Where the hell am I, and how did I get here?!

Mayo for Sam.

@offtheball @MovemberIreland Hey @offtheball @EoinSheahan another great opportunity to have Joe Brolly on to advise us all on a culture of failure as we walks from knockmore ladies a week out from championship?

[Praetorian Pek @PekJorkins]

I guess society at large has simply decided sex crimes are no big deal. Like shoplifting a candy bar

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@tonyleen I feel this will accelerate discussions towards gaa starting to pay players. Very little incentive for top talent to stay, put their career and ability to make money on hold to slog it out for their county for nothing. Its more than a club comp issue.

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@RefComeOn Claremorris & South Mayo full of underage talent, but it’s Ballina, Knockmore & Cross who produce it at senior. Why can’t south mayo clubs bridge that gap? Is it culture, coaching? Mayo losing out on a lot of talent.

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@John_Kavanagh @gardainfo Are you ok @John_Kavanagh ? Calling for maximum sentences and convictions one day and promoting convicts for president the next? Embarrassing.

[Mayo GAA @MayoGAA]

The family of George Brennan, Claremorris,have issued an urgent appeal for help locating him.

@AdamMoynihan Seen a Kerry jersey at the athletics in budapest last night. There was also a Mayo jersey there cause it was me wearing it 😄

@TomasORuanaidh Time for a power rankings shakeup @TomasORuanaidh surely?

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@MaireTNC @JoeBrolly1993 Not sure about well written @MaireTNC ... but at least he wrote about it https://t.co/5kEQrffr4T

[Sinéad McGarry @Sineadmcgar]

1) No doubt a tough & emotive piece for @JoeBrolly1993 to write. I'm concerned by his view that it is harmful for children when women share their stories of domestic violence in a public sphere, as a/c Brolly 'there is no protecting them now.' https://t.co/Sh8XMiGZib

@AdamMoynihan Whatever "stepping back" means

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@Score_Beo Whats the difference between stepping down and stepping back?

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@AdamMoynihan Ya, a different day and a different result would be ideal! 😄

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@EndaMcGearty What was your take on the ref enda? Mayo need to look at themselves aswell on how they could have broken armagh momentum in last 10 but thought Kelly had a shocker. Is it becoming impossible for refs to manage games on their own?

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@ConanDoherty Finally some decent analysis FYI @OffTheBallAM

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@OffTheBallAM @MeathGAA @moylesiea @GilletteUK Analysis on all other sports is great, why is gaa punditry so rubbish?

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@OffTheBallAM @MeathGAA @moylesiea @GilletteUK Jesus lads, is there no one better out there than moyles? Analysis is 😴 O'connor gone? 4 debuts, mcbrien marked comer out of it but no one new for champ? With this nonsense,you could record the same 15 mins for every round and just play it now. Snorefest

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@gav_is_gone @AdamMoynihan I still haven't lost hope for a replay

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@AdamMoynihan So im very much partisan on this but I'd be interested in your opinion Adam. 2017 AIF, Dublin go a point up and throw every Mayo player to the ground for kickout.. fundamental break in rules or champions mentality playing on the edge?

[John Macken @aenghus84]

@TomasORuanaidh I'm surprised they managed to fit both egos into the same room
