Video report on Louth-Armagh from a field in Inniskeen, ft Gavin Devlin, Conor Grimes and a melted Dairy Milk Golden Crisp
- A long way from losing to Antrim
- Louth find a way to match Armagh’s depth
- Learning from Kerry’s All-Ireland tactic
- Differing 3-up policies

Kerry clear favourites, chance for Galway, Donegal suspect depth, Armagh massive task ahead
Loss of McCambridge, Crealey, Rian O'Neill & 2 Mackins (power & size) kicking in at business end, Kerry & Galway huge in middle 8,
Kerry half forwards, O'Connor x 2 & P Clifford scary

Fair play Richie. Rare enough to hear honest commentary on something no-one seems to want to say. Provincial Championship group stages look to have increased the gap in the provinces. Time for Provincials in Spring and All Ireland round Robin before gap widens even more?
That’s a poor spectacle for Leinster hurling. More like a challenge game at times. It’s no wonder a Leinster team hasn’t won an All Ireland since 2017. Were so far behind Munster hurling it’s embarrassing. Tomorrows final is a dress rehearsal for the All Ireland final

Often thought the opposite, that Munster GAA were purposely doing it, and rightly so, to make Waterford as competitive as possible when they're freshest, get wins and momentum
May 19
As Shanahan points out, that Waterford in seven seasons of the provincial group haven't played at home in their final game is mad.

That Westmeath middle 8 was unbelievable today, country might have known about Ray Connellan, Ronan Wallace and Sam McCartan. They now know about Matthew Whittaker, Conor Dillon, Kevin O'Sullivan and Shane Allen. They were unreal today. Allen & Whittaker 2-Pointers were massive

Obviously retaining possession isn't as easy as people think at the end of games with the new rules and players wrecked, or everyone would be doing it

Too many games being decided on technicalities with draconian punishments, desperate for the work that goes into it, this rule has a lot of people confused, including refs, players, fans, coaches

Vast majority of breaches r accidental & not interfering with play, with the penalty (easy 1 or likely 2) y would you do it on purpose?
Unless a lad is back goal side or actively chasing down a man it should be let go or free on halfway line, & certainly not a 2 point free

'The call on the breach on first half was shocking stuff'
Kieran McGeeney claims the breach was called after Joe McElroy came over to tell the Armagh manager he was injured.

Think Derry will have a big year, due one with their players and a lot of quality returning from injury, all about bringing through 2 or 3 quality young players to get depth

Punishment hardly fits the crime there, same for the missed Barrs one a few minutes earlier and a lot of other 2 point frees in general. What a game. New rules still need tweaks

That's a good watch. I would have loved to play under the current age groups & end at U-19. An extra catch-age would be amazing for players, like myself, who just weren't ready for senior football & could have done with an extra year or 2. (Ps - I played Snr hurling from 15)

Friendly little PR/propaganda visit to a school in a country the UN says is committing genocide, what are Education NI & this minister at
27 Oct 2025
Education Minister @paulgivan visited Ofek School in the Jerusalem District today to learn more about Israel’s innovative approaches to gifted education and inclusive learning.
The Minister engaged in discussions with Principal Racheli Yitzhak, along with representatives of the Israeli Ministry of Education, teachers and students.

Clearly not simple enough for this representative to understand the outrage this visit has caused. It’s hosted by the state of Israel - not Jewish people. Many Jewish people, including Israelis, are equally devastated by the genocidal actions of their government.
29 Oct 2025
This statement from the NITC reeks of pure prejudice. They hate the fact the Minister is engaging with Jewish people.
It’s that simple.

Have decided to finish up with Star & Mirror after 26 (gulp) years, To all those who had no obligation to take a call, many thanks for your generosity. Never took the great seats for momentous days for granted, will mostly miss the great colleagues & friends I made along the way
