A lot of talk on here, that Mickey Harte is one of the all time greats. I disagree, at the end of the day he only has 3 All-Ireland Medals. I’d find that many down the back of me couch.

Congratulations to Andy Moran who becomes Mayo's first outside Manager since Mickey Moran in the early 2000's.

I got more points on my license for eating an ice cream whilst driving down the M8 than Cork got in that second half.

Just off the phone with a good friend of mine from Templenoe. He had his car broken into in Dingle this evening after leaving two All Ireland hurling tickets on the dash. Apparently it was a Kenmare man who broke in through the passenger window and he left two more.

Strong scent of slurry and Mushrooms around Dublin this evening. Have the North Inner City farmers their slurry out early or is it the fact theres 12 thousand Monaghan men in Croker Today.

Just landed at Croke Park. Looking forward to a magnificent weekend of football. Great to see volunteers with collection buckets outside the Croke Park Hotel in aid of Children in Ethiopia and The Donegal supporter's club. A great cause.

Great to see Rugby back in Croke Park today. Leinster v Northampton in the Champions Cup Semi Final. The last time a group of Leinster Rugby fans had a Semi in Croke Park was when the Queen visited in 2011.

A wild night out there tonight folks be careful. I'm hearing the worst of Storm Isha has just ripped through Longford town and reports of a possible tornado. The locals are coming to terms with the several million's worth of improvements it has made to the town.

Donegal County Board to save 27.5K of proposed 55k Privacy fence after Jim McGuinness confirmed it was only needed in one half of the pitch. The remaining money is now to be spent on legalising casinos and chicken ranches.

Just passed through Limerick on my way home from the Sligo game in Breffni Park. Fairly bad floods on the roads, not sure if from a thunderstorm or Mayo tears.

I knew things were tough for David Moyes at West Ham but drafting in Michael Healy Rae as Assistant Manager is a drastic step.

Why does Richard Dunne look like he has just returned from a 4 day stag in Prague every time I watch Virgin Media.

In Killarney this morning for the breakfast and a coffee. Peculiar smell of Chicken manure and mushrooms around the town. Must be playing Monaghan in the park today.

Great to see the 6 Nations back for another year. The great thing I love about our international rugby team, is it brings both North and South together as one. Even as far South as Auckland and Canberra.

I see the Katie Taylor fight won't be in Croke Park now. Crazy to think that the last time we've had a boxing match in Croke Park, that didn't involve a Tyrone man, was Muhammad Ali in 1972.

Just landed in Ballybofey for the Kerry Donegal game. Last time I was here was in 2016 on holidays for a week. Only rained twice, from the monday to the Thursday and the Friday to the Sunday.

I see Dublin have named their team for today's game v Kildare. Kilmacud man named at 17 Dessie Farrell will have a job explaining to him how he isn't actually starting .

The more I see this Enoch Burke situation evolve, and every day seeing his father drop him off to the school, the more I think we should set up a go fund me page for this man. If anything just to get him through the theory test.

I see Enoch Burke has returned to his school once more today, despite being dismissed. In a way I kind of admire him. Typical Mayo man, suffers defeat after defeat, but ultimately keeps coming back.

Alot of talk today that Kilmacud's All Ireland win is tainted due to the transfer of Shane Walsh. I disagree, they still finished the game with 15 Dubs on the pitch. Albeit they had a Galway and Offaly man on the pitch too.

Just heard reports from the local pub in Stillorgan that Shane Walsh has left Kilmacud Crokes with immediate effect. Apparently he asked for a pint of Carlsberg when arriving back for the celebrations and was told "Sorry we only do cheeseboards and red wine here".
