David Burke has been one of the greatest hurlers of his generation, and retires from the inter-county scene as one of Galway's most outstanding hurlers of all time
Rugby has become entangled in rules, law changes, and interpretations.. It has regressed as a result and is a now far less enjoyable game to watch than it was a few years ago
I don't know if the GAA have already made this decision or not by having the preliminary quarter-finals split across Saturday and Sunday, but the 4 winners on both days should be out 7 days later on the corresponding Saturday (28th) and Sunday (29th) for their QF games #GAA
The significance of the games facing the Galway footballers and the Leinster rugby team this weekend is strikingly similar.. Both teams absolutely must win, having both suffered gut-wrenching defeats in some massive games in recent years #GAA
A competition that allows a team 4 bites at the cherry to win it, is absolutely unfit for purpose.. Derry, Tyrone, Mayo, Cavan, Cork, Clare can all make the prelims of the All-Ireland series with 3 defeats.. Therefore, this Championship format deserves to be disposed of #GAA
The group stages of the All-Ireland SFC are upon us, and as the format enters its third and final year, it is important to point out a fatal flaw it has - There has been no reward for the 4 provincial champions going into the group format in '23, '24 and now '25 #GAA
It would be great if the GAA could just oust the 2-point free altogether after this weekend's provincial finals.. It makes the least sense of all the FRC enhancements #GAA
