🏃♂️ Manchester United’s 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗜𝗧 squad are in for a big shock when they discover the fitness levels Mauricio Pochettino demands.
🗣️ Harry Kane at Spurs: "If you're tired, he wants you to train harder so you don't get tired… when we train, we train at 110%."
🗣️ Morgan Schneiderlin at Southampton: "His philosophy is 'Cry in the week to enjoy the weekend.' Sometimes we would work so hard in the gym that we'd go on the pitch and our legs were shaking."
🗣️ Ben Chilwell at Chelsea: "It reminded me of going back to youth team days when we used to call it getting beasted."
🗣️ Kyle Walker at Spurs: "We had the famous thing called the Gacon. The only person that I've ever seen complete it was Dele Alli – he was an animal at running."
🗣️ Hugo Lloris at Spurs: "He was very demanding. We used to train so hard so then games would feel easier."
🗣️ Jay Rodriguez at Southampton: "The training is really hard but it is working for us. We do a lot of power running."

One of the all time greats.
Galway GAA wishes to congratulate and thank Paul Conroy on a fantastic career following his retirement from senior inter-county football.
Paul has been an outstanding servant to Galway football and one of the country’s finest players over the past two decades, having made his senior championship debut in 2008.
His achievements include captaining Galway to All-Ireland Minor success in 2007, winning seven Connacht Senior Football Championships, a National Football League Division 2 title and representing Galway in two All-Ireland Senior Finals. His individual achievements culminated in being named an All-Star and GAA/GPA Footballer of the Year in 2024.
To captain Galway to an All-Ireland Minor title in 2007 and be recognised as Footballer of the Year seventeen years later is a remarkable achievement and reflects the standards he maintained throughout his career.
Paul has represented Galway with great pride, earning enormous respect throughout the county and beyond. His leadership, character and the example he has set for teammates and younger players will be an important part of his legacy.
On behalf of Galway GAA, we sincerely thank Paul for his outstanding contribution and acknowledge the support of his family, his club St James’, and everyone who has supported him throughout his career.
We wish Paul, Caroline, Páidí and Caolán every happiness and success in the years ahead.
From all of us,
Thank You Paul 🇶🇦🏐

Leinster Club SHC FT AET: Kilcormac-Killoughey 1-32, Naas 3-25. A sensational against the odds win by K-K, who somehow survived an extra time shootout, playing with 14 men from the 52nd minute, Conor Slevin won it with a huge free at the end as they showed serious character

Anybody who wants to teach their kids not to be competitive would want their hard drives checked! This is an abomination. Growing up with your best friends winning underage medals. They are my most cherished memories growing up. It will soon be a mixed sport! Mark my words
BREAKING: Proposals will go ahead to change rules and make teenage games non competitive in new report going to the GAA.
Teenage GAA games set for radical rules shake-up the42.ie/7221525
What a classic this game was. It had everything. Naas desperately unlucky.
LISTEN BACK: Full uninterrupted commentary from Sunday's @AIB_GAA Leinster QF between Kilcormac Killougey and Naas.

Esto es tremendo. No hubo muchos más muertos en Urda de milagro.
Un pasajero del Iryo que iba de Sevilla a Madrid recibió una llamada desde uno de los trenes que acababan de chocar.
Atravesó su tren vagón por vagón, desesperado, hasta llegar al primero. Allí se puso a golpear la puerta de la cabina y a gritarle al maquinista que más adelante había habido un accidente.
Lo que aquel pasajero no sabía es que, poco antes, el centro de control de Adif en Atocha había dado a su maquinista la misma orden que al AVE que acababa de embestir al otro Iryo: volver a circular a velocidad normal. En ese tramo, eso significaba poder ir a 200 km/h.
El maquinista se dio cuenta del error, volvió a llamar a Atocha y consiguió que corrigieran la orden. Circulaba con un límite de 40 km/h cuando oyó los golpes y los gritos. Redujo aún más la marcha y detuvo el tren a solo 400 metros de los dos convoyes siniestrados.
¿En qué manos estamos? Este 29N hay que echarlos.
When did the phenomenon of people putting their Christmas tree & decorations up 2 months before Christmas actually occurs begin? Are we becoming extremely Americanised? Lots of folk at this craic since Halloween🙈. I'd love to see their electricity bills in January.

For everyone who has been asking me what happened to the artwork I created of Ciara Mageean and her husband Thomas on their wedding day, I just wanted to give you a little update. A member of the family has been in touch, and I’m absolutely delighted that the artwork will now be going to them, where it can be kept and treasured. It’s lovely to know that something I created will have a special place with those closest to Ciara. Thanks to everyone who has been in touch and shown such an interest in the artwork.

Venues TBC but the timing of the two Ulster Club semi-finals suggest both are slated for TV.
St Eunan's v Scotstown is in the Saturday evening 7.15pm slot that RTÉ use
Crossmaglen v Edendork at 3.15pm on the Sunday suggests part of TG4 bill with Ballyhale v Kilmacud (1.15pm)

This is how close the top of Ireland - the Inishowen peninsula where I grew up - is to Scotland. Ulster Scots terms are still current in my part of Donegal: a lock, meaning a quantity, a bism meaning a broom, a wain meaning a child, etc.
