Premier League star wows thousands of fans as he plays guitar on stage with the Kaiser Chiefs at huge anniversary gig
THE Kaiser Chiefs pulled off the loan transfer coup of the summer - in front of thousands of delirious fans. 4 Patrick Bamford seemed to enjoy his cameo almost as much as winning promotion back to the Premier League... almost! 4 Kalvin Phillips tagged in Patrick Bamford and Middlesbrough's ex-Leeds hero Luke Ayling in his Instagram post 4 Bamford made a crowd-pleasing appearance Bamford electrified the atmosphere at Leeds' Temple Newsam still further as the crowd loved his surprise cameo.

Relief for Pádraic Joyce; one that got away for Paddy Tally
Pádraig Joyce and Paddy Tally had mixed emotions after an All-Ireland group stage clash that swung one way, and then the other, before ultimately ending in a draw. Derry upped their performance from last week's defeat to Armagh and looked like they were going to hold on to win the game before Matthew Tierney fired home a late goal for Galway. The Tribesmen then conceded the last score of the game - like they had against Dublin last time out - and had to settle for a share of the spoils. The Oak Leaf County led by eight with just over 20 minutes to play but, with their season one the line, Galway found a way. Instead of being out, they now face a clash with Armagh, who have already qualified for the quarter-finals, in a repeat of last year's All-Ireland final knowing that their fate is in their own hands. "Relieved to get out of there with a point the way we played," manager Joyce told RTÉ Sport afterwards. "Obviously being six points down with six minutes to go, we just showed good character to stick at it. A bit of Hail Mary stuff, but look, delighted to still be in it, involved in it. "We take a point and it gives us something to play for in the last game, but overall wouldn't be happy with our performance at all. "We seemed to panic a bit in the second half there. A lot of wild shots; someone's just said there we had 16 misses at the goal. So look, we need to look at that." Moving one ahead it looked as if Galway were going to win the game, but Derry weren't to be denied. It was something which particularly frustrated Joyce, with its echoes of the loss to the Dubs on day one. "The way the game has gone, you never have enough done," he added. "Eight points down it was looking very bleak for us, no doubt about that. But we clawed it back and then we were a point up again. "Just like Dublin the last time we didn't learn to force the kick out - to press it - and then we let them in for a soft score at the back end to level the game. "At that time, you take the point at that stage [with] the performance we put in. It wasn't enough to win the game, to be honest, and fair play to Derry. "They brought a lot of fight to the game and that's what a proper championship game is like. "We need to win the game [against Armagh]. We have two weeks now to dust ourselves down and get ourselves ready, work on a few things and away we go." Derry will hope Armagh do them a favour against Galway, but they know that a win against Dublin would guarantee them a place in the knockout stages. While it leaves them in the same boat as the Tribesmen - with their destiny in their own hands - manager Paddy Tally felt they should have taken more from today's game at Celtic Park. "In one way I feel really disappointed we didn't win the game," was Tally's summation. "But geez, we played really well today. The last goal, a scramble goal... definitely one that got away. "We shouldn't be losing that lead. Galway asserted themselves in the middle of the field. They got the run on us and they got a few handy scores. "I thought for a few of their scores we hadn't an awful lot of pressure on them so we'll have to look at that. But that was disappointing, we should be closing the game out." Pushed on whether his side had failed to manage the game with such a big lead, Tally added: "That was a crazy game. Kickouts were going long around the middle. "There was a lot about who could just get the hands on the ball it looked at times that we were going to get away and get scores and then somebody would fumble a ball. "It was difficult conditions out there as well. Both teams served up a real good spectacle, as such, but it doesn't take away from the disappointment. Eight up, you should see that game out. "It doesn't change things. We were always going to have to go to the last game after losing the first match. We had to go and get something out of the last two matches. "It's in our own hands, we have a chance. We've got to beat Dublin in the last game."

