@Cathal_Dennehy with a time like that, he should be off to qualify for the real event at the next championships🧐

Sacre Blues!" The French director who edits all those dodgy TMO videos is clearly double booked

So the reason Leinster vs Toulouse, Bordeaux vs Northampton and Leinster vs Bordeaux all kicked off at 2.45pm is because the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival has coincided with the Champions Cup final since 2024! 😅

That's some explanation

WE NEED YOUR HELP!! Leon got heartbreaking news recently and has no more treatment options. When days get dark, we need to create light.

Leon loves GAA jerseys, all of them! Is there any way we can get as many counties to gift Leon a signed jersey from their team?

How is this not a free out for a throw ball ... or do they not exist in hurling any more? 🤔

Poor form of @dublinbusnews driver on 145 at Heuston this AM not letting @Luas customers use their Luas tickets on bus when there was major Luas breakdown. Many people didn't have change & forced to walk into city. Where's the integrated public transport @EamonRyan @TFIupdates

[Shane Scanlon @ScanlonShane]

@MickFoley76 As you well know, Kerry folk need room to breath and the West Cork crew are Kerry people in all but name as they love the 'caid' too - only jumping on the Rebel hurling bandwagon when they are/were winning😉😂

Sad to hear this: Eamon was the last of a generation of old-school GAA scribes. A craftsman with words, he was an excellent reader of the game who called it as he saw it. Also a fine singer, an abiding memory was his rousing version of 'Born To Be Kissed' - Ar dheis Dé🙏

[Mortimer Murphy(Murt) @MortimerMurphy1]

I am sad to hear of the passing of Eamon Horan of @kerryman_ie fame. He possibly never used a laptop but his reports back in day of Kerry games were so good that you imagined you were there. He was a brilliant wordsmith and last of his kinds - a few pints & Monday crafted poetry

[Shane Scanlon @ScanlonShane]

@oharaa whatever you do, don't order a Chinese or an Indian takeaway on the way home😉

[Shane Scanlon @ScanlonShane]

Very interesting insight here, though not sure it would pass today's PC police 😊
