroom is to steer him away from the bathroom and into the kitchen, which has just as much sexual potential. Food and sex are and always have been deeply intertwined.\n\nTaste, smell, touch and sight play roles in the enjoyment of food and physical intimacy, and aphrodisiac foods such as oysters, sashimi, strawberries, champagne and chocolate have ancient associations with sexual arousal and intimacy.\n\nAphrodisiac foods can be shared, squished and licked off skin, and sex is the sweetest dessert. Food sex is much more creative and far more enjoyable, although you may need a shower afterwards.",
