The big sell for GAA+ is having so much of the All-Ireland SFC rounds 1, 2 and 3. They'll show 12 Sam Maguire games from those rounds (plus two quarter-finals). RTÉ will only have room in their schedule for a handful

@QuadeCooper If you want to watch or play tag/league off with you. The scrum is what makes union.

Quade Cooper@QuadeCooper·
I’ve been watching a lot of Rugby lately, and it got me thinking about how we could speed the game up and open it up a bit more. One idea I had, hear me out. To encourage more offloads and reduce the number of rucks, what if when a team knocks the ball on, they’re not allowed to touch it next which currently results in a scrum. If they do, it’s a long arm penalty. That gives the opposition guaranteed first rights to the ball. They can pick it up and play immediately with a backward pass, or if they want to slow it down, it could work similar to an AFL mark and you have 10 seconds to resume play or it’s a turn over again. If you step off the mark, you’re live and can be tackled. The goal is simple, reward teams that want to play fast, create more chaos, and reduce stoppages? Questions - would this ruin our beautiful game and allow less skilled players to play (which is what most people want inclusivity) Would it make it slower? Faster? There’s nothing wrong with our game?

@JohnDugganSport The Glaziers will sell United for 5 billion and buy Spurs for 2 billion. The stadium is a cash cow, NFL, concerts etc..

Is it going to have to be that Tottenham Hotspur get relegated from the Premier League for ENIC to sell the club and cash in? Beneath the gloss and the shine, their stewardship of the club has been soulless for 25 years. The club needs to start again. It has to be sold .

"Why does he have to stand there?!" 😳 The Ref Watch panel react to Paul Tierney's decision to stand in the middle of Chelsea's centre circle huddle ⚽️

There are bigger issues in the game than Chelsea’s huddle around the ball. Howard Webb has bigger issues to address as refs' chief (VAR application, refereeing standards, grappling at corners etc) but he should have a quiet word with Chelsea. It was the opposition’s kick-off. Do your huddle in your own half. Someone at Chelsea should have a word with Liam Rosenior. Consider your reputation. If the huddle is mind games, new-age bonding or designed to wind up the opposition, whatever, it's not very effective. It’s hardly the Haka. Chelsea lost. At home. Rosenior is a promising head coach but the way he defends the huddle is slightly weird and undermines only himself. Rosenior has already shown he’s territorial pre-match, having criticised someone from Arsenal being in Chelsea’s half during the warm-up. A ritual “to respect the ball”? Respect the game first. Respect the opposition. Respect their kick-off. Respect your own fans by winning. Rosenior’s post-match comments were either naïve, cringe-making or diversionary after a defeat. Those of us who want Rosenior to succeed hope he does open his eyes and ears, who perhaps has a managerial mentor he can turn to (Leroy?). Because Rosenior does have some very good ideas, because we’ve seen his promising work at Derby, Hull and Strasbourg, and spoken to him along the way. He's trying to succeed at Chelsea with a club recruitment strategy that has left him without sufficient experience on the field, certainly at centre-back, or elite quality in goal. Rosenior doing well would be good for the standing of home-grown coaches and also good for Chelsea not to have constant managerial churn. But he's yet to convince many Chelsea fans he's worthy of the role. New ritual side-shows don't help. What about rediscovering Chelsea's old ritual of winning? Back to Webb. He should also have a word with his ref Paul Tierney. Be stronger. Tierney looked weak trapped in the middle, a supply teacher surrounded in an unruly playground. Hugged by Cole Palmer, Tierney’s authority was undermined further. Tierney should have spoken to Reece James, Chelsea’s captain and one of the more sensible characters in the game. Tierney should have pointed out it’s Newcastle’s kick-off and tell him to do the huddle further back. There are enough match-balls around the apron of the pitch. Borrow one. Do your ritual - and then focus on getting into the Champions League positions. That will safeguard Rosenior's job, not respecting the ball. #CFC

Genuine question. If you know your opposition is going to have to drop to 13 players if a scrum occurs (like Italy during the Welsh yellow card there), are you not better off ‘knocking on’ while in possession? Force the scrum and force the opposition to 13? Cheating? 🤷‍♂️

The Aviva has a crowd problem doesn't it? Final round of the Six Nations and the steps are filled with people racing to the bar before HT, while Ireland are in possession in the Scottish half Pity really
