Beautiful, Séamas!

I adore this Scotland team

Baite opens in cinemas across Ireland today. Delighted to have cut this for Ruán Magan and team.

Ciarán Murphy: Easy to blame Armagh loss on their handpass dependency, but there’s more to it On another day, their endeavours may have paid off, but Galway were rewarded for rolling the dice

This week's column - is the fisted point actually The Worst Thing That's Ever Happened ™️? www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic...

Fuck sake - 4 mins of marginal gains nonsense before you twat it into the wall. Grim

Delighted to be heading back to the Galway International Arts Festival this Saturday for a chat with two heroes of mine - Dr Paul Rouse, the GAA polymath, and @sineadocarroll.bsky.social.

All organised by the wonderful Catriona Crowe, limited tickets still available on www.giaf.ie/festival/eve...

Hahahaha very true

you already can’t be drawn against your provincial final opponent - there’d barely be need for a draw if you added further restrictions!

four 2025 division 1 teams in the connacht winners’ group, and then not even one team that started the year in division 1 in the Leinster winners’ group - bloody hell

I watched the entire 6-min clip the Masters put up this morning, and thought maybe they’d edited out some of the CBS comms. But no! They really did just let the pictures tell the story. Pretty brilliant

Haha yeah I feel I should be posting more GAA on here too!! But then again… maybe it’s not just the website but *the whole idea of posting itself* that I’m now also rebelling against 🤔

ffs 🤦‍♂️

If any old bastards have retired in disgust at how the game has gone over the last few years, you have my permission to DANGLE this column in their general direction... 😂🤦‍♂️

Ciarán Murphy: ‘Solo and f**kin’ go, will ye' - how the new football rules are landing in Junior B The game is slightly better, slightly faster, slightly more vertical, and slightly more fun to play. And all those minor improvements add up to a major impact

This week's column. The verdict from Junior B football is in. These rules... are pretty bloody good www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic...

That’s what I’m hearing too. They are mobilising

Ciarán Murphy: Ye of little counties can have faith in Offaly again Offaly's Adam Screeney will be an adornment to the Leinster championship this year

Ciarán Murphy: The most important rule now is we must support clubs that suffered storm damage The destruction of Connacht GAA’s Air Dome in Bekan is a travesty for thousands of kids around the entire province

This week's column - hope that everyone gets back on their feet soon, I know there are plenty in Galway still waiting for their power to return

Some all-Ireland final themed humour in Salthill

Storm Éowyn can’t destroy Connacht GAA’s ambition – Prenty’s Tenty will rise again The Air Dome is a unique kind of west of Ireland miracle and though John Prenty and his staff stayed until 2.30am on Thursday night to try and save it, the storm ripped through it

Storm Éowyn can’t destroy Connacht GAA’s ambition – Prenty’s Tenty will rise again

Ciarán Murphy: Brothers-in-arms set to have a big impact on final day Canavan sharpshooters Ruairí and Darragh Canavan come up against Cuala’s Con and Niall O’Callaghan with All-Ireland glory the glittering prize

This week's column -

More than one of my brothers have already threatened legal action

Cheers Ruaidhrí!

This was a very nice message to get - here's the column in question, it was in the paper on St Stephen's Day www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic...

cheers Niall, appreciate the message! I'm fine now... I swear

Ciarán Murphy: Sigerson Cup missed a trick by not playing by new rules In the absence of traditional preseason provincial competitions, high-quality colleges’ fare would have attracted extra interest

It's my first GAA column of the year with @IrishTimes - and you can tell I'm already busting down doors trying to get a look at NEW football (and bemoaning competitions who eschewed the enhancements for possibly valid reasons)

If you didnt get a chance to see it in Cinemas, An An Cailín Ciúin / The Quiet Girl has its tv premiere tonight on TG4 at 8.
