Players have a duty to their club and employers, they get paid to be professional and last night Spurs were very unlucky, had Son scored that one on one, I'd say the game could have been a draw.

Teams lose the league over the season, Arsenal and other teams that have been pipped at the post lost their battle throughout the year, not end of season games

Fans are fans though and they will take the positives from defeats. Any club that has any rivalry fall into that.

I suppose the neutrals loved this season with the last day finishes coming up

The GAA must be the only organisation where fans want them to move with the times yet remain stuck in the past

Perfectly put.

I'm not sure where you're about but absolutely everything is going behind paywalls now, especially sport, that's the modern way.

Burns did point out that to make GAAGO viable that it needed to show some high profile games, he'd didn't shirk on that and Cork fans were probably unlucky in that their first three games were all on GAAGO and that does need addressed by the GAA.

Thought the Spurs fans were pathetically funny last night. Cheering on a Man City victory to stop Arsenal winning the league even though it also meant that they would fail to qualify for the CL. If ever there was a more suitable time for the phrase turkey's voting for Christmas

Remember Man United fans being the same a few times when playing Man City and wanting to lose so it would mean Liverpool wouldn't win the league.

At least one woman in NYC was caught flashing their t**s

She was an Only Fans model.. The woman that mooned in Dublin didn't look like an Only Fans model. I'm not saying anything else 

Have you any proof of that?

From what I can see on social media Only Fans model often translates to someone you would not look twice at in a bar but is willing to take their kit off. Not like in my youth when the word model meant something.

Kerry are the one team this year who I've felt have been playing their cards very close to their chest, that or they've just been pretty poor. Seeing that's it's Kerry we'll have to give them the benefit of the  doubt I suppose. I remember thinking Derry had moved ahead of them in the pecking order but the league reslly is just the league. I'd be tempted to back them for the AI at this stage- not that it would be a huge shock if they won.

Joe Kernan said last week that the the only serious teams were Dublin, Armagh, Derry, Mayo and Galway.  We needn't worry about the likes of Donegal and Kerry for Sam, although they are nice to visit.

Would definitely have Donegal ahead of Mayo and maybe Kerry as well at this stage, never rule out the Tyronies as well.

Donegal have beaten one of the teams on that list and drawn with another one. It is hard to say about Kerry, while their group means that they will probably go to a QF, they could have challenges in both the QF and SF.

The modern business phenomenon of trying to clean as much money off people as possible is one we could do without in the GAA.

Out of interest, where is it you believe all this money goes? Is it all packaged up in brown envelopes in headquarters? Or is Jarlath the mercenary pocketing it?

Surely if that was the way of it they would have been better of keeping the cash at turnstiles set up, or maybe that's where Supervalu & Centra come in (it may shock you that you can still take cash out from under the mattress and head in to your local store to purchase a ticket for the game)?

Quick question on age eligibility. In lgfa a child can play one go games age group above their own group (up to u13 in Tyrone). And 2 levels above their group at competitive level - u14 upwards. Would a 12 year old who's playing u13 go games and u14 competitive, be eligible to play u16 as well? As Theres no older go game age group, would she be allowed to play the 2 age groups above at competitive games?

From the 2023 Official Guide:
Underage players can only play in their own age group at Inter-County level for U-14 and
U-16 (Effective 1st January 2024).
At County U-18 level, players may play in their own age group and one grade above. Over
18 grade is deemed an adult grade.
At club level, underage players can only play in their own age group and two grades above
it with grades deemed as Under 12, 14, 16 and 18. All grades Under 10 can only play one
grade above. An Under 8 can play Under 8 and 10. An Under 10 can play Under 10 and
12. An Under 12 can play Under 12, 14, 16. An Under 14 can play Under 14, 16 and 18. An
Under 16 can play Under 16, 18 and Adult and Under 18 can play Under 18 and Adult.
At Inter-County and Club level, players must firstly play and train with their own age group.

Personally, I would have serious reservations with an u12 (potentially P7) playing at u16 level (5th years) but it isn't against the rules.  I don't think go-games is a factor as the LGFA deem the age groups at U12, u14 etc.

The uber nationalist, I am more Irish than you, flag waving Nazi's are ironically closely aligned with the Far Right in England and even Loyalist paramilitaries in the North. They even invite them into Ireland to speak at their little rallies. That just about sums up the brain power in operation in the Far Right and their supporters like Whitey and Burdizzo. Empty vessels with one or two brain cells rattling around inside.

50% of Sinn Fein supporters now support border checks to stem the flow of migrants

The people inviting these far right types in would very very likely be Sinn Fein supporters

In this immigration matter-Sinn Fein gave the 2 fingers to their most loyal supporters

So out of touch its not funny
