    This is beyond belief. The 1920 AI semifinals: Dublin v Cavan; Tipperary v Mayo. The 2020 AI semifinals: Dublin v Cavan; Tipperary v Mayo.

    1. 104 years ago today, at 3.25pm on Nov 21, 1920, police opened fire on a crowd of 15,000 people at Croke Park watching a football game between Dublin and Tipperary. These are the 14 that went to a game and never came home.

    This mighty little man joined us last night at a minute past midnight, ushering out one difficult year while reminding us of the possibilities the future always holds, however bleak the present might seem. Life always goes on. Happy new year everyone!

    There’s 155 members in Mullinalaghta. Barely 100 adult members. They can just about field a full minor team with Abbeylara. Conan Brady, the corner back, has been commuting from the uk to play matches for 8yrs. Just inspirational stuff.

    Must be said, Jon Snow had a stinker tonight. Spent most of the night flying about. Got lost. Crashed a dragon. Needed his aunt-girlfriend to bail him out. Tried to reach Bran. Failed. Ended up curled into a ball before deciding to fight a dragon by roaring at him. Roaring, like.

    Just testing out a reference here, if I said Statler and Waldorf to you in terms of people sniping/criticising, do they ring a bell? No googling!

    Our eldest lad got a couple of euros from the tooth fairy last night and has decided how he wants to spend it. A small reminder for us at home to look after what these little ones see and hear in times like these, and to talk as well.

    Four years on and I still don't have the words to fully express what it was like to be in Croke Park on that night. To see Croke Park in darkness apart from the flames and Brendan Gleeson telling the stories of the 14 is a feeling I'll take to the grave.

    21st November 1920. In 90 seconds, 14 people lay dead and mortally wounded on the field and banks of Croke Park and on the streets outside. Today, 104 years on, we pause to remember them all: the 14 who went to a match, and never came home. #GAABelong
