@mlverney If you cry wolf enough times Michael people will stop believing you!…

It mightn’t have looked much at the time but Adam Hogan was clearly bursted today and left the field for 7 minutes so people need to pipe down!

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile. That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap. That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel. People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

Morning, @IrishTimes @IrishTimesOpEd article today is on the monumental waste of public money that plagues Ireland. The State is pissing billions away every year. The figures are startling. No one is accountable. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

Only in Ireland would you find people who support loads of different countries in their problems etc but will not support their own. Charity begins at home. Some people need to remember that. Fix your own back garden but trying to fix others.

For me, a vote against this proposal is a vote for club players all over the country. Certainty of fixtures and a small portion of the good weather to play their games in. A vote for is for casual inter-county supporters, media outlets & expensive backroom. That’s who benefits.

They spent all week trying to tell us they'd beat 2008 Manchester United and couldn't even beat 2026 Manchester United. 😭

"We'd batter them." 😂 Wayne Rooney on how his 2008 Man Utd side would get on 🆚 current Arsenal 👀

@OfficialCorkGAA Great to see a few new lads get a chance 👌

The Cork Senior Football team to play Tipperary at Cappawhite in the McGrath Cup, Group B on Tuesday 6th January 2026 at 7pm has been announced.

@TomasORuanaidh @offtheball @Football_Pod_ Multiple calls cost the Barrs. Free on Maguire. Incorrectly calling the Barrs player not giving the ball back. Moving the free far more infield than where the issue originally occurred. Then not even giving them the kick out the level it. Complete riding of the Barrs

Will expand tomorrow on @offtheball breakfast and Mondays @Football_Pod_ It’s far too easy to sit at home, with replays, and have a go/pile-on - seconds left in the game, by picking that ball up after the whistle is blown, you’re running the risk of exactly that happening.

Felt the same watching in Semple as I do on replay. It was 100% a 50m advancement. Whistle blown for free and the Barrs defender needlessly picks up the ball ❌ Cruel on Finbarrs, harsh too, hate the rule all you like - but it’s the rule. Voted through with 93% of the vote btw.

Robbery. That end should sicken everyone that loves Gaelic football A poxey 2 point free brought up for not giving the ball back wrong, wrong , wrong

@SherlockJoe @ButtevantGAA @KdyGAA Tuesday Joe if Walshes will open for us??

Letter in today’s Times

Can't believe the revered #NationsLeague Final is going to penalties. Cheapens the competition. Replay next weekend surely.

Time is a flat circle in the GAA media world 😅

@bbarrymurphy @OfficialCorkGAA That’s fine to say in a single code county. But when you’re operating in a dual code county, where one code is significantly out performing the other for a consistent period of time, it’s very hard to tell supporters what they should follow

@shaugho14 @OfficialCorkGAA I know but that’s when support is required not just on the good days

Very disappointing to see so many @OfficialCorkGAA supporters leaving in their droves after the hurling game against Kilkenny & they wouldn’t stay & support @OfficialCorkGAA footballers who have the same commitment to the Red jersey
