Imagine the buzz when we're being managed by a 19 year old student for one game and a retired bus driver the next. Immediate sellout of Lansdowne.

We're all having a bad Heim.

Lazy, lethargic, disorganised, ill-disciplined, scared, non-dimensional, can't defend set pieces, can't attack from them.

The absolute nadir. Sack him before he hits the dressing room. #COYBIG

All the talk of VAR improvements and it's taken 13 minutes for them to drop an absolutely outrageous mistake, lol.

And, if that same side does not make the same allegation about the other four journalists, then it is borderline malpractice not to say "there are no allegations against the remaining four, making their killing a breach of international humanitarian law".

Gonna try and be as fair as possible here.

Journalists are not prosecutors and the bar for what we say or print is not as high. But.

If one side admits knowingly killing 5 journalists but says that one was terrorist, if you carry those words they have to be caveated with "without offering proof".

That's the other thing. It's a weird time for TV.

So proud of that Cork team, though. Absolutely scrapped and fought and deserved a draw for that alone, but wasn't to be.

One thing the Camogie Association really needs to do, though, is not throw in at 5.15pm on a Sunday. It was a pain of a time for me and I live in Lucan.

Once again home from Croker and gutted. But this time, in a completely different way, thanks sport!

The latest spate of attacks on Indian people is simply the outworking of a renormalisation of racism within our public discourse.

Paul Hosford: Attacks on Indian people come from the normalisation of racism

It is incumbent on all of us to speak out when dangerous narratives are repeated back to us, no matter how uncomfortable that may be

Think there could be something said for the semi final, but I don't think anyone could have lived with Tipp second half. It was genuinely insane how perfectly they played. Enjoy the celebrations!

Aye, a fucking horror 😂

Home from Croker. Gutted, gobsmacked. Still no idea what I witnessed second half. Tipp absolutely flawless for 35 minutes. Literally not a misplaced pass or ball at least spoiled if not won. Cork absolutely frozen. A breakdown of tactics and basic execution in the face of Tipp's swarming.

Just seems like a completely anticlimactic way to end a great game?

Generally a big fan of the new football rules, but the hooter is awful. Meath v Galway was an incredible game that was decided by waiting to take a free until it was about to blow.

I'm nearly 40, so even though I still play American football, the most taxing thing I can do to my body is stand for a full gig.

Dublin absolutely incredible. The grit, the bravery, the bodies on the line. Heroic stuff in an incredible game.
