Really excited to announce the release of my book 'Time nor Tide: Ireland & Climate Change'. It's about how climate change is going to impact Ireland and how we can stop it while building a cleaner, better future. Available now for Kindle and Paperback on: amzn.to/37qW8Ct

@katetimmons_ @GaelicSportsRC Very interesting Kate - would love to read the full article if possible, thanks.

Some of the key insights from my recent paper 'An analysis of possession outcomes following turnovers and throw-ups in sub-elite Gaelic football'. Winning possession back in contact had a significant impact on a team's likelihood to score! 💪🏐

@DarrenDevine92 Class Darren, thanks.

@harkin_ben Thanks Ben, just export a csv from Performa into a spreadsheet I’m working on

A look at the shots from play data after 4 rounds of the Division 1. Thread how how each of the 8 teams highest two shot takers from play compare to the average. Request a player if you want to see how they compare

Gaeltacht abú baby!! ⁦@AnGhaeltacht⁩

@m_brosnan Yeah absolutely, podcasts I listen to all frame players doing well around how their MVP odds change, teams are judged based on odds of the game. 'Bets of the week's and all this. NBA is looking to build live betting into watching games live on their app which is mental

@harkin_ben Fair point, maybe not the best example. I just think they’ve opened the gates of hell with the nonstop promotions and gambling tie-ins. You should be able to enjoy sport without being hit over the head with it every minute

American sports went all-in in gambling with zero guardrails. A reckoning was always coming

@AnMailleach Just started reading yesterday Eoin. Absolutely fantastic, congrats on a great book.

I hope it was Charlie vs Garret

@SmallerFishGAA 100%, too much of games are up to referee's discretion (advantage, treated player off the field). This is something that is 100% out of their hands at least.

Should congress keep the Hooter?

@TonyBambrick @Nacsport @AnalysisPro Ah perfect, thanks Tony

@harkin_ben @Nacsport @AnalysisPro That's the excel bit Ben.....

Better late than never.... Shot & KO Stats Dashboards from the All-Ireland SFC Final. Kerry's ability to shoot 8 points from 9 shots outside the arc in the first half was the difference between two outstanding teams IMHO. Created with @Nacsport / @AnalysisPro & a little MS-Excel

@ChrisMcNultyDgl Ah apologies Chris - didn't pay enough attention to that!

@harkin_ben It’s not my story, I just tweeted it!

Donegal's official All-Ireland final ticket allocation lands at 13,748 donegallive.ie/news/gaa-lgfa/…

History Made - Div. 1 Champions ✅

@an_realt @DonegalDaily @JohnFogartyIrl It was the line about Paul Faloon that I guessed it would be - any kind of info like that would have to come from somewhere else.

@harkin_ben @DonegalDaily @JohnFogartyIrl They're notorious for that. You know its plagiarised when you see everything spelled correctly

@Score_Beo Should do it every 4 years - and do the Railway cup every 4 years like we had last year as well, made up of the county players out of the club championship.

Would you like to see the International Rules between Australia & Ireland come back?

@DavidSSport Both teams will wear green shorts you would think, wearing the same plain template, with green numbers and green accents on the shoulders - Meath have a pile of other training jerseys they could wear, don't know how the GAA ended up with this

Strange one, this. You’d imagine it’d make much more sense for Meath to wear their actual away shirt as they did vs Offaly. Would create a much better contrast.

Donegal Vs. Meath - will be another great day out 🔰🔰

Finbarr Roarty's second Man of the Match level performance in a row. His extraordinary work is just becoming expected.
