@CarthyMehall @JohnSmall6 Unfortunately these things happen but the dubs got more in their favour against Kerry and mayo over the years.

@tommygriff7 @JohnSmall6 Name the handy calls, like maybe the Crowley, McManamon shoulder. But that was to only draw the game. What other big call went in Dublin’s favour. Cooper and John himself got sent off in All Ireland finals, and Dublin still weren’t beaten.

Dublin were the better team and deserved to win that game. The officiating was deplorable. It's not good enough, the players aren't getting the chance to compete in all Ireland final in two weeks because of non-subjective calls. Absurd.

@gho5 @CahairOKane1 Hurling.

Column: Why Gaelic football’s championship is now the best sporting competition in the world. What other sport has reversed the trend and got better? You go to games now expecting them to be good rather than hoping they are. It is unreal! irishnews.com/gaa/gaelic-foo…

@PatSpillanee Keep at it. They'll eventually get it Pat.

Had a brief chat with Andy Moran in the Croke Park hotel after the game yesterday evening, he was in jubilent form as expected.  Great to chat to such an enthusiastic football man similar to myself. Just the 8 All Irelands and 3 counties between us.

@BigSakk72 Cost the team progressing further as a result.

Michael Murphy once again showing his colours. Can’t just kick a score and get down the tunnel, he has to start a brawl Biggest scumbag on the island and thinks he can do what he wants #Donegal #Kerry #Murphy #Arsehole

@griptmedia Ignorant pigs.

Children’s Books Ireland and RTÉ recently promoted a reading list featuring controversial book “What’s the T?”, which promotes inappropriate sexual content aimed at 15-year-olds. Five different Sinn Féin TDs say they can’t comment on this as they aren’t aware of the book.

@TheSundayGame Witchcraft from Jim. I'd imagine he's on the handier side of everything after the loss.

'We'e in the exact same boat as last year... We won't get too stressed. We went a very long route last year.' Donegal manager Jim McGuinness unhappy with Cork result but trusts in his squad's resilience Watch The Saturday Game on the RTÉ Player later tonight

@PaulTreyvaud They have made it impossible for children to have a normal childhood.

If this is true, which it looks like it is, then it is clear that there is a very sinister agenda at play here with certain people/organisations involved in getting this vile disgusting material into the school curriculum to poison our children’s minds A full and immediate investigation is required into this and every parent should be told exactly where to find this material and rip it out of the school books straight away. Or better still, just burn the entire book immediately until someone is held accountable for this. Again, a huge thank you to @Ben_Scallan for pushing @NormaFoleyTD1 on this and for all the Trojan work @Jklunden has done in highlighting this vile situation

@MickFoley76 Wouldn't it nearly be better 2a v 2b. Knockout.

Luck of the draw: Cork beat Meath and get sent to Donegal. Kerry pummelled by Donegal, relatively easier game v Kildare. If you're Cork, you'd nearly send a shadow team to Ballybofey. Lose and you play a winner from 2B, but not Meath or Kerry.

@m_brosnan Murphy's behaviour in the league started all this shite.

@buff_egan Go handy buff their not showing the 4 secs before that. McHugh ran in on Burns. Out out out.

Awful Skullduggery from Burns. A VERY sneaky uppercut. 100% a Red Card. He runs off too because he knows what he was in the wrong.

@DLynchSport Previous 4/5 secs saw McHugh tangle with Burns first did it not?

A rotten cowardly act

@IrishRacing365 @GowranPark1 Thrilled to have introduced this owner to Horse Racing and looking so happy.

@2yovar It's great to hear it. Hopefully he's very lucky for connections. They will deserve the return.

