@buff_egan Both Clare players are counting the steps waiting for him to have to release the ball onto the hurley but it never comes. Both would have timed their tackles perfectly if the ball was released every 4 steps.

How was that Goal allowed. He took 9 steps.

@LadiesFootball @KildareLGFA1 @LeinsterLGFA @JeromeQuinn @ATHYGFC @meathladiesMLGF @DocKeeperCoach your keeper of the week???

'Great saves by Rachel Fennin!' The @KildareLGFA1 goalkeeper was in top form to keep Meath goalless in their TG4 @LeinsterLGFA SFC opening game. Fennin also had praise for her opposite number, Robyn Murray. Video by @JeromeQuinn from Live Stream. @ATHYGFC @meathladiesMLGF

@byrne_david @ComedianConn No separation, he tried but didnt pull it off.

@ComedianConn But he threw the ball before the contact.

Looked like a free in to me but the ref had a different opinion. #gaa #hurling #gaa

@LegacySiu Ajax

Name a football club without letter "E" You can’t

@jimhamilton4 Yes

As physical a club match you will see. Love Munster vs Leinster Derby’s. Do they genuinely hate each other?

@HerSportDotIE @PwCIreland Mad how 13 of them could be so wrong 🤣

Do you call it a HURL or a HURLEY? Let’s find out what they thought at the PwC Camogie All-Stars Awards… __________________________________________ In partnership with @PwCIreland , Celebrating Excellence. #PwCCamogieAllStars

@RefereeLGFA @LadiesFootball @kerryladiesfoot @LKLadiesGaelic @MunsterLGFA @ArmaghLGFA @LouthLGFA @DownLGFA @UlsterLadies @ConnachtLGFA @LeinsterLGFA A harsh punishment, would a tick, and a retake if the free is taken before the referee has a chance to intervene (if not scored) be more appropriate in your opinion?

🟨🟥Rule of the Day🟥🟨 Came across this several times throughout the season. This applies to the Goalkeeper also when a penalty is being taken. I give the goalie a quick warning if shes jumping and waving. Not many know this! #LGFA #Rules #Lovewhatyoudo #Referee #girlsthatref

@gavreilly This has to be the biggest non story since the presidential election itself!

@CianTracey1 @BarryMurphyHG Lyra is going to be a tough act to follow for him.

The one and only Barry Murphy will sing Ireland’s Call at Soldier Field on Saturday. All going well, he’ll then sing Amhrán na bhFiann and IC for all three home November games. Here’s an enjoyable chat with @BarryMurphyHG about the honour of a lifetime. m.independent.ie/sport/rugby/as…

@PlayerGaelic In underage LGFA, I tell players that the ball carrier has to have one easy pass, approx 8 to 10 meters max. So dont all run away expecting a wonder pass, 1 easy pass (she may not use) and 2 or 3 harder options - gis getting into space at 20, 30 meters.

Have you ever asked a player for any of the following? Ø  better movement on the pitch Ø  to be more available for passes Ø  be more alert   If so, have you shown that player how to do these things? Most players need specifics to help them grasp the concept.

@m_brosnan Not to mention that they only play in Croke Park! I'll bet the Vikings would be favourites if they got to play in Walsh Park!

NO minor matchup beforehand despite the ticket prices 😡 Season only lasts five months. WHAT about schoolkids in March and April 😢 NO replays ❌ The NFL is is just as bad as the GAA!

@PlayerGaelic Is thos not what the LGFA already have, Coaching the tackle, perfecting the kick etc. All done with a demo group of players. Which is often the hardest part to get.

A suggestion from left field: The GAA publishes a list of coach education topics. It invites interested parties to submit ideas for workshops. Must have… Relevance for majority of club coaches Interactivity A demo group of players included Would it help?

@slatterywill Jesus 2019/20 😫

This is the list of Munster signings from Conor Murray's debut to when he retired 'When I looked at that list and saw some of the duds we signed over the years, it kind of reinforced what I’d been feeling for a long time about our recruitment policy.' Is he right?

@KarolDillon8 Is it not that 74% of long kick outs were retained. 76% of LKOs were contested, so 24% were not contested, so we assume they were all retained, then 50% of LKOs were contested and retained so 74% of LKOs were retained. Or am I reading that wrong?

Percentage of long kickouts retained under the new rules is at 50%. You will see a big change in the height profiles of half backs and half forwards in the coming years.

@coachshanerice Speed

Touching on a little bit about speed training.

@PlayerGaelic Teaching properly hook kicking technique would be a key one for me. It's counter intuitive that you would point your toe in the opposite direction from where you want the ball to go, but pictures of Shane Walsh or David Clifford just after kicking the ball proves the point.

A photograph is a coaching resource. Imagine having an A3 laminated copy and bringing it and others to sessions. If you’re thinking of ways to use it and questions to ask, fair play to you. If you’re thinking about the cost of copying, enlarging and laminating…….🤷‍♂️

@WestKerrylad @m_brosnan Is the best team not the team that has depth and can bring on subs to finish games out, have lads who can step up when players get injured. The team is a team of about 45/50 now not the best 15 players on paper.

@m_brosnan I like Jarlath but thats disappointing. We are getting to the point that its not the best team that will win but that can absorb the most injuries.

One hell of a address by GAA president Jarlath Burns in today’s match programme. “Our schedule and our season do not suit some vested interests who would prefer the inter-county calendar to dominate with no regard at all for your clubs who supply 100% of our players.”

@GaynorBrian @m_brosnan @CathalMDuffy 3 sports mentioned in your bio and not one of them hurling...and yet you know more than the president of the Association on the state of the game. If people like yourself love the sport so much, the Dallas Cowboys, Man U. and Munster should be able to make some head space for it.

@m_brosnan @CathalMDuffy Hmmm... This isn't how debate works.. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Says the fella cherry picking... Less TV coverage, less column inches, competing against professional sports at their finishing stages.. But yeah... Keep telling me about surveys...

@ihatemogs @m_brosnan Well journalists, pundits, presenters, managers, back room staff, anyone making a living off the sport would have an interest in seeing the season drawn out, the majority of which, id guess (may be wrong) take little notice of club or would happily sacrifice it for more money.

@EwanMacKenna @Richyfarrissey No, they are pretty skilled at tackling properly and not giving away frees. Contact in an attempt to tackle properly is not a free. In that example she had no chance of tackling properly and ploughed into the back of the shooter. 100% though, the game needs more contact.

@Richyfarrissey So 400 frees a game

I'm trying. I'm literally watching women's football. And that's a penalty against Kildare? And not one Kildare player surrounded ref or lost plot over being cheated. The pundits shrugged. If they don't care why do I? I'm trying to analyse this with equality. And it's a joke. #gaa
