Sorting out Cork people for ages...

In late July and on through August, on the biggest days of the GAA calendar — when all other space is filled — the Nally Terrace will be home to the GAA supporters who are unable to get tickets for anywhere else in Croke Park.

Former Roscommon goalkeeper Shane Curran is adamant Dublin having two Super 8 games in Croke Park is “not right or fair” but he doesn’t expect his county to contest it.

Dan Morrissey was among the thousands of Limerick supporters who took station on the Gaelic Grounds terrace the afternoon of the 2013 Munster hurling final.

Croke Park has been treated by the GAA public lately as if it were a vacuous hunk on the receiving end of a particularly awkward Love Island dumping.

GAA President John Horan wants to ban concerts and other non-GAA events from Croke Park during July and August each year.

If Kilkenny hurling was a Leaving Cert subject, Wexford would treat it as the one you don’t count when calculating your points total.

This column is in confessional mode today. After a trend, I wish to confess in public to having endured a traumatic experience in my past, writes Michael Clifford.

GAA club month is nearly over, a jamboree that chiefly involved dozens of articles bemoaning the lack of club activity. And a few club matches to take the bare look off things.

It’s Tuesday evening in the village of Corofin. Outside Raftery’s pub sits a car painted saffron and green. Printed on the bonnet, doors, and boot are the names of each Corofin panellist, as well as management.

The last time Clare hosted Tipperary in a football league fixture, ‘Division 4’ ran across the top of the match programme.

A friendly garda who turned a blind eye to some All-Ireland day speeding helped Chris Kamara make his commentary seat just before throw-in when Jeff & Kammy’s Journey to Croker reached its climax on Sunday.

Waterford fans have painted their town blue and white ahead of tomorrow's All-Ireland hurling final.

No unadorned surface has been left untouched, no bare space undecorated, as walls, animals, bales of hay, and cars have been given the blue and white treatment as Waterford fans prepare for their first All-Ireland final in nine years, with their heroes attempting to bridge a winning gap stretching to 1959.

Just retired and outside the bubble, Cork’s Daniel Goulding can reflect now on half a decade when the Rebels were consistently at football’s top table.

Five fun things to do around Ireland this weekend.

John Martin closes the front door of his uncle Nick Power’s house behind him and makes for the top of Oxmantown road. His instruction, from there, is to turn right onto North Circular Road and head in the direction of the City centre until Croke Park presents itself in the Dublin skyline.

There’s hardly another GAA weekend like it for stirring so many permutations and palpitations... and exaggerations.

Do not expect Ian Madigan to buckle under the burden of expectation tomorrow after being handed the play-making role for Ireland against World Cup minnows Romania. The out-half has been dealing with it since he was a child.
