Qarabag show class to ruthlessly punish Shels at Tolka

Qarabag rolled into Tolka Park and left with a professional, and impressive, 3-0 victory to leave Shelbourne with an enormous mountain to climb in the Champions League second-round qualifiers. Reds fans were hoping to summon the spirit of '04 when they famously turned over Hadjuk Split at this stage of the competition. Dave Rogers, scorer of a memorable goal that night, was on punditry duty for Premier Sports here, but the standout performer in the decisive opening period was a man with a more tenuous link to that occasion. In 2013, seven years after he guided Shels to the brink of the Champions League group stages, Pat Fenlon brought Abdellah Zoubir to Hibernian on loan from French side Istres. Here, the now 33-year-old showed why Fenlon had such faith in his ability. He ran the first half, helping to set up Leandro Andrade's 13th-minute tap-in. Shels twice hit the woodwork - Sean Gannon going incredibly close early on, Paddy Barrett hitting the bar in the second half - and were better on the turnaround. But late goals from Oleksii Kashchuk and Nariman Akhundzade deflated the atmosphere as Qarabag efficiently exposed a gulf in class. Qarabag, still in pre-season, tuned up for their trip to Dublin with friendlies against FC Twente and RB Salzburg at the picturesque 500-capacity Alois Latini Stadion in Austria. Quality opposition no doubt, but not quite the surrounds to prepare you for a partisan Tolka Park. Still, the Azerbaijan champions have far too much high-level European experience to be easily shaken, and they took this contest by the scruff of the neck pretty much from the off. Zoubir oozed class on the left, twisting the guts of Sean Gannon early doors before fizzing a low strike inches past the left-hand post. Things looked ominous in an opening bossed by the visitors, and yet Shels will still be wondering how they didn't break the deadlock in the seventh minute. A deep corner fell to Ali Coote who drove in a cross that Kameron Ledwidge connected with. His header ricocheted into the path of Gannon, and his bobbly strike kissed the inside of the post before Akhundzade booted it off the line. Gasps of frustration around Tolka; gasps that soon turned into groans. Four minutes later, Zoubir slipped a cute pass into the stride of the overlapping Tural Bayramov down the left side of Shels' box and his low cross was knocked home by Andrade. A bad start got worse just before the 20-minute mark when Tyreke Wilson slipped awkwardly, yelping in pain as he hit the turf. Wilson was carried off, later going down the tunnel with his left leg in a brace. It didn't look good. James Norris entered the fray but the tide of Qarabag attacks continued to flow. Akhundzade drew a sharp save from Healy with an angled drive; from the resulting corner, Zoubir clipped in a cross that Akhundzade opportunistically volleyed onto the crossbar. Soon after, Zoubir again found Akhundzade, who this time thumped in a shot that Healy batted away. Shels tirelessly tried to plug the gaps their fluid, technically excellent opponents routinely opened up. After Bayramov's fierce left-footer whistled just wide, Shels headed for the dressing-rooms to reset. On came Mark Coyle for Gannon – who was on a booking – but it was Qarabag who stayed on the front foot, Emanuel Addai drawing a full-stretch save from Healy with a firm header. After that, momentum changed. Shels were more direct, more aggressive – and they started to get some joy. A plasingly simple passge of play led to their best chance: Caffrey's diagonal to Norris, Norris' cushioned volley to Kerr McInroy; McInroy's first-time looped cross towards Wood. Qarabag were exposed, but Wood rushed his effort, fresh-airing an attempted volley. It was, however, a genuine moment of encouragement for the reigning League of Ireland champions. Coote then picked his way through the heart of the Qarabag defence, playing a one-two with Wood and seeing his deflected left-footer dip just over the bar. Coyle left a bit on Zoubir in the 68th minute, moments before Norris and Dani Bolt both steamed into a 50-50. Bolt came off the worse for it, but Shels won the free-kick, which almost led to a leveller when Barrett bent in a cross-come-shot that smacked off the upright. Shels huffed and puffed. Qarabag kept them at arm's length. Nine minutes from time, the killer blow. Kady slipped a lovely through ball for Bolt to chase. He lifted a little chip over the onrushing Healy, with his effort bouncing off the post only for Kashchuk - who'd only come off the bench a couple of minutes earlier - to knock home. It got worse in the 85th minute when Ledwidge misjudged a header back to Healy, the ball sailing over the keeper's head and allowing Akhundzade to gleefully finish off. That was harsh on Shelbourne, but they at least have the cosiderable safety net of the Europa League football qualifiers to drop down to should they fail to ull off a miracle in Baku next week. Shelbourne: Lorcan Healy; Sean Gannon (Mark Coyle HT), Paddy Barrett (capt), Kameron Ledwidge, Tyreke Wilson (James Norris 18); Kerr McInroy, JJ Lunney, Harry Wood; Alistair Coote (John Martin 66), Ademipo Odubeko (Sean Boyd 77), Evan Caffrey (John O'Sullivan 66) Qarabag: Fabijan Buntic; Dani Bolt, Bahlul Mustafazade, Matheus Silva, Tural Bayramov; Pedro Bicahlo, Kady, Emmanuel Addai; Leandro Andrade (Olexiy Kashchuk 77), Nariman Akhundzade (22 87, Abdellah Zoubir (capt, Elvin Jafarguliyev 87))

