    The impetus to split Dublin seems to have fizzled out. Only when we put a great run together does it come back. No one advocating that idea ever mentions that from 1984 to 2010 inclusive, Dublin won Sam only once. One title in 27 years. Kerry...

    We were out for a nice drive today in Cos Tipperary and Limerick and saw a signpost for EFFIN. Kid you not. A really bad example of trying lazily to Anglicize the original Gaelic Irish local name of Eimhin (pronounced Evin) who was an early...

    True story. Kilkenny Gardaí posted a message last Sunday congratulating the neighbours but asking them to drive carefully through Kilkenny on the way home. Let the only points Tipp get today be in Croke Park or words to that effect . Quick as a...
