Teaches Economics & Business at Coláiste Iognáid SJ. Former Corofin & Galway player.

@RTEgaa Kerry's Marc Ó Sé also said on The Last Word on Today FM on Mon evening that it was - a definite free out. Does Kevin have to be right?
Just because he was the Co-Com at the game. Even D Maloney on commentary sounded very surprised by the decision. Kevin shut him down with gusto.

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

@RTEgaa Totally disagree with K McStay on his assessment that S Hurson got it correct in giving a free against J Daly. Have watched it 20 times. Daly was 100% fouled by K Spillane first. His arm comes in across the defender's chest and fouls him *before* Daly pulls his arm in. Free out.

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

Fair play to Sean Mul.

[Darren Frehill @Darrenfrehill]

Epic. Home the hero’s. Well done Sean Mulkerrin 🙌

[Owen Mulligan @owen_mulligan]

How was that a free in? Shocking decision 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

@Col_Iognaid_SJ @ECdePeelbergen Very well done Conor. Great achievement. When you told me in Economics class last Wednesday that you enjoyed "Show Jumping" - I did not appreciate how talented you were at it.
Very modest. And talented.
A good combo.

@GlenstalGirl Good stuff.
Terrific resource.
Thanks for sharing.
I am for anything that makes it easier for our students to understand what is going on in the real life and day to day Econs.
Thanks for sharing.

@Len4van @GlenstalGirl @BstaiCork @LC_Economics @bstaireland Very informative and worth while. Pat was super. Top man.

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

@jenoconnell @crankyoulwan Jennifer - just to say "well done" on a superb column. It was very thought provoking and rattled around in my head all day.
Your col has made me think about sexual harassment and violence and bullying in a diff way. Every father should discuss the topic with their sons.

If @20x20_ie is meant to actually be the start of something then we have to stop just paying lip service to it. PROMOTE IT EDITORS! How are our daughters expected to be inspired if there are no visible sporting female role models?

@mehalmac @TribesmenGAA Thanks Michael.
Cheers

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

Before the 2020 cty final - Want to say thanks to the Corofin players and Mgt team for some sensational days over the past 7 yrs. Against Nemo & Crokes they played some of the most sublime football ever seen.
The best club side ever. 4 All-Ire titles in 6 yrs. Great memories.

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

@PhilipBreslin Really difficult to call. Based on last Sunday's 2 displays I would go MM. However if Moy with Lydon and Clarke at 8 and 9 dominate midfield that all changes.
If I had to put €20 down - I would go MM x 2 points.
Hope Moy win tho as it would be their 1st senior title ever.

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

@donnellanaidan Thanks Aidan. Fantastic squad of men. And what a positive/winning/do your best -culture in the group. Do not see what they have achieved since 2013 being replicated in my life time. Corofin very fortunate to have lads like that helping out x underage. #topteam

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

This was written in 2012.
It is always easy to be wise after the event, of course - however Dublin have proven themselves to be some squad since then.
Six All-Irelands in 7 years is stunning record.

8 years ago. Giving out about Dublins defence of Sam!!

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

@mjoran Agree with you Joe. 100%. Talking sense as usual.

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

Fantastic effort x David Wynne - and with a bloomin drop kick!!! Outrageous.
#Moycullentrickshot

[Maigh Cuilinn @maighcuilinn]

And here is Dave Wynne with an outrageous shot which he got on his first go!
Surely needs to be considered as a @Galway_GAA forward with a left peg like that!

[Ray Silke @raysilke98]

Super writing.....great read. Captured what going to GAA matches is about.
Hopefully - we will get back to doing so with family and friends and Covid19 gets a Red Card.

Larry was some "shooter" in his day.
Absolutely Deadly.

[Ray Boyne @AnalysisGaa]

Patience.
Understanding between players.
Work the ball to the shooter in the best position...
