The arrival of social media has brought crushing news for uncompromising, old-style, 'repealing Rule 27 was a mistake', true Gaels everywhere. For if there is one thing twitter has revealed to us all, it's that GAA players really love the Premier League.
It has been a traumatic day for Manchester United supporters. They're club no longer has the pulling power it once commanded. Former chief executive David Gill's reputation continues to rise the longer he's out of the job.
Of course, it now transpires that Pedro, having flirted outrageously with the United money men for weeks now, to the point where they thought deal was sealed, is on the brink of signing for Chelsea. Meanwhile, Otemandi is Manchester bound, but has been seduced by the new money boys over at City.
Pedro having medical at Chelsea!! Otamendi signing for City? What in gods name is going on at Old Trafford with transfers? Absolute joke..

Darran O'Sullivan was inclined to think (pray) that United had something coming down the line.
Otamendi, Ramos & now Pedro... Months of speculation with no result. You'd have to imagine (hope) they've someone else assured to come #mufc
