Trying my hand at last at video reports. Tons of strong tactical analysis around so this is something a little bit different on Kerry v Donegal.
Thanks to Sé for all his help.

Delighted to have Seamus Flanagan on Off The Ball Breakfast again this morning.
It was great to learn what he had taken from David Clifford's forward play to improve his own game.

This whataboutery is a classic of an awful cynicism you'll find increasingly often in parts of the Telegraph sports section.
Telling people they can't stand for something is a means of telling them to stand for nothing

I asked the Limerick footballers if I could have full access to their game plans, training sessions, review meetings, gym work, coaching discussions and everything else in the lead-up to the Tailteann Cup final.
Amazingly, they said yes

Red Óg Murphy died by suicide three years ago today. On Sunday, the current Sligo team were at his anniversary mass and trained afterwards in his local club, Curry GAA.
Giving this another spin, in case people haven't come across his story.

This is one of the best sports books of 2024.
Kind of about LeBron, kind of about basketball in Ohio, but it's much more than that.
Its author, @NifMuhammad, who is also a MacArthur Fellow, joins us tonight at 8.20ish, on @offtheball / @NewstalkFM.
