Mayo 2-17; Tyrone 1-13
You have to hand it to Mayo - they are indeed the “great enigma” of Gaelic football.
Not for the first time a Mayo team make the headlines by confounding experts with a display that had no basis on the evidence of their performances so far this year.

THE success of my case against the British Broadcasting Corporation is an important and very significant breach of that institution's monopoly on how it broadcasts ‘news’, especially in Ireland.
As I said outside the Four Courts, I took this case to put manners on this institution. I stand over that comment. The British Broadcasting Corporation is supposed to be a public service provider. It is paid from public funds.

Tyrone 2-17; Donegal 0-20
One by one, predicted early season favorites to win Sam Maguire are being taken down.
It was Galway who lost that air of invincibility the previous week against Dublin and, on Saturday, Tyrone claimed the prize scalp of the previously ebullient Donegal in their own backyard of MacCumhaill Park, Ballybofey - something that had never previously happened in the Jim McGuinness eras.

A couple weeks back, I led an event at the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany called “An All Ireland Affair: The Music of the Famous Flanagan Brothers.” Joined by Diarmuid Ó Meachair (melodeon) and Brendan Dolan (piano), the evening combined an in-depth lecture about the history of the Flanagan’s recordings with a live performance of their music.

WHEN I was younger I had a stammer. I don’t know what age I was. Somewhere between seven and ten perhaps. A youngster! I grew out of my speech impediment and I have very little recollection of my stammering phase but I was reminded of it when I was on the phone to a friend in Ard Oifig in Dublin last week. . For no apparent reason she told me that she sometimes has a stammer when she is on the phone.
“It isn’t obvious,” I told her.
And it wasn’t.
“Its a nervous thing,” she went on.
