This has to the the worst idea and the greatest load of nonsense I've ever heard of

All the good players will go playing soccer where they can play competitivly and I wouldn't blame them

[Declan Bogue @DeclanBogue]

BREAKING: Proposals will go ahead to change rules and make teenage games non competitive in new report going to the GAA.

Wooly read a stat on Nemo Rangers record in Munster and could hardly believe it - W52 D3 L5

Have you ever seem a more obvious square ball 😀

Just to avoid any confusion...

He was in the square when the ball was kicked, he was in the square when the ball entered the square and he was in the square when he made contact with the ball.

He basically never left the square at any time 🤣

Gowna's control of the scoreboard against Crossmaglen has tightened further thanks to Conor Madden's goal

"It was just a chat myself and Ephie had last year, he was understanding of the decision and we just left it at that.
There was no need to be making big statements, there wasn't anyone going to be too concerned about it"

Jason Curry confirmed his intercounty retirement on the show this morning.

A class player who played his entire career in division 4 and gave serious commitment to the Waterford jersey.

He's a dairy farmer who tried to juggle milking cows and farming with training for little thanks.

There'll be no headlines for him unfortunately

Crossmaglen would give you a heart attack

@JP_Mc_C @GreenandGold97 I took one of the lads off for doing it in the first game

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

Tommy Griffin over 25's champions again

I played in 2 games, went for a 2 pointer and pulled the quad

It's a young man's game 😁

"We must change bonus territory to once in a life time opportunity"

Bonus territory is the cliché used for clubs not used to winning county titles when they start their provincial competition

"I wouldn't be huge into numbers, i'd be a cut off the old block"

Johnny Coen is from an era where he still appreciates dropping the ball low and setting fire to it

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

So i see Pat denied he's on the official backroom team.

He is working with them though...so maybe we could say he's on the backroom teams 'extended panel' 😀

My source is still good 👊

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

I hear Pat Gilroy has joined the Armagh backroom team

Good move by Geezer, Gilroy is a proven winner.

He'd also be a fan of the kickpass 🙌

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

Great to chat to Johnny Coen, a brilliant player for Galway and still going strong with Loughrea

- 3 in a row for Loughrea
- Losing 5 finals before winning one
- Not much into stats, likes a long ball & shoulder 🙌
- Mr versatile for Galway
- Midfield partnership with David Burke
- 6 weeks off now

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

This is an interesting one because he was first choice last year when Joyce got injured

Cork must have a good full back coming through or are Daire O'Leary and Joyce the two options?

[Paul Dollery @PaulDollery]

Damien Cahalane has been informed that he is not part of Ben O’Connor’s plans for 2027. https://t.co/4LZOEhsVzL