Armagh give wasteful Dublin a hard lesson in the new world order
All-Ireland SFC: Dublin 0-19 Armagh 0-24 Kieran McGeeney was asked if he felt Armagh are a better team this season. The manager of the All-Ireland champions took a philosophical approach to answering the question, but seemed to say it's too early to tell. 'As you know, it's like everything else,' he said. 'All the writing is done at the end. No matter what I say now, no matter what you say, it doesn't make any difference. It's always the final chapter when it comes to sport that determines the content of the book. 'You look at it from a different perspective when you're the last man standing. In sport, unfortunately, that's the only way it goes. I more than most would know that story all too well.' McGeeney was speaking after his team had comprehensive seen off Dublin . The five-point winning margin did not do Armagh justice. From the moment Rian O'Neill dropped a two-pointer over the bar at the start of the second half to push the margin to six, Dublin never got closer than five and the margin extended to eight at one stage. READ MORE The result was enough to guarantee top spot in Group 4 with a match to go. Their last match in the group comes against Galway , who they beat in last year's All-Ireland final. McGeeney pointed to Dublin's profligacy as a concern for him, as more accurate finishing on their part might have changed the complexion of the game. Dublin manager Dessie Farrell sighed when asked about his team's extravagant rate of wides - 18 plus four dropped short. Farrell said: 'I think in the first quarter we were quite clinical, but then lost our way for some reason and we never really regained our composure. [We] struggled to get momentum, outside of a period in the second half where we got at the Armagh kickout. 'That gave us a very good platform, but we failed to convert and execute from that platform, so that was very disappointing. And then, perhaps some decision-making around shot selection, chasing the game, chasing two-pointers that potentially we would regret now.' The loss to injury of captain Con O'Callaghan was a major factor in the team's poor shooting stats but he was also missed in terms of presence and leadership. Dublin will need him back on the field for the decisive match against Derry in two weeks. A good phase at the start saw Cormac Costello in sharp form, with three points from play. Dublin led 0-6 to 0-3 by the 11th minute. Paddy Small kicked in a couple as well but the wides had started to roll even by that stage. Armagh found their rhythm, helped by their successful attack on the Stephen Cluxton kickout – which the veteran goalkeeper redeemed with a couple of fine saves from Oisín Conaty and Andrew Murnin. Bit by bit, they turned the screw. Rory Grugan, who had an excellent match, kicked a two-pointer, Conaty, O'Neill and Conor Turbitt also got in on the act and they finished the half strongly to lead by four at the break, 0-13 to 0-9.

Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho Already, it looked a steep climb for Dublin, particularly given their inaccuracies. Farrell's men did little to help themselves. The second half was marked by three breaches of the 4v3 rule, which handed an already superior Armagh the equivalent of a goal. 'It just shouldn't be happening,' said Farrell. 'Whether they're marginal calls or not, we shouldn't be putting ourselves in that position.' He added a different technical breach, after a mark, had cost them a further two points. Armagh were superior in how they stitched together moves and above all, in how they finished them. During his absence earlier in the season, it was remarked that O'Neill would be an obvious beneficiary of the two-pointers. Against Dublin, he demonstrated why people held that view – raising the roof with his first in the 27th minute as his county's sizeable contingent in the 38,763 crowd signalled approval. As Farrell indicated, Dublin started chasing two-pointers. Sadly for the Sky Blues, they lacked cohesion in their approach to such a tactic. Seán Bugler, Costello and Small got one each but also missed plenty between them. In O'Callaghan's absence, Dublin don't have too many two-pointers up their sleeve Armagh continued to work the scoreboard. Ethan Rafferty, on an excursion from goal with Paddy Small chasing, kicked a point from play to highlight the disparity between the teams' scoring capacity. [ The Schemozzle: Tiered hurling system sending ill-prepared counties round in circles Opens in new window ] [ Monaghan turn seven-point deficit around to beat Clare in Clones Opens in new window ] McGeeney reflected on the recovery from losing a third successive Ulster final and suggested that as All-Ireland holders, their priorities may have been re-ordered. 'Was it easier than last year? It depends. The provincial titles for me meant a lot when I was playing. They were hard coming, they were the big things. I think things have changed. I do think people are pushing for the big one. When you get it, you're looking for another one. 'I know all the players wanted to win that [Ulster] final when we were there. They still want to win one, but they still know that in sport it's always about the big prize. That's what you're pushing for the whole time.' Farrell's views carried a more bleak tone. 'We were chasing them and that becomes too hard,' he said. 'Sometimes you can chase and get to grips with it and get yourself back into it. But one or two players that we needed something from – we needed a score or two from - they just never came and the gap was always too big. They were able to ride it out in the end.'
