How chirpy tweeters were all a-flutter on Twitter for All-Ireland final day

FOR a while yesterday, I felt like I must be the lucky one.

Presented with the task of ‘watching’ how Twitter reacts to an All-Ireland hurling final, I was saved the inconvenience of what appeared to be apocalyptic weather (“the floodlights are on!”), traffic delays (“Hearing of huge delays on M8 joining up with M7”) and a fairly poor first half.

I wasn’t even too bothered about not having access to TV coverage here in New York, reading countless complaints about TV3’s minor coverage not having Irish commentary.
