The reigning footballer of the year is home and enjoying the football.
Dublin wing-back Jack McCaffrey has taken a year out form inter-county football to volunteer in Africa, where he did his best to keep up on his native county’s march to the All-Ireland semi-finals.

The medical student from Clontarf returned home this week ahead of the college year and, while he has already ruled out a return to Jim Gavin’s squad in 2016, he is keeping a keen eye on the Championship action.
No need for GAA Go now, but McCaffrey is less than impressed with one aspect of the RTÉ coverage of Mayo’s All-Ireland semi-final clash with Tipperary – namely Marty Morrissey’s co-commentator Tommy Carr.

He is not the only one to have an issue with the former Dublin player and manager, with his grasp on the rules surrounding the black card coming in for particular attention.
Tommy Carr has just spent the past 45 minutes spelling out to everyone how he doesn't have a notion about football or the rules! #brutal

Seriously now Tommy Carr obviously doesn't know the Rules regarding the Black Card judging by a statement he just made. #rtegaa

Others focussed on his assessment of Aidan O’Shea’s contribution lately.
"What a year the man is having in the last 2 or 3 games" Tommy Carr on Aidan O Shea. Jesus the man really is clueless #RTE #GAA
