I have to call my 87-year-old mother to tell her I was wrong and the Armagh game isn’t on the telly after all. I presumed the QFs would be.
She introduced me to GAA all those years ago with her passion but now she is denied. She doesn’t do internet.
It’s just not right.
Things that swayed both my no votes:
Listening to Carers
Reasoned statements by likes of Catherine Connolly.
Government letting courts define constitution.
Things that did not influence me:
The far-right, racist knuckle draggers

All the 'men' delighted Paddy Jackson and co got off. All the 'lads' with mothers and sisters delighted to call her a liar. These 'boys' need to take a long hard look at themselves if that's their thinking

I wouldn't open the curtains if either was playing across the road. I can not understand people hating on the joy their music brings to others. Some people genuinely hate seeing people happy due to their own miserable, pathetic lives.
I've never witnessed so many long-standing hurling fans without tickets for and

What did they want to achieve? Actually get hands on those women and children to 'stop them'? And to the guy filming with his toddler on his shoulder, you're a sad excuse of a parent.
With Shams losing and Sligo drawing HUGE win for

what a comeback. Massive three points.
Only three seasons ago, people wanted John 'long ball' Caulfield out.

went to a pub in Crumlin and smashed up the father of a notorious (pardon the pun) hitman. Apparently McGregor was 'off his head' too🙊🙈
I guess the headlines will be 'Dundalk were poor, what a shocker of a result' and so on, but please give credit to Galway. We've been magnificent tonight. Work rate has been off the chart. Better team throughout.

Lost some followers cause I dared to criticise our star player.
Let's double down. Galway fans should be waking this morning pissed off at a team that threw away an

title. Game was there to win. We won't be back at the top table for a while.
@ShaneBeattyNews
If Today FM mentioned EP yesterday they mentioned it a hundred times and how great it was, but not once broadcast an artist interview or gig or song from the festival. A missed opportunity.
If you're a Galway hurling fan and think D Burke's red card is the reason we are out of the Championship, you clearly have not been laying attention.
We have been dreadful all year.

And they wonder why it's half empty every other week. Cost of living in Ireland is still not discussed enough at government levels.
Replies to this. Journalists don't get it right all of the time but far fight headbangers literally frothing at mouth over whether he's Irish born or naturalised...sharpening their pitch forks...
He is Irish born and has mental health issues so they are naturally disappointed.
UPDATE: The man arrested over the incident at Parnell Square today was known to gardai and was just recently detained over a mental health incident.
He is from the Dublin 1 area and is an Irish citizen. Videos have since emerged of his arrest.
Amazing to think Tony Holohan and was being lauded as a hero, as little as 18 months ago. Offered the freedom of Dublin and even noted as being 'sexy'. It makes me angry thinking about that and his involvement in

Can't understand the vitriol launched at Bille Burns. He missed a kick? POM launched himself at someone's head. Sexton also missed a kick, which led to his KO. This is rugby. This is sport. It's not death. Layoff the lad.

It unnerved me seeing him go on CNN - right after the attacks - to say she's better off dead. Like what parent is glad their kid is dead instead of kidnapped. Did he not hold any hope she'd come back? Did he want her back?
Heartbreaking thinking about Mairead Meehan. Never knew her that well but being in the same school got to know her positive, bubbly, personality. Can't believe it's been so long since she passed.

Today I was driving through Salthill. I saw a long-base jeep make a beeline for a parking space on the prom on other side of road. It narrowly missed smashong an oncoming cyclist. One of those huge construction type jeeps like.
Cycled home through Galway today. 4 separate incidents in which cars either overtook me with no space or turned left while overtaking leaving me nowhere to go. Terrifying and insane. Not a cycling zealot by any stretch but couldn’t believe how unsafe Salthill in particular was
If this is it for Dundalk, nobody should be delighted about it. It's a warning to all other clubs how quickly it can go from great to bad to terrible in a short space of time. Questions need answers very quickly for their fans.
Would urge
#Galway
fans to not use terms like 'it wasn't our day' or 'hard luck'. Yes, Armagh were great but our main lauded 'star' bottled scoreable frees. Disgraceful really. Frustrating.

Incredibly sad state of affairs. If the 'adults' came out initially held their hands up & apologized this would be long over. But no, drag it out pretend you're innocent. Great Read though.
We've already taken in a stray ginger adult cat. Yesterday this little guy turned up. Anyone missing jet black kitten in

Unreal feeling. Our mobile team at EA Galway just won Best Small Customer Service team at the

Only in the world of Irish politics would you be rewarded with 300K per year, and allowed to keep it, despite clear attempts to destroy an innocent person character

The untimely passing of Sam Oji is a reminder - to myself mostly - to not sweat or worry about the small stuff. He was far too young and by all accounts a class act. RIP Sam. Condolences to your friends and family.
I love Eddie Vedder and all but that version of What a wonderful world by Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello was class. Great voices and harmonies.

I'm not fro the UK, but it's also because journalists and media will not ask the hard questions of any government, or make statements normal people are thinking about a situation.
The reason why the Lineker saga resonates so much across society is because we live in a time where there is very little real political ideology, compassion, humanism and solidarity. We're governed by people without hearts, or principles. Enter Lineker. Because no one else does.
