For those of yous on Twitter. I was just wondering who are the best GAA county players to follow? Ones who chat about football and are good craic also.

Personally, I find Joe Brolly good craic on Twitter, and he gets involved with a lot of GAA debate with his followers.

Don't mind the likes of Brolly etc but I think players should stay away from it, it's an unnecessary distraction. If I managed a top side, I put a ban on it!

I agree realdub, twitter is just another outlet for those who suffer from verbal diarrohea, and who have a sense of self-importance way above their real worth.

There was an interesting comment from a footballer on Saturday on the Dublin/Kilkenny match. He had not been at it but felt qualified to pass comment on Dublin's "collapse". The phrase 'my bottom and snipe shooting' sprung to mind.

Ciaran Lenehan, Ciaran Lyng, Darran O'Sullivan, Brolly are all good. Thought Colm Parkinson was good but he blocked me a while ago. The Brian Cody and Marty Morrissey parodies were absolutely hilarious but they don't tweet any more.

Aaron Kernan is as sound as, actually found the time to reply to me on a few occassions which was nice.
Aiden Carr also seems like a good fella.

Edonnelly12 Eoin Donnelly Fermanagh midfielder. He's usually good craic on it. Wild man for the tweets

Most current players are not worth the follow in my opinion ie Galvin, Darran O'Sullivan, Bernard Brogan.

Mark McHugh, Ciaran Lenehan, Aaron Kernan, Dick Clerkin, Paddy Bradley are good.

Some of the pundits are good Colm Parkinson, Joe Brolly, Anthony Moyles.

1416480 I agree realdub, twitter is just another outlet for those who suffer from verbal diarrohea, and who have a sense of self-importance way above their real worth.

Bit like this place in that regard. Like everything else, twitter is as good/bad as you want it to be. Personally I think it's great.

The Mort is quite good and replies a fair bit. He once hosted a "Q&A session for my fans"

The usual toughest opponent, best game and prediction questions were fired at him so I decided to go a little bit leftfield.

I asked him when he was wiping his arse did he stand or stay on the pot. He took it in good humour I have to say.

Nobody really does that on twitter either, none of the people I follow anyway.
