Officials are having doubts about the Olympics taking place next year without a vaccine, French & Dutch have cancelled there leagues all professional bodies...Yet in Ireland some people are optimistic about playing club championship in August -Got to love how up beat Ireland are
The difference between drinking norms in Rugby and GAA... Out for a pint couple days before an International and willing to put it up on Twitter...the reaction if a GAA player did it would be definitely different
Incredible speech from a powerful leader - made me a proud Irishman watching it... Knowing we’ve a leader like that, makes it a lot more reassuring than watching the likes of Boris for our future after Covid 19

Former Kerry ladies captain Eileen Lawlor (Dardis) is the holder of 10 All-Ireland senior medals and a member of the Kingdom nine-in-a-row winning team.
A lovely interview with

.
Johnny Sexton with yet another head injury.With everything coming to light recently regarding head injuries and dementia. Irresponsible from him or perhaps IRFU for not telling him enough is enough??Surely his health is more important at this stage, he may regret it in the future
Christ... So Schools reopening soon with students beside each other all day but we aren't allowed go to a GAA game out in the open. That just doesn't add up
This would be great in
@MeathGAA
, lack of floodlight pitches maybe an issue for Friday games but think most lads would prefer Saturday afternoon games over Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon games are a horror
Speaking of the power of twitter, our club is bringing a motion to the
@Armagh_GAA
convention to move all club league games to either a Friday or Saturday night for the 2022 season and beyond. 1/2
What are they trying to do to the game at all...who even thinks up of these bizzare changes and more importantly who in their right sane mind think it will benefit the game in any shape or form
#GobSmacked
One of the most significant motions passed on Day 1 of
#GAACongress
2020 has prohibited Gaelic Football defenders who receive a kick-out from passing it back to their goalkeeper.

Wonder how will the media react over the coming days with the Eoghan McDermott issue? If those who slated Gordon brush over the Eoghan Mc sexual dealings with minors your a complete wrong one
It’s a real disappointment for virtual jockeys today - first time the Virtual Grand National ever been shown live on ITV and we don’t get to see the talents of Ronnie Alvarado & Wendell Wilson...these guys spent years winning all before them in Paddy Park
#JusticeforWendell
If RTE don’t start replacing the pundits on The Sunday Game, every so called die-hard GAA supporter that Joe Brolly keeps going on about, will be all switching to Sky. And good riddance to Joe
Superb day yesterday playing
@CartonHouse
O’Meara course, finished with 43 pts...very well handicapped for the big days - hips are stuck need work though
Spent the last half hour watching clips of Matt O' Connor Offaly, christ his skill was years ahead of anyone in his time! Must of been a absolute joy to watch him live
First time back in the office today in over a year. Although I've enjoyed working from home the past year its only when your back in the office how simpler issues can be resolved in person rather than setting up a call with them or just the enjoyment of a chat at lunch
Mo Salah is the most underrated goalscorer at the minute. Quiet, unassuming goes about his business and doesn't attract much media attention just scores goals, very likeable qualities
You just know anyone that tweets like this has never played sport before. Replies also full of Fifa players. Roaring at someone before they shoot is possibly the least abrasive comment that's made on the pitch and everyone does it, hence commentors laughing it off
All Iv heard this second half is the heat getting the blame for Ireland’s poor performance, terrible lazy commentary - Ireland have the superior players and have prepared for the conditions so don’t blame the heat for a lacklustre performance
One of the great GAA achievements by Meath Ladies 👏 probably a wild shout but does anyone know what odds they were at the beginning of the year? I'd imagine big outsiders possibly 66/1 or even 100/1
Fairly mental,
Maradona scored only one goal for Newells (Messi youth club in Argentina).
Messi scores identical goal last night for Barca and then proceeds to show he is wearing the Newells jersey under his Barca jersey to show he meant it and copies Maradona celebration
Running a Last Man Standing competition for

for the upcoming league...Prizes and rules highlighted in the photos. . All retweets are appreciated to get the word out
People are more concerned about someone sitting on a horse that has passed away than Princess Latifa who hasn't been seen since 2019 whilst been held captive against her own will and possibly getting punished daily for all we know, you couldn't script it really.
The only one's complaining of the split season is the TV pundits - few less weekends means a few less quid for them...I've only seen county & club players speak highly of it that they no longer have 4 week gaps between games. Scrap provincials and bring in Champions league format
Hard to see 2016 festival topped in the coming years...it had everything - This video does a decent job of summing it all up. It was special - if you aren’t looking forward to next week yet - this will help