Time to address the historic purchase of the Flightline colt. I’ve read many comments some critical, some astonished, some judgmental. That’s normal on social media today, where everyone has an opinion, even when they know very little about the subject. I even understand them perhaps I would think the same way if I hadn’t been there. For many, the final price was shocking. For those of us who were actually there, it wasn’t shocking at all. When an owner is willing to pay this kind of money, it’s obviously because others wanted the horse just as badly. But what makes someone pay such a high price for a horse that, as we all know, offers no guarantees? On the morning of April 2nd, while watching horses train ahead of their official breezes (usually shown 7 days later in the catalog), I had the chance to see this colt for the first time. As many of you know, I always carry my handycam to record and analyze these works later in detail. At first glance, I thought: “Wow, what a relaxed and efficient action.” With years of experience, I could already tell his stride length was well above average. Still, I needed to review the video closely. The result left me astonished almost in disbelief. Honestly, I couldn’t believe what I had recorded that morning. To keep it short: there’s an old saying in this game “when you think they’re going slow but the clock shows an impressive time, that’s when you know they’re really special.” I immediately contacted my clients and told them we were looking at a prospect on another level. A full week before the breeze show even started, I assured them their eyes wouldn’t see anything close to the quality of this horse among the remaining 1,200+ horses in the catalog. I even told them that if this colt simply repeated what he “prepared,” he could become the most expensive horse ever sold at OBS. The day of his official breeze arrived. I suggested they watch it live, and they did exactly at 9:05 a.m. on April 11th. The result was exactly what I expected. In fact, it was, without question, the most impressive breeze any horse has ever produced in the history of two-year-old in training sales. He broke the pole in :9.3 a time that has been matched by several horses in recent years. However, most of those who hit :9.3 couldn’t maintain that power and speed through the next 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8. The closest was probably Shisospicy two years ago, but this colt was clearly on another plane. Beyond the time, the way he did it was spectacular. His stride length and mechanics were simply breathtaking. Unlike the day I first saw him (when he was mostly on his left lead), this time he performed perfectly on his right lead, switched cleanly to the left on the turn, and continued galloping the 3/8 after the pole back on the right lead again. A breeze that borders on perfection. Then we looked at the pedigree. Why pay so much for a fast-working horse? Because he is by Flightline the Secretariat of our time. An exceptional racehorse whose place among the all-time greats is already a debate for another day. And who is the maternal grandsire? None other than Into Mischief, the greatest sire of the modern era and a multiple champion leading sire. Physically? He combines the best of both lines beautiful and correct, with a lot of Into Mischief in his color and markings, but also that athletic, distance oriented look from Tapit, the legendary sire of Flightline. Finally, the veterinary evaluation sealed the deal: a heart with a capacity significantly larger than average, with a projected racing distance of up to 10 furlongs. X-rays 100% clean, positive ultrasound on ligaments, tendons, and suspendories, a Grade 1 throat, both testicles perfectly descended, zero signs of pain, no bucked shins, and no muscle wear after such an effort remarkable for a young horse. This isn’t about ego or speculation. The person with the money can afford the luxury, of course. But for me, it was about the feeling of letting a horse go who… 🧵

@dubsoulrebel @SkyHelpIreland I had the same issue years ago. Just cancel the direct debit. End of.

Would appreciate someone from @SkyHelpIreland contacting me to sort this. They’re paying ridiculous money for stuff they don’t want or need

Just here with my parents (aged 70s & 80s) @SkyIreland They’ve been trying for ages to end the contract & keep getting passed around by your call centre Looking at their bill here & they are being charged for stuff like Sky Kids and Sports package that the never wanted. Awful

@AaronMaher95 Id say. Too many children for too little space. Inclusivity could cripple ye!!

The downfall of Dublin Football needs to be studied. We went from 8 All Irelands in 12 years and 14 Leinsters in a row to outsiders for Leinster and miles off the All Ireland Underage is struggling at both U20 and Minor level as well Where is it all going wrong?

@TGorrySolicitor Terry, I would imagine Heneghan is a total degenerate and the dirt comes out in the wash. His videos are akin to a jack Russell terrier yapping. Gearoid Norris should try and have the juvenile that was threatened produced asap.

Mark Tighe has an interesting story in the Irish Times today about Rob Heneghan of Pro Sports Advice ltd. According to the story Rob Heneghan, who claims to be the world’s most-followed horse racing pundit, has deleted all social media content promoting "Gambana," an offshore gambling platform. The move follows inquiries from The Irish Times regarding the site’s lack of legal standing in Ireland. The Promotion of "Gambana". Between January and February, Heneghan used his Telegram groups to encourage followers to deposit funds—in some cases up to $1,000—into Gambana. He marketed the platform as a tool for "good risk management" and highlighted lucrative deposit bonuses. However, Gambana is not licensed to operate in Ireland. It is owned by a Belize-based firm and claims to be regulated by the "Government of Anjouan," a small island in the Comoros archipelago.
