Joe Brolly pinpoints what ‘happiness is' from a GAA fan's perspective – though some argue he's totally wrong
JOE Brolly surmised "Happiness is...watching Shane Walsh play football" on Sunday - though not everyone was in agreement.
Clearly Brolly was bowled over by the Galway talisman's display as they

The mercurial ace wound up with 1-7 though
Those contrasting views from two men who clearly know what they're talking about sums up how Walsh splits opinion that like few other players across Gaelic football.
He can pull off a majestic strike like
Among the more glass half-empty replies, Donal asked: "Do you not think he's underachieved considering his talent?"

While another more gruff follower added: "Is it aye? Shut the f*** up Joe."
Finally another sceptic posted: "Not really. But overall, a few of the Down players are making this an interesting fixture."
Against that, there were plenty of others who hailed the 32-year-old for playing through a shoulder injury that saw him subbed off late on.
One person (loudly) pondered: "How does Shane Walsh not get MAN OF THE MATCH for Galway against Down scoring 1-7 for Galway with shoulder injury Shane Walsh was SUPERMAN IN NEWRY today."

While Jonathan simply chimed in with: "Some baller isn't he."
Walsh won't have long to rest that shoulder as Padraic Joyce's charges will be back out this weekend as they take on Meath in the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
Tomas O'Se calls out GAA's mid-season rule change but fellow Sunday Game pundit disagrees
All four match-ups will be played out at Croke Park across June 28/29 with the CCCC to confirm throw-in times later today.
The various bumps and bruises sustained by the second/third seeds who came through the preliminary quarter-finals should mean the rested panels of Meath, Monaghan, Armagh and Tyrone automatically have an edge.

Oisín McConville at crossroads with 'selfish endeavour' in Wicklow
Oisín McConville said he doesn't know if he will return as Wicklow manager next year. The Armagh man's three-year term ended following Wicklow's defeat to Limerick in Sunday's Tailteann Cup semi-final. McConville said he will first have a conversation with his wife Darina about his future in the role as he's fully aware how much him being an inter-county manager impacts his family. He described the role as "all consuming". "I understand that me being an inter-county manager is one thing," the 2002 All-Ireland winner told the BBC's The GAA Social podcast. "Me being an inter-county manager in Wicklow is a completely different thing because it's a pretty selfish endeavour on my part and that really strikes home because you miss quite a bit of what's going on with the kids; Darina, she picks up a lot of slack. "Honestly, if I was to say to her, 'listen I'm going back to Wicklow for the next 10 years', they'd back me up in the morning. That's not my decision. "We're going to give it a week or whatever and see if it's even a possibility. From home first, and then there's obviously conversations to be had (with the Wicklow county board) after that. I'm probably more aware than ever that we can't follow my dreams all the time as a family. Everybody's got their own individual things that they're doing there. "The other thing, was my family's couple of days or week going to be defined by whether we win a game at the weekend or not? The journey up the road, I do try and leave it in the car but if you've been beaten or in a situation like yesterday, it is very difficult to lift your head and I don't want that. I don't want to bring that into the house." Wicklow lost to Limerick despite being seven points up with 20 minutes to play. Limerick hit 1-9 without reply to earn the victory. "Don't think we played well first half at all but yet we found ourselves only a point down at half time which was a bit of a result," said McConville. "Whatever wind was there in the second half, we had it. If you had asked me yesterday, I would have said we played well for 10 or 15 minutes but it turns out it was only four or five minutes really. We had a really good burst. We were completely in control, seven points up and unfortunately from that point we capitulated. "It's pure devastation because you put yourself in such a good position to win and then on top of that you know that's the end of your season. It's not like you can repair it next week. "I felt angry coming up the road. I wanted to see if watching (the game) would give me some sort of closure on it quickly rather than going over it in my mind. "I wanted to watch it and get it out of the way and get a few things clear in my own head about decisions and what happened during the game. It didn't help immediately but it probably will help in the next 24 hours." McConville believes Wicklow will win the Tailteann Cup in the future. "Wicklow will go back to - whether it's with me or whoever - to a similar stage next year and they'll be better off for (Sunday's defeat)," he said. "It might take another turn or another turn after that but eventually it'll happen for them. There's too many good players there for it not to happen."

