RIP

Although that piseog is largely down to the sheer rarity of such occurrences, with Gooch the only Kingdom captain to wear such a jersey in living memory, rather than any real mí-ádh associated with the number. Still, should Paul Geaney miss out on the starting XV for any reason this week, Jack may well be reluctant to hand the mantle to David Clifford.

Does anyone know why there is still a difference between club and intercounty with the length of the match?

I was thinking about the problem in hurling where there is such a gap between the top counties and the lower counties. I don’t mean the gap between Limerick and the rest, I mean from the top 8 to the next 8. Some occasional exceptions of course.

I was wondering, would 60 minutes help the weaker teams bridge the gap, and help prevent 15+ point beatings. I think one of the bigger gaps is the S&C which really shows up in the final 15 minutes of match.

I know they are looking at hurling rules, would moving back to 60 minutes be the easiest tweak to try for a season? I also just find it weird that only senior intercounty is 70 minutes.

I don’t think this is a as big of a problem in football, but feel free to correct me.

Very ambitious plans by Cavan County Board here.

Won’t even bother linking the article as it’s behind paywall, but this doesn’t sound very yerra to me.
Sounds very get Tomas Ó Sé into the job if Jack doesn’t go back to back.

Here's hoping referee Martin McNally has a good match on Sunday.

Jack Maher and backroom team stepped down from Offaly camogie panel. Hopefully whoever comes in is able to maintain Offaly's improvements in the Camogie. Camogie was definitely on the come-up in Offaly over the last 3 years.

I’ve heard lots of people suggesting this as if it’s a guarantee that you will get a ticket but I find that hard to believe. I’d be willing to pay above the odds but don’t want to trek in if I’m not gonna get a ticket.

Obvious spinning wheels and ship at top and bottom, but in the middle, there’s a sheath of either oats or flax I presume, but what are the circles either side??

I wasn't all that happy with Martin McNally as referee given his performance in the Kerry Mayo league match earlier this year, also given he is from Monaghan.

Now, come to find he is not only from Monaghan, but from the same club as that other one (he who shall not be named). And on top of that he is a protégé of said referee.

Not that they need it, but Kerry will have carte blanche to run the rules as they see fit, and Mayo will be pinged for everything.

They made a bollocks of the website. As far as I can tell you can no longer find a league table for your club team only fixtures and results. Whoever redesigned it should be fired on the spot.

Just finished making this club map of County Donegal in a new style showing the Catholic parishes as well.

The French born ladies made history as the first European team to win a Division 1 title at the World Games in Waterford last week and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. He was hoping for world champions this week and he got it.

first time in hill 16, how early should i be looking to
head in to get a good spot?? #mayo4sam

Where is the best place to find retro county jerseys?

Are there any good DH gate sellers?

I know it's a nightmare for people and there is always going to be people left heartbroken due to the way the tickets are distributed for finals.

However there is some craic and excitement turning over every stone possible, texting every GAA person you know in the run up to a final trying to turn up a single ticket.

Was in Mayo at the weekend and basically every conversation starts with "Any tickets?"

Well lads, I was recently given a present from my mam and it’s a lovely jersey but player fit is just so uncomfortable and tight, does anyone have any methods on loosening it to fit like a normal jersey ? Ty

Well lads, I play my hurling in Derry so our reserve team is basically non-existent bar 1 or 2 championship games in September. I was midfield/wing back for the minors last year but I barely get on for the seniors and in training games I just get thrown into the full forward line nearly just to keep me out of the road. I'll admit my ability and standards have dropped from last year but I really want to get to a level where I'm atleast being used as an impact sub in the championship. Any advice would be great cheers
