Proud Galwegian. Will ramble on about anything, but particularly #GalwayGAA. Follows or RT are not necessarily an endorsement. All views are my own.

@brettruganalyst Brilliant finish from Noah Byrne. There was not much on when he got that ball.

My main hope for Catherine Connolly’s Presidency, is that she presents several All Ireland titles to her native county 💪🏻🇱🇻

[Andy Mitten @AndyMitten]

Liverpool 1 Manchester United 2.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

Second half was somehow even worse.

[Balls.ie @ballsdotie]

The worst first half Ireland performance since...?

@GalwayCamogie96 Best of luck on Sunday @GalwayCamogie96 🇱🇻🇱🇻

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

My club…. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Football at its best.

Last Friday, 11 fantastic kids from Galway Autism Partnership walked out as mascots with the @GalwayUnitedFC team.

Sometimes the smallest gestures can have the biggest impact. This one proved that.

@Shane45935970 We can get back there. I’ve never seen a collapse like that before from Cork. Just incredible.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

@peterswellman Appalling performance. Somehow managed to be worse than we were in the Leinster Final. Passing, touch is way off it. We could be gone for a good while.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

Galway were so disappointingly flat for the vast majority of that game. Only rallied when the result was as good as gone. Massive improvement required in two weeks if we’re to prolong our summer.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

@m_brosnan Wouldn’t be a shock at all.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

@peterswellman Realistically, we’re a good bit off it. Rebuild mode for Galway this year.

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.

Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.

Support local, not the billionaires.

I’d rather the club stayed at the current site and redevelop OT. History and heritage matter. But it is slowly growing on me. Like the tridents. Very unique. As it should be.

[Paul Manc Bald and Bred @MufcWonItAll2]

The more I see it, the more it's actually growing on me, it will never be Old Trafford, but I'm slowly coming around to it.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

@GalwayUnitedFC An absolute joke of a decision. Hickeys arm never leaves his side.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

What an absolute joke, that’s the ‘three up rule’ gone so.

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

The other main FRC change is they've relaxed the 3 up infringement. You won't be penalized if

- have done so unintentionally
- are within 4m of the half way line
- are not interfering with play, 
- are not interfering with an opponent, and
- are not gaining an advantage

Call it the Mickey Harte amendment 😁

@PRO_Galway_Ball @ConnachtGAA @MayoGAA Teamed rain in ‘99. The day of the infamous row at ht. ‘97 was a baking hot day. Mayo were one of the top teams in the Country at the time. But we were coming…

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

@KillianM2 I’m in that crowd with my blue & white stripped @ManUtd jersey on 😂😂. Remember the game well. Played in the roasting hot summer of ‘95.

[Rob McNick @rob_mcnicholas]

He’s not wrong.

@Shane45935970 When was the last time an All Ireland finalist had only one All Star awarded to them?
