"I can prove to you that the split season has grown participation but no one can prove to me that playing and All Ireland final in August will grow the game"
Game set and match by Paul Bellew.
Backing his argument up with numbers, something the other side can't do.
3 - Mohamed Touré is the first player to score a hat-trick on his first start in England's top four tiers since Jesse Lingard in September 2013. Strewth.
The GAA are doing a lot right recently
In the 90s they got huge stick (rightly) for the endless series of replays & refs playing for the draw to ensure another big pay day for Croke Park
Now people are complaining about a final being decided by penalties
Why not? 🤷♂️
It’s a skill is it not
Do you think players really want to do it all over again a week later
And fans can keep paying out for tickets/travel/food etc
And in such a condensed season
I think the GAA have got this one spot on
Finish on the day
There’s no cruelty about it
The team who take the better technical penalties and manage the situation better mentally, take the cup 🏆
Seems pretty fair to me

In four years, Waterford have won four championship games out of 16 with a -65 scoring difference. I’d hazard a guess that addressing those stats is the best place to start.
Cork and Waterford players have been training and preparing for a Munster Final and Munster Camogie pull it on the eve of the game over a dispute about the right to wear comfortable clothing as elite athletes? What level of insanity is this?
There will not be a more powerful few seconds in Irish sport this year.
Joy and devastation.
Love and heartache.
An emotional overload.
This is just too much.
Some courageous man, Conor Loftus.
When Donegal needed it most their excellent accuracy deserted them.
It's a victory for kicking football, long kickouts and traditional football.
We're in for some final now
🕯️John O'Mahony, R.I.P🕯️
We are deeply saddened to share the news that our former All-Ireland winning football manager has passed away 🙏
John guided Galway to the 1998 and 2001 All-Ireland SFC titles during a wonderful era.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
Full tribute to follow

“The lads are calling me Jim Hickey at training now and I think it’s a great compliment" - Páraic O'Loughlin on the moustache he is sporting for Movember.
O'Loughlin's role on the Clonlara team is arguably at his greatest in what is his eighth season.
