14 of the greatest Twitter debuts in GAA history

What the GAA in the social media age is all about.

We now know what to expect from it, but it wasn't that long ago when people didn't know how to handle their views being broadcast to such a wide audience. We've collected 15 of the best first tweets from GAA personalities to prove... that they're humans too? No that's not right. We already knew that. Just for shits and giggles, we guess. If that typo was intentional, it was genius. https://twitter.com/larcorbett/status/63541047300591616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet But, but... you are working... oh never mind! https://twitter.com/Darransull86/status/24762988015648768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Peak GAA Twitter. https://twitter.com/richiehogan8/status/275275158606970880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Peak-er GAA. https://twitter.com/Aidan9Walsh/status/136109319111454720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Some of these are very of their time. https://twitter.com/mikeyquinlivan/status/237669698710409216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Classic child scaring! https://twitter.com/Begz_17/status/30370007661682688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Starting off with a bang. https://twitter.com/Jamesod7/status/6506878578200576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Alright! https://twitter.com/jamiequeeney/status/42896580969377792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Well, that worked out well in the end. https://twitter.com/Flinto23/status/28433332123?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet The perfect opportunity finally arose. https://twitter.com/murphm95/status/25241129964281857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Stay in school, kids. https://twitter.com/AIDOXI/status/22704579787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet Rubbing virtual shoulders with the stars. https://twitter.com/BrianFenton08/status/1476425144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet We sincerely doubt it was your last. https://twitter.com/pgal10/status/12334965842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.twitter.com%2Ffirst-tweet What in the... https://twitter.com/Darraghose/status/665079321514635264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.ie%2Fsport%2Fpic-darragh-ose-waits-ages-to-send-first-tweet-posts-bizarre-mickey-mouse-video-gets-slagged-by-ex-teammates-519407
