Unimaginable tragedy for that family. Apparently his brother had just got married himself start of June a couple of weeks before Jota. So very sad.

I thought it looked like a knee drop in real time. Was expecting a replay to see what really happened but they didn't do one and it didn't show the incident on the Sunday game. If it was a head clash to the ground fair enough but it was certainly a very nasty one either way.

Kerry have always been sore. When they win it's shake hands like men and leave what happened on the field on the field. But when they lose they'll fairly cry foul.

No mention of the knee drop on Burns's head that he had to go off for. Replays wouldn't show it for some reason. Certainly done them no harm on the Armagh kickouts.

The Dubliners. National treasures and icons no doubt.

They were though mostly interpreters of songs rather than songwriters, and for my money, every time Sinead O'Connor covered a Dubliners cover, she made it better. She was a better balladeer in my humble opinion.

So sticking to stuff that wouldn't have suited Sinead so much.

Maybe in some instances but I don't think there is anyone ever born could give a better rendition of Padraig Pearce's poem The Rebel, than Ronnie Drew.

Simply puts shivers up your spine.

They got the strongest club fball in the country.

With plenty of out of town lads in it who they can't pick.

The overall standard is still of great benefit to the massive amount of quality local players who are eligible. The right man will be ahead of most counties.

Kerry the better team but we left it behind us.

From a Cavan point of view, very happy with scoreline after watching first 20 mins. Very disappointed with scoreline after witnessing last 5.

Just seen Russia offering political asylum to Musk. Some bit of wumming by Putin. Very sick joke.

Reuters saying now there is no planned call.

Probably the sensible option for now.

The ability to articulate your position respectfully and intelligently has left US politics. The art of diplomacy is dead over there. It's been taken over by a sort of Wall Street trading floor bravado. Bullying and shouting loudest wins. And social media is the perfect medium to get the simple message to your mob.

What can you do but laugh and enjoy the popcorn.

Some mess. America is a joke shop. Bannon rowing in with his two cents worth too!!! Some craic if he got his way, had Musk declared illegal and deported. That would mean the president hired an illegal alien to gut the federal government  . Oh the irony plus there's gotta be a few serious breaches of law there too. How would the MAGA brigade spin that one?

Phone call will be interesting. I don't know about the amicable solution bit. Two giant and extremely fragile egos collide. I'd imagine both beforehand would be expecting to control the narrative and a climb down of some sort from the other. Biting their tongue is something neither has ever had to do so first sign it's not going their way, they'll both be at it like travellers on youtube again. On top of that God can only imagine what's being whispered in their ears by their lackeys. Can't be anything sensible or stable.

You would expect there would be people in their ears saying this can't continue but then nothing has been normal over there for the last decade or so.

Yes you would expect but even if there are sensible whispers, they still need to be decoded in the brain. So that's a dice roll on both sides. We've seen how very simple phots lately have been interpreted and once he goes with something, his handlers are clearly afraid to correct him no matter how absurd. Plus the propensity for both of them at crazy hours in the morning to take to social media like a sailor on leave. How do you control that?

FUBAR that this should be entertaining but strange days.

On a serious note, I thought Onana was supposed to be some sort of sweeper keeper great at distribution (or maybe I got my wires crossed). If so, how could they have got it so badly wrong.
