"It's not the same as Twitter", friend Twitter isn't the same as Twitter. Old Twitter died years ago, we need to accept that almost no-one under 30 is interested in joining text-based social media - the format will die with us, like floppy discs, Mars Delights, and the concept of hope for the future

Love the fact Ireland are just watching the goal over and over again, like the rest of us

Wrote about Con O'Callaghan: what makes him different in the words of his club, college and county team-mates and the numbers to prove it. This year: 39 shots, 35 points. Outrageous. www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/ar...

The diehards. Monaghan season-ticket holders and sisters, Rachel Brennan and Bernie Collins. First in the gate at MacHale Park over 90 minutes before throw-in for tonight's challenge "We always follow Monaghan no matter where they are. Pre-season, league, championship, we're there"

That was great stuff from Tom Brady at the end of the Bills game.