Tom Dunne: Moisturizer from Wet Leg already feels like my album of the year

Urban Outfitters, Temple Bar, Dublin, sometime last week. I am in hell. Somehow tricked into accompanying my teenage daughters on a clothes shopping expedition. The music playlist is saving me: early Stones, Velvet Underground, CSNY. It is now heaven. It reminds me of similar shops in Manhattan in the mid-1990s. The clothes were the same, vintage T-shirts and hoodies; the staff were the same, uber-cool tattooed people; and the music was the same. The only thing changing is me. I am about to point out this out to my daughters when something new comes on. It is Wet Leg. Of course it is. It fits right in. It's new and yet it isn't. It's part of that lineage, the new iteration. And it is class. I liked their self-titled debut, but this new record, Moisturizer, leaves it in the dirt. It is instantly my new favourite album of 2025. Over to you CMAT to knock this one off the top. It could yet be the BRAT of this year. Rhian Teasdale isn't Charlie XCX, yet but give her time. The emergence of Teasdale as the all-conquering, star, front woman, slayer of arena audiences has been one of the most fascinating developments of the last few years. When Wet Leg arrived in 2022, she and bandmate Hester Chambers looked positively rustic. Theirs was – and yes, I sought help with this bit– a bohemian aesthetic, vintage style white dresses with Doc Martens. There were even cardigans. But not anymore. At some point you got the impression Teasdale was enjoying the attention, and then some. If you'd missed them since 2022 you might have asked who is that onstage with Wet Leg at Glastonbury? The prairie dresses were gone. Teasdale looked toned and confident, there were new tattoos, a crop top, bleached eyebrows. This was Teasdale 2025, a fully empowered rock icon. Wet Leg 2.0, welcome to the Colosseum. Wet Leg Version 1 appeared to have just fallen from the skies into rock indie stardom. Formed on the Isle of Wight, they say, on the top of a Ferris Wheel at a music festival, it all just seemed too easy for them. Chaise Longue was the first single and an instant smash, the first indie band 'overnight success' in a long time. The debut album won two Brits and two Grammies. They toured with Taylor Swift, were covered by Harry Styles, won an Ivor Novello award, and played on Jimmy Fallon. They toured that album for the guts of three years. If they had emerged from that time with no new songs it would have been no surprise. But they didn't. They booked an AirBnB last autumn and started to write. The result, for me, is the album of the year. Two things happened to facilitate this, apart from Teasdale leaning into Front Woman For The Age status. Firstly, they spread the songwriting burden to all five members of the band. Secondly, Teasdale fell in love. Her new partner, identity not revealed, is nonbinary. I don't know how that feeds into this, but it does. Wet Leg recently released Moisturizer. The songs are spectacular. Yes you can trace their lineage via the Velvet Underground, The Pixies, The Breeders, Franz Ferdinand, the Arctic Monkeys and Alvvays, but so what? That music style might provide the ingredients, but it's what you with it that counts. And this is where Teasdale's new relationship status comes up trumps. A 'love-inspired' album could be sickly sweet, but not when it is still in the chemical, all new, crazy passionate phase. I'll let Teasdale herself paint those pictures, and they are not for the faint-hearted. But God are they great. These are songs written in the heady first days of a new love. You can feel the danger, the intoxication, the passion, the fun. It's note perfect. A love you may not survive but which you feel inclined to take your chances with. It's game on, see you on the other side. The album never lets up. It is the Rubber Soul of indie music 2025. There are no weak tracks, 12 potential singles. The Velvet Underground and bands since have developed the perfect template for this type of music, but it's what to add to that gives it the X factor. The 2022 debut was described as the kind of album that would illicit an approving text from your dad. I'd write more but I have to find my phone. I have a text to send.

GAA apologise to Kilkenny for scoreboard error in All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Tipperary

Kilkenny have received an apology from the GAA for the scoreboard error in the closing stages of their All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Tipperary earlier this month. Various stakeholders in the county have been informed of the correspondence from Croke Park, which expresses regret for the mistake that impacted the conclusion of the game that Tipperary won by two points. Kilkenny and Tipperary were of the understanding that the latter were four points ahead after Noel McGrath's 70th minute point attempt. The shot was waved wide but the scoreboard counted it as a point. Following a Jordan Molloy point in the second minute of additional time, Kilkenny went in search of what they thought was a required goal to force extra-time when they were in fact only two points behind. Kilkenny, it is understood, wrote to Croke Park seeking clarification about the matter although a replay was never in question. The county's officials have refused to comment publicly on the matter and Tipperary manager Liam Cahill complimented the county's dignified stance. 'Like ourselves, if Kilkenny don't win it on the field, they ain't going to bring it to the boardroom, that's for sure.' On the evening of the game, the GAA released a statement acknowledging the error. "The GAA can confirm that the official score at the end of the Tipperary v Kilkenny GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championship Semi-Final was 4-20 to 0-30. 'The GAA acknowledges there was confusion over the final score. The CCCC (Central Competitions Control Committee) is awaiting the full referee's report in order to establish how the initial mistake occurred." Speaking last week, the GAA's national match officials manager Donal Smyth said the error was down to a combination of factors. "It was a mixture of stuff. The time of the game probably didn't help. So at 69 minutes we had a Kilkenny sub, at 70 minutes the ball went wide, we had a Tipperary sub at the same time. "We didn't notice the scoreboard had changed in relation to that (McGrath's wide). Then the difficulty is we didn't get a break in play to stop the game to check the thing. "We've changed our processes last week and our protocols around that, so it's something we just have to work on." In the aftermath of the game, former GAA president Nickey Brennan said his native Kilkenny as well as Tipperary were due an apology. This past weekend, Kilkenny great Henry Shefflin spoke on The Sunday Game about how 'baffling' the communication was around the controversy. He added: "There hasn't been much noise about it and it seems it's just moved on'.
