He cuts an imposing figure physically and an impressive one in conversation. Insightful interview with @Kerry_Official’s Shane Ryan in@Wednesday’s @ExaminerSport
Fine column from @KieranShannon7 for @ExaminerSport on @OfficialCorkGAA’s final failings - on and off the field irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
Another one off the slate. It’s a @TipperaryGAA world now. Get on board. Tuesday’s @ExaminerSport has a couple of @OfficialCorkGAA laments too.
Classic!
Mikey Breen winning an AI and heading away home with Sharelene Mawdsley must be the Carlsberg Sunday to end all Carlsberg Sundays
This is a tough one. Cork have had unbelievable support all season, and beyond. But looking at it from the players' point of view, this is all very raw. I've been at losing homecomings and they are a difficult watch.
CONFIRMED: @OfficialCorkGAA say there will be NO homecoming tonight with the crestfallen hurling squad. "At the request of the team and management, there is no event planned for the return of the Cork hurlers this evening. They would again like to thank all the entire county for…

Above and beyond. The cover of Monday’s @ExaminerSport, a keepsake (hopefully) for @TipperaryGAA folk. Wonderful words on a dramatic Sunday inside 24-page special
If you’re ambidextrous this is a cracking live blog from Croke Park from @ExaminerSport team for @OfficialCorkGAA and @TipperaryGAA - irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
Help a poor @LimerickCLG woman @RonanOGara10

Past the midnight hour and here’s what giddy @OfficialCorkGAA and @TipperaryGAA fans will be waking up to - a blinding build-up from @ExaminerSport to the All-Ireland SHC final. Enjoy this and it…

Nah Mary, just daydreaming this time!
Do you know something we don’t know Tony!
Eamonn Fitzmaurice, Kieran Donaghy, Donie Buckley. There's a dream Gaelic football management team in anyone's language.
Thanks Darren. It’s @tonyleen we have to thank for showing the interest in having it covered.
Good stat Karol. It’s a struggle now to even get them to 17.
Kerry won 5 minors from 2014–18. Counting each player only once (even if a 2 year minor), these are the senior Championship players each team produced: 2014: 4, 2015: 4, 2016: 3, 2017: 2, 2018: 1. From 150 players (5x30), ~9% played senior. We need to make parents aware of this.
There will be a few folk in @Kerry_Official putting two and two together upon hearing this news from @ExaminerSport: irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
As they say on LinkedIn, delighted to share news of my new book about the future of the GAA - more details to follow but feel free to circulate this message. More Than A Game: The GAA and Where It's Going is published soon by @Gill_Books
Two North Kerry men and a Cork blow-in supporting @IrishRugby Charitable Trust outing at @FotaIsland. Great cause, great course. @ExaminerSport
