It's a big day in Maximum Media Towers, as we welcome the newest member of the family.
Say hello to our new bros at
SportsJOE.ie!
As the lads themselves say:
"The footballs have arrived, the bibs are ready and there isn’t a pothole in sight over here at SportsJOE Towers. Sport never sleeps and neither will we as we bring you the biggest and best sports website in Ireland.
"Sport is ingrained into every fibre of Irish life. Walk into a pub in any town in the country, stick around for ten minutes and you will be certain to hear a conversation about how the Kerry footballers are the cutest of cute hoors, Manchester United or Liverpool’s shaky defence, the latest victory for an Irish province or a sorrowful tale lamenting the demise of Roy Keane’s beard.
"We know that SportsJOE.ie will soon be part of those conversations.
"Because our aim is to bring you all the sport that counts; the moments that make you laugh, the incidents that make you despair, and all the content you want to share with your friends and family.
"And we will be the only sports site in Ireland bringing you all this 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As long as you have a device handy we will have top quality stories waiting for you.
"We know that sport matters in your life because it matters to us. We can celebrate great goals, tries and points and moments of amazing individual endeavour but most of all the sports we love are about bringing people together.
"And on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, SportsJOE will create a social media society bringing sports fans together like never before.
"We will have the best video, viral content and insightful stories. We will have star columnists giving unparalleled insight. We will have video diaries, stunning documentaries and the best digital content anywhere in the country.
"In short, we will be the starting point for all your conversations about sport.
"But most of all SportsJOE is going to be a celebration of Irish talent. The best of our wonderful sportsmen and sportswomen brought to you by the most talented young writers and multi-media producers in Ireland.
"And it will all be delivered to you in eye-catching and pleasing manner (a special word of thanks to the fantastic developers over at Square1).
"So whether you’re sneaking a look on your computer at work, on the couch with your iPad or lying in bed staring at your phone, SportsJOE.ie will be your first port of call.
"We believe that this a truly ground-breaking moment in Irish media. A multi-platform digital enterprise offering top quality content around the clock. Nothing of this kind has ever been attempted before.
"The adventure starts here and we hope you enjoy being a part of it."
So, whether your gaga for GAA, a football fanatic or mad for MMA, head on over to SportsJOE.ie today to say hello to the new home of sport in Ireland.
We're welcoming our new colleagues with a very special launch party tonight... we have yet to tell them about the mandatory dance-offs.
