@Patrick49972910 @GerryCu58302876 @Ceanncait Think you need to look a bit farther than Wikipedia for your information. Down beat Armagh in Quarter Final 0-15 to 2-7, beat Monaghan in Semi-Final and eventually got beat in Ulster Final by Tyrone.

@GerryCu58302876 @Ceanncait Armagh 15 down 2.7

If down beat Armagh this weekend I think it will be an even bigger milestone for down football than the donegal win. Down haven't beaten Armagh in the championship since 1992. Armagh have won the last nine encounters. A victory for down would be huge.

@JimHyland14 @sticktownman Down would now be depending on Kildare to get to Leinster Final as they are already qualified for Sam Maguire

@sticktownman Westmeath beating Meath not only will end Meaths chances of a Leicester but will have huge consequences 4 Down they won’t be in same Maguire to my understanding?

@TiarnanTweets Because the foul was inside the arc

Why wasn't Armagh's last free hit from outside the arc?

@LeeLowOfficial @doubleosullivan @ShaneLowryGolf His tackle was never a legal tackle no arm wrap. It was a no arms tackle therefore yellow at a minimum.

@doubleosullivan @ShaneLowryGolf Not every head contact in Rugby is a red.. Sacha went down with the player we've seen those before even over the try line players go down in that manner.. Number 4 launched himself 🤣🤣 Complain all you want Ireland's discipline was shocking NUMB NUTS

These rugby referees really do like to make it about themselves... 🙄

@tysonbmhlongo @KevinBrennanMP @Springboks Whether he turned away doesnt matter he leads with the shoulder. Doesn't wrap the arm and makes contact with the head. His tackle was never legal.

@KevinBrennanMP @Springboks Sacha turned away

Ryan's yellow has been upgraded to a 20 minute red card 🟥 #Springboks #ForeverGreenForeverGold #IREvRSA

@_sivu_ Stick that in your pipe

@JamieBrysonCPNI As controversial as your LLB Jamie!!

He’s one of our own. Unreal Lewis Crocker!

@BennyBoyTips So if the Ref has deemed this a foul will the same foul in the box from a corner kick be deemed a penalty. Based on this logic then it's penalties galore from corner kicks

VAR has disallowed this for a foul. Congratulations for the worst decision in Premier League history. Game is gone.

@JamieBrysonCPNI Also "roaming the streets"?? They are in a supermarket carpark in close proximity to a woman and a pram who doesn't seem terrified? This is a new low even for u @JoeBrolly1993 @TheBarofNI @AmandaFBelfast

Young GAA thugs roaming the streets threatening to “kill” Protestants & former members of the security forces. In this instance, a gang of cowardly thugs threaten to “kill” a former UDR soldier. This is the outworking of the GAA’s legitimisation of IRA terrorism & supremacism.

@SmallerFishGAA @cp121416245 Its simple maths guys. A ball kicked will travel 50m quicker than any man can running.

@cp121416245 the 11 v 11 would be much more difficult so it would be vital to get it down before that happens. How would you do that? By kicking it into a contest

I'm hearing the FRC trialled limiting the handpass last night. It has to be done - there are just too many handpasses I heard they trialled not being able to handpass twice in a row - that's too extreme 🙈 It's simple - 3 handpasses have to be followed by a kick and the kick HAS to go forward

@LFC_Avenger @cagiago_ @grok who is this Indy they talk about?

@cagiago_ To me I think ornstein is too overrated. Indy has won this window

Fabrizio Romano has fallen off so much this transfer window, I’m seeing so many new journalists give exclusives just for him to nab it 30 minutes later and pretend he knew what was going on. Literally everyday.

@Translink_NI So ur confirming no extra trains will be put on?

@Meatsy85 Hi Micheal. This is an extremely busy weekend across our network, with numerous events and concerts, and all our available resources are in use.

The Enterprise train service is the perfect start to your Dublin experience 🚅 Reserve your seat and choose from Flexible, Semi-Flexible and Low Fares for best value at spkl.io/6001fcjW1

@Translink_NI Any further updates? I have seen the buses for Omagh and Dungannon but I don't live there nor do alot of people attending this game. To only have one train coming back after the game that is already sold out isn't good enough. Particularly when there are at least 6 trains going.

@Meatsy85 Hi Micheal, we are hoping to receive information about this today. Keep an eye on our page for updates. ^TS

@SmallerFishGAA @tootstoman @KTFGYT Ok so Down beat Louth who beat Meath who beat Dublin. Is that enough for you?

@tootstoman @KTFGYT You mean beat Louth by a point at home and lost to Monaghan

Dublin v Cork, football's biggest game of the weekend, is on a subscription channel online Sat. It's on at the same time as the biggest hurling game of the weekend on RTE. They couldn't get less people to watch the biggest football game of the weekend if they tried

@SmallerFishGAA @seannieb84 Down v Galway the biggest game of weekend!

@seannieb84 Which game is bigger?

@MarkPowers98213 @Dub8Digdog @TullMcAdoo Cue the riots avenging the family of David Tweed, Jeffrey Donaldsons Daughter and Lisa Dorrian!!!

@Dub8Digdog @TullMcAdoo Fuck off you clown

Social media—the digital village square where every slack-jawed racist gets a megaphone. Today’s masterstroke? A brainless rumour that Ballymena’s displaced were being stashed in Larne Leisure Centre. Never mind that it wasn't true—why let facts interfere with a good old-fashioned racist panic? So, like clockwork, the local goblins emerged from their caves, torches in hand, and turned the place into a bonfire. Because nothing says 'civilised society' like burning down a community facility over a lie some halfwit pulled straight from his arse.. Bravo, lads. Darwin is weeping.

@SmallerFishGAA The one for the midfield Mark i do get. What is the alternative. The player rises in the air to win a clean catch from a kickout only to be bottled up by 3 or 4 players when he hits the ground and get blown up for overcarrying? Where is the advantage for catching it clean?

"if they don't change it, they'll ruin all the good work that they did" The FRC need to change some of the 50 meter penalty rules, they are a disaster in the hands of weak referees.

@chops40 @CahairOKane1 And the oul cow died

Column: This might not be the most talented Down team ever but they’re bearing the fruits of hard work and consistency. Plenty wish to dismiss their progress under Conor Laverty. Beneath the surface layer, it becomes clear they need him to stay long term irishnews.com/gaa/gaelic-foo…
