tweet your views to @kerryman_ie The AFL/GAA debate raged this weekend following on from Mark O’Connor’s debut with Geelong earlier this month and Tomás Ó Sé’s weekend ar ticle in the Irish Independen­t... Neil Treacy @neil_treacy I don’t think it is, but even if money alone is the motivating factor for young GAA players turning to AFL, why is that necessaril­y bad? Mike O’Halloran @StageandSp­ort Developing players does not mean you own their future, #GAA #AFL let the young players fulfil their ambitions in profession­al sport. Jamie Wall @Jamwall7 Respectful­ly, totally disagree. I love the GAA & have, at best a passing interest in AFL. But we have no right to attempt to stop guys... Kieran McSweeney @SuibhneGei­lt1 If Irish lad wants to give AFL a crack, best of luck to him & far prefer @TadhgKenne­lly to be involved as he gets what it takes #GAA Over in England John Terry sparked a lot of controvers­y with his 26th minute substituti­on in Chelsea’s last game of the season... Phil McNulty @philmcnult­y So can I just get this straight? Moyes agreed Sunderland would put ball out in the 26th minute so John Terry could have a send-off? Really? Rory Smith @RorySmith John Terry’s hubris summed up perfectly in a self-arranged farewell: a player so determined to enhance his status he ends up diminishin­g it. Oliver Kay @OliverKayT­imes Struggling to see why anyone is wound up by the contrived substituti­on of John Terry in his final game - except for the fact it’s John Terry Richard Williams @rwilliams1­947 John Terry was a really, really great player but today’s 26th minute thing reeked of the narcissism that made him so easy to dislike. Niall Horan @NiallOffic­ial Very sad one to see John terry leaving Chelsea. I’ve been very lucky to get to know John quite well over the last few years since my surgery Gary Lineker @GaryLineke­r John Terry’s magnificen­t Chelsea career ends after 26 minutes of his final match. A great defender. A real leader. And a winner. Liverpool, meanwhile, finally secured four th spot in the EPL table, despite one of two shaky moments early on... Jamie Carragher @Carra23 Brave decision & correct decision from Atkinson #LFCMID John Aldridge @Realaldo47­4 Never in doubt Well done to the team,nervy for a while!then 3 quality goals. Champs League!where this Club belongs!5TIMES!Remember.
