Mary McAleese: "I hate to say this but I suspect that there are people who are not entirely happy about the idea of including women in decision making at the top level of Gaelic sports."
Nine of 19 in the #GAA Management Committee room are female.
Some serious curtain twitching and cnámhshawling going on here! Mind you you’d be likely to see Pravda for sale west of the bridge in Bellacorrick then the “Kerry Examiner”.
Inter-county refs told Mayo star O’Donoghue should have seen red in All-Ireland final irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/…
Real Ballymagash stuff out of @RTEsport - imagine cutting off a World Cup hockey game with 5 minutes to go, advising people via voiceover to drink up and head over to @RTEplayer and the live feed isn’t there - no way to treat @irishhockey and our women’s team.
No better man than @KeithDugganIT to turn off the immersion, put out the cat, close the blinds, quench the lights, lock the side gate and close the front door on the House of Pain for ever. Up Mayo! irishtimes.com/life-style/20…

Day 18: Muineachán: Eugene “Nudie” Hughes @BlayneyFaughs Iconic and irrepressible. One statistic from a career strewn with honours sums up the brilliance of Nudie. An all star at corner back and an all star (twice) at corner forward. Different gravy. #GAA32COVID19

Two successive Mayo managements have lost arguably their best talent before a competitive game.
Oisin Mullin signed up for Aussie Rules in Nov 22, Kevin McStay wasn't long in the job.
Kobe McDonald in Nov 25 before a competitive game in charge for Andy Moran.

A friend of mine reminded me just now that this is the third Sunday in September. The third Sunday in September used to be a big deal in Ireland, once. Now, it's come and gone as a thief in the night. Progress, you know.

Brian Glanville died last month. I’ve been thinking about him and the other great sportswriter I’ve been lucky enough to work with, Hugh McIlvanney. There are others I admire but they’re still alive. So I thought I’d write about Brian and Hugh

Perhaps not quite the fondly remembered @johnkellytweets treatment but a majestic piece of radio nevertheless
On Private Passions at noon @BBCRadio3 Neil Hannon the driving force behind the band The Divine Comedy (eg National Express). Neil talks about growing up in Enniskillen and brings usPuccini, Stravinsky, Chopin, Ravel, Michael Nyman, Kate Bush and Scott Walker.
Tell your children the story of Mick O’Dwyer, the unrelenting optimism, the drive for victory always, the respect for the Jersey, the lessons for life. Show them the Golden Years video, if you’re privileged to be an underage GAA coach - tell your players the Micko story. #micko
