Paddy Andrew’s needs to stop interrupting James and talking over him .

[@BlueDemonJr95]

He's the same on GAAGO, great analyst but just has a terrible habit of interrupting or cutting people off before they finish

[@nirvanana9991]

Story of weekend is rte did not televise galway beating dublin after 90 years. Money money disgrace. What about the elderly ppl of ireland who don't have other options

[@Kevin-lf4xx]

Watched the games today, football is finished unless radical surgery happens.

[@Joseph13163]

The crowds were poor aswell not so much today but certainly yesterday only 49000.Two many meaningless games crammed into a very small window.

[@tommyrooney_gaa]

The FRC were the biggest winners today, as if they needed anymore ammo to get their suggested tweaks over the line 👌

[@jl91iii]

Crowds are poor because the games are ferociously expensive and Dublin is a horrible place to go to for 90% of the country. We need to move some of these games down the country

[@bosstrading928]

Not a thing wrong with the Louth Donegal game.

[@Joseph13163]

@@jl91iii Absolutely move them down the country but todays games were not to bad ,it was yesterdays games that were poor when dublin was involved

[@seantraynor5099]

@tommyrooney_gaa there is a lot of talk about the state of football and rule changes being needed. All rightly so. However this is only one part of the problem the other as I see it is the refereeing. The soft soft frees being given are ruining the flow of our game and just encouraging players to go down easy. Refs are blowing for frees and no one knows what for. It was clearly evident in all games over the weekend. We need to bring back the contact element of the game. You don’t see it near as much in hurling and the game is better for it. Can you discuss this with the lads for their take on it please?

[@martincaldwell6148]

Every week we hear you boys give excuses and blowing over poor performers from the big counties but Donegal continue to give kicking masterclass yet their flaws are constantly highlighted. There is no supreme standard to win AI when Dublin are out, lads

[@MindbodyMedic]

It's Donegal's to lose imo, jack nor Joyce are any match for McGuiness on the big days.

[@stypemann633]

​@@MindbodyMedic I give Donegal a big chance but I think it may be too soon for them. Jim will need another year with them to get them fully peaking. If Galway can get a reasonably fit team on the pitch I expect them to get past Donegal. The Tyrone and Cork games have shown that they're not the finished article.

[@tomgrenham8176]

Gaelic football is dead...so boring to watch. Even the supporters looked bored. The rules have to change, no back pass to the goalie. After 5 passes they have to do something with the ball

[@davidgormley7990]

Aye. I've had more fun at a Solemn Novena.

[@tazamia]

It's been broken for about 10 years.

[@gavinoconnor5065]

Kerry play to win at any cost its ok any north team play win its

[@Johnmcgregor-s1m]

The dubs are finished

[@jl91iii]

1.5 million people, quarter of the country, no chance

[@kerrysupporter]

Where did Paddy get that hoodie

[@pegleglonergan1539]

😆 it's shocking. Gay pride festival I reckon.

[@mcsuibhne005]

My thoughts exactly. You used to get slagged in my school if you wore white socks, nevermind a pink top. Bring back bullying on a societal level! 😅

[@brendanclarke8393]

Dublin seems to have lost interest they probably play a one good one bad

[@patricktyrrell7642]

Aramagh has no chance beating Kerry.

[@jl91iii]

I'm a kerry man and believe me none of us take Armagh lightly. Kerry have coasting all year.

[@93RubixCube]

Jim Mcguinness back to save intercounty football

[@kevinbathurst]

From his own tactics?

[@colmanlong1032]

Football is in a Diabolical state.paddy isn't lacking energy.

[@mcsuibhne005]

A pink top?! 😂 Brave choice. Stunning and brave.

[@briscain]

Kerry all Ireland champions once again.