Ryan Moore has historic Irish Derby hat-trick in his sights aboard Epsom hero Lambourn
Ryan Moore has a shot at a historic Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby hat-trick on Sunday on board Lambourn. Trainer Aidan O'Brien has confirmed that Moore will team up with the Derby winner in Ireland's premier Classic after the English jockey discarded him in favour of Delacroix at Epsom earlier this month. It allowed Wayne Lordan to secure 'Blue Riband' glory on Lambourn, who is odds-on to become the 20th colt to complete the prestigious Derby double. Moore was on board the last horse to manage that feat, Auguste Rodin in 2023. He also landed last year's Irish Derby on Los Angeles. It leaves the way open for him to complete an unprecedented three-in-a-row in the 160th renewal of the race. READ MORE Moore is one of 11 jockeys to have won the Irish Derby back to back. It's a list that includes some of the greatest names in the sport's history from Steve Donoghue (1913-14) to Rae Johnstone (1948-49), Lester Piggott (1967-68) and Pat Eddery (1984-85). More recently, Cash Asmussen (1998-99), Mick Kinane (2001-02), Kieren Fallon (2005-06) and Johnny Murtagh (2009-10) are among those to manage the feat. Sunday's €1.25 million highlight will be just the second time Moore has ridden Lambourn after he won the Chester Vase on him last month. 'He has been good since Epsom and everything has been straightforward. It was a great day for him ... It all went according to plan for him,' said O'Brien. 'He was always going to be ridden forward that day and we were happy to make the running if no one was going on, as he is a good stayer. 'Ryan will ride him next weekend so he will decide which way he wants to ride him as he won the trial at Chester before on him.' The champion trainer is chasing a 17th success in a Classic he has dominated like no other. He also has a shot at his own bit of history as no trainer or jockey has won all three major European Derby contests in the same year. In addition to Lambourn at Epsom he saddled Camille Pissarro to land the Prix Du Jockey Club at Chantilly. Tuesday's crucial latest acceptance stage will give a clearer indication of the likely final complexion of Sunday's Classic, but one horse that won't feature is the beaten Epsom favourite, Delacroix. Wayne Lordan onboard Lambourn is congratulated by trainer Aidan O'Brien after winning the Derby at Epson earlier this month. Photograph:Instead, he is likely to accompany Camille Pissarro to the following weekend's Coral Eclipse at Sandown. Last week's Royal Ascot winner Trinity College is also in the Eclipse mix for Ballydoyle. '[Lambourn] is the main one at the moment, but there will be no Delacroix. There might be a couple of others in there, but Lambourn is the main one. This horse has always been straightforward, and he has form on all types of going,' O'Brien said. Bookmakers reckon the main threat to Lambourn could turn out to be Tennessee Stud, the Joseph O'Brien horse that ran on to be third at Epsom. Another horse that lined out in Epsom, the Dante winner Pride Of Arras, could also try his luck again. Twice an Irish Derby winner as a jockey, Joseph O'Brien combined with his brother Donnacha to land the race as a trainer through Latrobe in 2018. Green Impact is set to represent Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley in the Classic, while the race could come under consideration too for Dermot Weld's Purview. The Juddmonte colt hasn't been seen in action since finishing runner-up to Delacroix in the Leopardstown Derby Trial. Weld first won the Irish Derby with Zagreb in 1996 and again with Grey Swallow eight years later. Weld's Harzand completed the Epsom-Curragh double under the late Pat Smullen in 2016. Ground conditions at the Curragh on Monday were good and good to firm in places on the Derby course. It was officially good on the straight course. Up to 7mm of rainfall is expected on Wednesday night but watering has begun on the round track. Saturday's Group One highlight at the Derby Festival will be the Paddy Power Pretty Polly Stakes. Kalpana, who ran third to Los Angeles in the Tattersalls Gold Cup on her first start of the season, could line up in that or in the following day's Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in Paris. In other news, Willie Mullins may try to keep his big-race momentum up on the flat with a pair of runners in Saturday's big cross-channel prize, the Jenningsbet Northumberland Plate in Newcastle. A bumper tally of 62 entries were left in the prestigious handicap at Monday's latest acceptance stage, including both Pappano and Too Bossy from jump racing's dominant figure. Both horses were last seen competing over hurdles. Mullins enjoyed a pair of victories at Royal Ascot last week. Ethical Diamond took the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes while Sober easily landed the concluding Queen Alexandra Stakes. Moore was on board the Mullins winners. Moore was also on board Reaching High last week but the royal runner endured a luckless passage in the Ascot Stakes and Mullins has opted not to send him to Newcastle. Among the favourites for a race widely referred to as the 'Pitmen's Derby' is another high-class dual-purpose performer in East India Dock. He was behind Mullins's Poniros in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham but subsequently landed the Chester Cup last month. Who's Glen, trained by the in-form Andrew Balding, was fifth in that race and has been installed favourite by some firms for the weekend prize.

Cork v Dublin All-Ireland SHC semi-final a sell out on Ticketmaster
Tickets for the All-Ireland senior hurling championship semi-final between Cork and Dublin have been snapped up after going on sale this afternoon on Ticketmaster. Tickets went on sale at 12pm but just after 2pm there was no ticket availability left on the website. This will be the eighth game in a row that the Cork hurlers have sold out, dating back to the thrilling semi-final win over Limerick last year. Dublin stunned Limerick at the weekend following a thriller in Croke Park and playing with 14 for the majority of the game following a red card to captain Chris Crummey to set up a mouthwatering semi-final clash. All-Ireland senior semi-final ticket prices have increased for the second year in a row. Stand tickets, starting with Saturday and Sunday week's hurling last four games, are priced at €60, €5 more than last year's figure. The same €5 increase applies to discounted student and old age pensioner stand tickets, which are now €55 in the Cusack and Davin Stands. Admission to Hill 16 remains €40 as was the case last year. Entry for a juvenile (U16s) for the Cusack and Davin Stands is €10. Last year, admission rose by €5 for adult stand and terrace tickets as well as concessions having been €50, €45 and €35 respectively in 2023. In two years, a stand ticket for an All-Ireland semi-final has jumped by nearly 17%. The news for Cork, Dublin, Kilkenny and Tipperary supporters comes after Tipperary and Galway fans were charged €40 for their standalone All-Ireland SHC quarter-final in Limerick on Saturday, the same price as last year's double-header. In May last year, the GAA confirmed it was increasing price points for the All-Ireland quarter-final and semi-finals by €5, as well as raising a stand ticket price for an All-Ireland final to €100 and terrace to €55. For the second year in a row, the Munster Council last month increased ticket prices for June 7's Munster SHC final and stand admission cost €50, having been €40 in 2023. That was in line with their decision to raise the admission prices for round robin games for the second successive season, with a stand ticket now priced at €40, up €10 from two years ago following the two bumps. Tickets for this forthcoming weekend's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final double-headers, which were last year priced at €45 for a regular stand ticket and €35 for Hill 16, will go on sale early this week.
