We’ve had some phenomenal sports stars in Ireland & hugely popular ones but its fair to say
@ShaneLowryGolf
is arguably the most popular! Why?? Because he’s a sound man
The national league is back this Saturday & Sunday but nationally we aren’t allowed visit another house hold 🤯🤯🤯🤯
but the guts of 90/100 people will assemble at 15 venues all over the country
I was never good at maths but that seems like a woeful contradiction 🤷♂️
I can just picture Shane Kingston sitting in behind the wheel in the car tonight & as the father sits in he hands him MOTM award “put on the belt there & hold that da like a good man”
Hurling changes all the time new systems come in as do set ups sweepers 7th defenders goal keeper quarter backs crowded midfields 2 in the full line whatever but refusal to accept defeat & spirit & heart & work rate to the bitter end are the foundation!
Brian Cody’s Kilkenny 👏🏻
Rob Hennelly has had a fair few moments of heart break & disappointment throughout his career but that free has surely wiped the board clean
Respect to the man 👏🏻
Huge fan of
@BrenMaher8
top quality on & off the field a genuine leader with a grounding & humility for young lads to aspire to
today he cemented his place as one of THE greats of the game
WHAT A SCORE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If there was 1 Tipp man we’d have loved to have in kk it was Brendan Maher pound for pound the most important player for Tipperary since 2009
Humble consistent & a real leader
Big boots to fill
Is there anything worse than lads on a gaa pitch who play act feigning injury and so called sports men actively calling on a ref to send an opponent off
The absolute shame of it
Some role models for kids in their club
Surely consideration should have been given to have the Leinster final played in tullamore or Portlaoise create an atmosphere
Croke park was soulless & empty yesterday
So now we’re collating data on what people eat but sporting events are still held behind closed doors
U15 county final in kk & only 1 parent allowed attend an outdoor event
I’m all for safety but surely decision makers need to be challenged just a fraction
I’m wearing this jersey for Laura, for her family who are left behind and for all the young people who have a chance to get the vaccine and be protected from the HPV virus. Let’s stop HPV and

I wonder will NEPHET be monitoring the volume of people hitting dundrum blanch kildare village the crescent shopping centres etc and enforce the same restrictions seeing how 5000 is all can be in thomand park like outdoor events are lethal in fairness
Rant over now 🤯🤯🤯🤯
“the club is the most important part of the GAA”
With out doubt The most abused & go-to phrase we hear so often from the top table rings very very hollow yet again
It’s a pity we don’t have some form of acknowledgment for services to hurling
Sir Cyril Farrell
Love listening to him talking hurling
Ya can hear his love for it in his voice
So knowledgeable on the game
#legend
Less than 34k at an All-Ireland semi-final should prompt a serious conversation at GAA HQ. Starting with price. €50 per stand ticket is pushing things. Not justified when players are amateur
Tom Morrisey not even nominated for hurler of the year
What the actual F#€£
One of THE most influential players in inter county hurling
#assistking
2020 surely has been a mad year
In the interest of a good comparison or contrast why haven’t the
@TheSundayGame
showed the penalty call Clare had just seems an obvious example of application of consistency
'It was very humbling that they all made that time for us' - Paddy Stapleton talks about a Tipperary v Kilkenny charity match for his late sister Amanda.
So this is where Richie Hogan took a hurl to the faceguard from Cathal Barrett, had his nose split and had to leave the field briefly for a blood injury. Two sides to every story?
That’s great news from Stephen Donnelly we are the most comprehensive country in the EU for hotel quarantine
12 months later
We’re sorted so everybody can relax now
Congratulations to
@NedzerB13
for winning our July Manager Moment of the Month! The manner in which he re-focused Laois after winning the Joe McDonagh Cup was remarkable. A week later they pulled off the shock of the senior hurling championship when Laois beat Dublin
#EirGridGAA
And there’s youngsters who have attended all games gonna get nailed for 90 when the corpo brigade turn up & just get scuttered que the “grass roots being catered for” mumbo jumbo line
The vast majority will continue to pay the price for the reckless selfish & irresponsible behaviour of the minority Until we all start calling out & highlighting those who are
Full lockdown is on the cards for us all otherwise
Since the 50s 10 players have won an All Ireland scoring a goal in every game.
@SeamusCallanan
all the more impressive because of the amount of games he played! That Nicky Rackard must’ve been good 😜
David Fitz loves to play the victim when it suits him. He’s far from a victim in how he behaves behind scenes while fronting to the media & I can personally attest to that. Hope someone in media has guts to ask him hard questions now. Always the victim, never your fault David.
Ah no GAA fixtures people
Ye not seriously gona leave the ballyhale v ballygunnar fixture where it is
Write it down read it 5 times & go again 🤯
Come on now
Obviously I'm biased... but for me a good football game trumps a good hurling game everytime.... That game in Newry looked an absolute belter, with a cracking atmosphere...
We have endured economic collapse recessions with political corruption & the greed of the wealthiest at the centre of it. Then in a global pandemic we get a brief glimpse of some proper leadership & governance!
Normal service appears to have resumed
Goose & gander & all that
It doesn’t matter now it was clearly wrong but the man still had to suffer the embarrassment of being shown a red & sent off
Please officials unless you see it 100% clearly don’t guess or reckon it happened
Would it be too much to ask that an opponent man up & help official
How can the governing body completely abdicate their responsibilities here?? Put Glen in a horrible position
Surely it calls into question they’re ability & fitness to function at all
#noballs
at all
Why have rules at all
Surely if the GAA make a ruling on yesterdays club football final then Crokes must forfeit the game for fielding ineligible players. Glen will be champions.
Can’t see it happening but they have no leeway just to call a replay.
Crokes are champions and should remain so
Hard to know if there was a better out & out inside forward than Seamus Callanan 40 championship goals through a period of massive evolution Often double marked & massive traffic
2014-2019 he was unstoppable
'We have no choice [but to move on]. Anything else is self-indulgence and pity. I've no time for that' 💭
No excuses from John Kiely or Limerick after their narrow All-Ireland hurling semi-final defeat to Kilkenny at Croke Park 🎤
@MaireTNC
What’s changed in Offaly??
Looks like the top table drove standards & leadership underage teams in both codes are delivering silverware consistently in a short space of time
Very impressive
Jesus no Brendan or Paudie Maher in Tipp team for the first season since 2009 when they arrived together big big boots to be filled
Paudie an ever present name in the team sheet never found wanting or one to stand back
Justice done to Tipp major calls went against them massive respect
Hard luck to Wexford massive performance but faded for last 10mins heartbreaking stuff
#gottalovethehurling
A first touch, and then a second touch straight out of the hurling heavens 😍😍🤤🤤

@CratloeGAAClub
was up to some ridiculous goings on earlier 🔥🔥
What composure, what a goal.
