Colin Sheridan: For Mayo and its people, nothing will ever feel like this again

After 75 years of longing, Mayo's triumph was a collective exhale for the generations gone who never knew an All-Ireland victory over their own

"Work gets done, dinners get cooked, the house gets cleaned, but where are our minds really? Somewhere in the Cusack stand, with every nerve ending tingling, every sense overloaded with the sound, the smoke and the beat of the pre-match parade." @amflynn.bsky.social on the All-Ireland final build-up

Great misheard lyrics of our time: "My love has got no money, he's got his trampolines!" @donalmulligan.com on the afterlife of GALA's 'Freed from Desire'

How 'Freed from Desire' became soccer's favourite anthem. @donalmulligan.com @dublincityuni.bsky.social tells the story of how a 1990s' Eurodance hit inspired by Buddhism became the soundtrack to happy stadiums and terraces years later www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Thanks to everyone who helped make the @oralhistoryie.bsky.social annual meeting a success: my fellow organisers (especially the wonderful Róisín Jones), our amazing keynote speaker Mary Stewart, our chairs and registration desk volunteers, & all who told us about their research. See you next year!

Amusing t-shirts, amazing frescoes, wonderful scenery, great conversations, great weather, great food, great company ... What's not to like?! Ciao, Perugia! I really enjoyed my first @journalismfestival.com #ijf #ijf26 #ijf2026

Abandoned crocs at Dublin Airport, bringing to mind the haunting six-word story often misattributed to Ernest Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Very sorry to hear this. When I was aged 12, I did a school project on Sports Reporters and Commentators. I sent questionnaires to a bunch of print journalists and broadcasters. Michael was one of those who wrote back, and his answers included some characteristically funny stories. RIP