Seen plenty 'Best 15 from a certain era' floating about in recent weeks but haven't seen the 'Dirtiest 15' team named yet?? Nothing irks a rival supporter more than calling one of their players dirty-a fine line between cute/dirty many will say
@SportsJOEdotie
@truefergallynch
Superb interview by both Ruby & David... Such great honesty from David and Ruby is a natural similar qualities like Tommy Tiernan when asking questions
Thought they might of changed the colour of the goalposts - very similar background, directly behind there's grey but from an angle you'd only see one post to shoot at... Very cool facilities all the same
Miserable weather outside, no problem inside the NUIG Connacht GAA Dome for the Leitrim v Sligo, FBD league game. A phenomenal facilty. See you at a match...

Denmark won the 1992 euro's after failing to qualify. Yugoslavia were disqualified, Denmark only found out ten days before the tournament.
#PointlessFact
Sickened to see
@Ruby_Walsh
call time on his career. By god was it some career to have. No one you rather your hard earned on than Ruby riding around Cheltenham, easily one of the most talented athletes of our time.
And we have it again on
@itvracing
. Talking fashion ten mins before the RSA, which they have yet to discuss in any kind. No talk of the favourite in the next poor stable form or anything. If anything was to drive you to Cheltenham it would be watching this
Great to be back at the Curragh today... But jaysus you'd get sick of wearing the mask all day out in the open air - surely that's got to change in the coming weeks
Gordon Elliott reveals that he'd been thinking about retiring Bless The Wings before his winning return to form today.
#RUKQuoteOfTheDay
Watch all the key interviews from Cheltenham in our interviews section ➡️
Sad day for Irish Racing.
@AtTheRaces
no more. Can't see
@RacingTV
devoting the same amount of time towards Irish Racing than what
@AtTheRaces
did for it.
The most pointless camera angle in any sport without question is when they zoom in on a golf ball mid flight, literally the most pointless thing imagineable. Can't see where it's going just staring at it mid flight 😅
“I wanted some answers, I flew to Portland..he assured me ‘these are just allegations, this is not true’...& he promised me. And that hasn’t been true”
Asked Mo Farah if he now accepts standing by Salazar in 2015 for 2 yrs after Panorama allegations was an error of judgement:
Obviously what Gordon did was wrong and no one condones it. But people seem more concerned about a horse that isn't with us anymore than a human being that is still alive. The world we live in really does amaze me, people need to get their priorities straight in life.
Three episodes into Full Swing
1) Explaining what the cut is every episode is tiresome
2) So much time each episode is spent on Private Jets & mega mansions further illustrating point they don't need LIV money
3) Brooks & Poulter just took the easy way out when not playing well
What's making watching Cheltenham at home worse is watching it on ITV, no proper review of the Arkle, ten minutes away from Ultima and they begin to talk about it after looking at cars in the shopping village. Comical stuff
Fancy owning a racehorse with Gordon Elliott, Aintree and Irish Grand National winning trainer with numerous Cheltenham festival winners.? Now's your chance, Contact me via DM for details. Draw taking place 28th of October.

Controversial Monday teabreak thought - Many people say Masters is an event they want to go to but more so from a been there aspect than anything else, Golf is probably one of the worst sports to attend live particularly big competitions
Are there any odds for a penalty shoot-out at the weekend for the All-Ireland Quarter finals...It's inevitable eventually with every journalist then giving out there's no place for them in GAA
@PPOffers
...Would love one Sunday at a sold out Croker
Just called into the bigman above to ask for a bit of help for the week
@punchestownrace
we’ll need all we can get! Hoping for a great week and hope everyone comes home safe🙏🙏🐎
One of the best threads iv read, anyone into sport on a technical basis will be intrigued by it all and how there is so much more than just going out and playing !
The full-length Tiger Roll documentary is here! This is a serious piece of television. You don’t need to be a big follower of racing to enjoy it, so do your duty as a racing ambassador and gather your family to watch it together. Watch it here:
Ryan is absolutely clueless in regards the Olympics and sport in general, asking a marathon runner that's only back running five years about her medal hopes and then expecting Ireland to bring home double figure medals
Oisín Murphy hadn't watched Hell Week or knew what it was. His agent is signing him up for anything that goes these days. Must of been cursing him silly throughout it
New update on Snapchat is shocking, they are more worried about revenue from ads than having a functional app ! Obviously understandable but needs to be user friendly too
