Sexton criticises rival fans for social media behaviour around Crowley and Prendergast

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

Despite Ireland having two classy, young 10s at their disposal, all is not rosey. We saw, particularly during the Six Nations, just how toxic social media can get when fans are not pleased with selections. This came to the fore when Leinster’s Sam Prendergast was picked ahead of Munster’s Jack Crowley, with criticism of the former teetering into abuse territory at times. Sam Prendergast's spiral 50:22 was a thing of beauty.
GAA+ misses huge moment in crunch Cork vs Roscommon decider

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

Roscommon were dumped out of the All-Ireland SFC by Cork on Saturday, losing 0-19 to 0-17 at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise. Much to the disappointment of many fans, the game, as well as big clashes between Dublin vs Derry and Galway vs Armagh, were not shown on TV, but instead were available to stream on GAA+. The disappointment was compounded by the fact that coverage on the streaming service was lost during a crucial stage of the match.
A number of big Prem clubs join the race to sign Nathan Collins

We reported last week on Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Ireland centre-back, Nathan Collins. Spurs still looks like the most likely destination for the Kildare man if he was to leave, given that Brentford’s ex-manager, Thomas Frank, has just moved to Spurs to take over from Ange Postecoglou. However, TRB Football have reported that Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in the Bees man.
Fans disagree on 'soft' yellow card handed out to Meath star

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

Meath are into the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals, after beating Kildare, 0-07 to 0-04, in Newbridge. The conditions were awful, leading to the low-scoring affair. After the game, fans disagreed over what looked like a very soft yellow card for former player of the year, Vikki Wall. The Meath woman took a pass at pace, and despite trying to avoid a collision, she crashed into a Lilywhites defender. The decision to show a yellow looked incredibly harsh, and fans criticised the call.
Rival fans hit Michael Murphy with bizarre criticism for actions against Mayo

Donegal broke Mayo hearts on Sunday, knocking them out of the All-Ireland SFC with the last kick of the game, as Ciarán Moore’s point after the buzzer gave them a one-point win. Key to victory was man of the match Michael Murphy, with the veteran dominating as a target man and reliable scorer, finishing the game with 0-05.
Leo Cullen welcomes 'abuse' thrown at Leinster after URC title win

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

Leinster exorcised a few of their demons with Saturday’s URC final win over the Bulls at Croke Park; their first title since the 2021 Pro14. After years of underperforming in the biggest games and numerous near misses in the Champions Cup, the team have come in for a significant amount of criticism. Given Leinster’s population and financial advantages, many sport fans believe they are fair game, with some of the comments teetering into abuse territory.
Jim McGuinness slams GAA over 'unfair' treatment of Donegal

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

A one-point, 0-19 to 1-15 win over Mayo this evening, confirmed Donegal’s spot in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals. Their loss to Tyrone earlier in the group stage meant that the Red Hands topped the table and will advance straight to the last eight. The neutral venue chosen for today’s game was Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon, with many complaining over the unfair distance of the stadium to Donegal compared with Mayo.

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

Mayo have been knocked out of the 2025 All-Ireland Championship, following a one-point, 0-19 to 1-15, defeat to Donegal this evening. It looked as though Mayo had the draw secured, with Cavan going out, when Fergal Boland knocked over a late point, but Ciarán Moore broke their hearts with a classy solo score after the hooter had sounded. The result means Donegal top the group, while Tyrone and Cavan go into the preliminary quarter-finals.
Shocking behaviour sees American stat trash US Open locker room

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

US golfer Wyndham Clark missed the cut at the US Open by one stroke, finishing on +8 after shooting +4 in his second round at Oakmont. And, allegedly, he let his frustrations get the better of him, with pictures showing smashed up lockers. Tron Carter, of the No Laying Up podcast, posted on X that ‘multiple sources’ confirmed that it was Clark who was the perpetrator. At the very least, there should be a fine incoming if he is found guilty.

1 week ago | sportsjoe.ie | Colmán Stanley

Monaghan were the victors today against Down in their All-Ireland group-stage clash, winning 2-27 to 1-26 at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh. The result means that the Farney men go straight into the quarter-finals as group winners, while the Mournemen face a preliminary quarter-final. The latter were winning for large parts of the match, but a game-changing goal swung the momentum.
