Mayo ladies saying their unhappiness with manager affected their mental health is an example of the dangerous blurred line between the emotion of depression and the illness. I'm sure everyone feels depressed at times. Confusing that with the illness is irresponsible and ignorant- Bought tickets for Croker Sat eve on Ticketmaster, €45 each. Good value imo for two huge games. Next step now seems to be to claim the day cost me about €900 and blame the GAA...
- GAA handed over grounds to be used as testing centres, mobilised volunteers to help tens of thousands of vulnerable people. Clubs raised millions for frontline workers etc during lockdown. No other sporting body could have done this. They're well entitled to ask questions.
- I think Mayo have a huge chance this evening. Who's with me?!
- This Saturday is Cavan's fifth match in this championship against Div 1 opposition. Meanwhile, if Kerry win, they'll be in an All-Ireland quarter-final without having played a single Div 1 side. Mental, really.
- Delicious plot twist 🤣👏Big congratulations to our deserving winner of the All Ireland Hurling Final Tickets, Seán O'Brien — a builder from @kilbrittaingaa in West Cork! Wishing him and his family an amazing day at Croke Park this Sunday as they cheer on the Rebels and thanks for entering our draw.
- In the last eight years Terry Hyland has won two Ulster U21s, reached All-Ireland SFC quarter-final, won promotions from Div 4, 3 and 2 and an All-Ireland junior. And has been a gentleman every step of the way. Not bad for a man who a lot of dummies in Cavan constantly criticised
- Re-watching the Ulster final again... Oisin McConville is the best analyst on TV at the minute imo.
- Why is golf still banned? It's an outdoor activity in which people naturally socially distance anyway. Clubhouses closed, no flags etc, so you touch nothing only your own gear. Members only (within own county/20km usually), pre-booking to strict time slots. What am I missing?!
- Cavan could get promoted from Div 3, beat Armagh in Ulster and still not get into Sam Maguire. Leitrim could be in Sam by staying in Div 4 and beating NY and London in Connacht. Mad.
