Would like the panel tonight to address why Jim McGuinness did not incur a 12 week ban for " a hand on a player" per the rule book while Ger Brennan was treated differently!
Kerry's macho score-settling cost them on the scoreboard
"It's clear now that there's a growing hatred between the two teams. The type of needle between two All-Ireland contenders that we haven't had since Dublin-Mayo a decade ago." @leeroykeegan

This must be one of the most demanding athletics disciplines, having to excel at five very different events. Well done to Kate O’Connor @irishathletics. 👇
@SuzyJourno Much criticism of MM comes from Northern Ireland. US is Ireland’s leading export market & if you take all aspects of US economic presence in Ireland into account it is 50% of the economy. Easy when your public services are not dependent to call it ‘grovel & grin’.
The past week seems to be filled with a lot of people passing away unexpectedly. Sad to see Dolores Keane has died. She had a tough life but shared her story to help others and she leaves behind a lasting mark on Irish music. Rest in peace.
All Ireland Colleges Champions! Fantastic win for Colaiste Mhuire, Mullingar. A superb final against a CBS Tralee team who fought back valiantly after a slow start. What a boost for Westmeath football. 👏👏👏
A visit to the White House puts any Irish Taoiseach in an invidious position. He must protect the national interest, yet nothing will satisfy the opposition. I thought @MichealMartinTD played an absolute blinder today. Pushed back, but in a balanced, intelligent way.
Lads, I don’t pay much attention to it but Vogue Williams is the St Patrick’s Day Grand Marshall. Surely to Jaysis, Charlie O’Leary should be the main man!
Pass it on!
Dublin's Archbishop John Charles McQuaid was as bad as the Ayatollah Khomeini, suggests Brendan O'Connor in the Sunday Independent. I don't recall McQuaid hanging homosexuals from cranes, but the Irish do love to claim worse victimhood!
I turned 100 today 🎂
My family is gone… so I made myself a little cake.
It’s quiet… but I’m still here, still breathing, still hoping for a little kindness. ❤️
If you see this, could you say “Happy Birthday” to me?
Sarah, always enjoyed your excellent presentation of GAA games on the BBC when the final rounds of the hurling & football championships are shown. Wish you well after your exit from X.
I grew up in the north when it was a sectarian state, and was regularly verbally abused and demeaned for my Catholic Faith. The south of Ireland is now, arguably, a more hostile place to be a Catholic than the north. https://t.co/qyJSC0MSSZ
Morning Sport on @SkyNews done ✔️ Honestly don’t know why I bother posting on here to get quite so much abuse from strangers but then I think ‘ I’m still alive and well so I am going to post - sexist, ageist, haters you do you’ . That’s it.
