I wouldn't get to worried yet 1000's of American kids go to college every year just to be Football players and being invited to a combine itself is a huge acheivement

Shane could do without playing club championship this year.
Back has also seemingly been causing issues again.
The structure of the season leaves little room for getting over knocks

I don't understand the confusion on the Roscommon player fouling the ball. You are not allowed to throw the ball in footballQuoteRULE 4 - TECHNICAL FOULS
4.1 To overcarry or overhold the ball.
4.2 (a) To throw the ball.
(b) To handpass the ball without:
(i) It being Fisted
or
(ii) It being struck with an open hand with a
definite underhand striking action.

I've seen people on Twitter saying you throw the ball downwards to hop it. You don't. If you were allowed to throw it up for a bounce, what would stop you throwing it over a players head and running past him, like a quick lineout in rugby.
It was a definite throw. The controversy here is that the call was made in injury time of a knockout game. The irony is that everybody wants consistency in refereeing but most don't want the rules applied against their team in injury time.

I think he was down with this stomach bug that apparently ran through half the squad before the cork game .
Considering how Diarmuid O Connor played that day, I could see that has some credence.
For a man that literally runs himself into the ground every time he puts that Mayo jersey on, he was standing with his hands on his his knees 20 mins in, also got badly caught in the build up to that Cork goal.

RTE's Dee Forbes & Declan McBennett are Directors of GAAgo. A public service broadcaster whose primary duty is to the public, is at the same time maximising profit by putting big games behind their paywall. It is a very serious conflict of interest.
Less of the paranoia. The number of games is determined by GAA as much as anyone else and RTÉ's involvement in GAAGo reflects its importance for overseas games where RTÉ is not broadcast. The GAA could have insisted that all QFs would be on RTÉ, but they want the extra revenue too and these were on Sky in previous years.Quote from: seafoid on June 27, 2023, 06:18:28 PM
GAAGO is an overflow media delivery vehicle required because of the short season. RTE's capacity to show matches is limited.
I am not sure that profit maximisation is the goal of GAAGO.
There is more scope for making this clear by ensuring that club members get a discount, linking it to tickets so that you can watch the replay for free etc.

There seem to have been quite a few ex players from that kind of era have got dementia.
(I suspect it's going to be a massive issue for rugby players in years to come too - look at Steve Thompson the english guy).
I think Jeff Astle was one of the first soccer players linked to dementia.

If Louth think putting all 15 players inside the 45 for the whole match is progress rather than surrender then good luck to them. It's embarrassing.
Progress on whatever they were trying in Leinster final which was truly embarrassing.
