Another good day's football on the telly. Two surprise results and a real statement win for Kerry. They were brilliant in that second half.
It's still wide open though.

Big changes coming for Dublin now as Dessie Farrell confirms his resignation. Owes Dublin nothing whatsoever and did very well. You'd have to imagine its the last we'll see of a few big names. I think even I'll be gutted if Cluxton finally steps away #GAA

Dessie Farrell has stepped down as Dublin team manager. 6 years is a fair stint. Won 2 All-Irelands.
Will be interesting to see who takes over. Aside from Ger Brennan I don't know if there are any obvious candidates.

There are tears streaming down my face. That was epic, heroic. With 14 men for 3/4 of the game. What a performance. Heroes one and all.

This is the greatest non-handshake since Wayne Bridges / John Terry (though Doug Emhoff came close with Bruce Fischer).

That’s what happens when you side with dictators against your allies.

Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I went to a free concert at a local church - The Gustav Holst Ensemble - & half way through the second piece - Brahms Piano Quartet no. 3 - I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. A moment of absolute beauty. Never known anything like it.

Of all the Irish that could be invited to the White House today, choosing Conor McGregor and letting him rant to the press is more evidence that the administration is profoundly racist and pro-r*pe

I was bombarded non-stop for years with religious bullshit. I never believed because I had critical thinking skills. If there is ANYTHING we need to learn, it's critical thinking skills. If we teach every American critical thinking skills, we WILL transform this nation & in fact the entire world.
