Anyone else think that Will O'Donoghue missed a golden opportunity when Hoggie asked him what was said at half-time in the Limerick dressing-room. Instead of saying "I'm not telling you", Will could have retorted that "the public, I think, would be far more interested in hearing what was said in your dressing-room at half-time last year in the AI final!"

Replying To Square_B:  "Mainly down to the fact that you don't have the same amount of characters in life anymore... the youth of today are to be seen on Instagram admiring themselves. It's not going to get any better lets be honest. Complete borefest."
As Simon Jordan said recently on TalkSport a pure "Look at me" culture

Replying To GerBo:  "A lot to be said for the days of Dunphy, Hook, Brolly, Spillane and Loughnane. Maybe not always the best punditry but they weren't afraid to speak their mind and made for some brilliant television."
All true. I remember people used to run in Croke Park to phone home at half time to see what Spillane, Brolly and O'Rourke were saying. Likewise the TV in the local would be full volume and everyone silent at HT.

That's said many people look to social media now for in game commentary. Who's trending?
