I bought and read Shane Ross's book about RTÉ as soon as it came out. This proved a waste of time and money. Link to a review in the following post.

@trickyflea Take it up with the Irish Times so, I didn't write it.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

"You can’t hope to win an All-Ireland if you almost throw away a 12-point lead against an inferior team"

Mayo 12 up with 20mins left and win.
Armagh 7 up with 15mins left and draw.

"They only scored five points in the last 25 minutes."

Armagh 0-5 in last 25 mins v Monaghan...

Darragh Ó Sé: Mayo showed exactly why they’re not serious contenders against Monaghan https://t.co/UXnGNiBmae

@clarke_ian We will never be left judged normally again unless we win the thing.

@JoeDev579972 I don't think anyone is disputing that. But it's an issue for all teams now - we saw it happen Meath against Cork, Galway against Roscommon. Mayo left themselves open to way too many goal chances but the goalkeeper is there for a reason too.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@anspailpin @pebblesmeller We're contenders because we're in the competition like everyone else but no one is expecting us to win it out. If Mayo get to a semi-final in the management's first year then that's a successful year. Even a quarter final is an improvement which is what we are looking for.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@Mangan_1886 So why are Mayo being compared to them? Maybe reading comprehension is beyond you? Should I make the words smaller?

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@MAYOMADnotblog1 100%, it'd be great to see them get to a quarter final and build from there for next year. No one is expecting too much more.

@Superrossies Allowing him just to write to an agenda is no use to the reader.

[Podge McG @PGNWTLOI1D]

So the potential clash has been known since December & the draw has played out this way

🏐 Galway v Westmeath for Salthill the same weekend ⚽ #gufc v Dundalk is due to be on

Radio silence from both as to where the game will be played

[Maurice Brosnan @m_brosnan]

"I'll stop you there now, Joe. Fitzy looks a super player. Not a foot put wrong today. Stuck to his assignment manfully throughout. Attracted attention without getting involved in any drama. He's a big summer ahead of him."

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@GAAjuggernaut @Mayosupporter But how is it fair in Round 2B?

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

Are Mayo the only county that want an away game in the next round?

[Kieran McCarthy @KieranMcC_SS]

The draws for Round 2A & 2B of All-Ireland SFC will take place on Tuesday morning, on RTÉ Radio 1 as part of Morning Ireland, after the news, at 8.30am.
Why not have the draws tonight live on The Sunday Game, instead of on a Tuesday morning?
Make a big deal about the draws, instead of tucking them away on radio. I don't understand it.
Need to do better here. Promotion leaves a lot to be desired.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@mossy1951 Exactly same as that. Thought it was over, looked back, it was wide.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

Umpires consulted, the man in the best position called it, ref was right there too. Non-story, move on.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@meouldstock 100% they didn't want to make it clear and obvious. Poor.

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@r_carragh Unfortunately it wasn't clearly

[Cormac O'Malley @cormacpro]

@RoryLarmer The far side umpire did make the call. You can see the near side umpire look at him.
