Lots of talk about the new hooter #GAA rule but can a referee blow the whistle to end a half before the hooter sounds? That’s what happened at half time in Omagh on Saturday - and then there was no hooter at full time.

“It is incumbent upon the Irish Gov to start preparing for the possibility of unification.” “Even if it doesn’t happen it is the minimum courtesy owed to the population of the North.” Prof Brendan O’Leary speaking to Mark Carruthers | #BBCTheView
