RTE GAA broadcast gatecrashed by fan wearing seagull mask in callback to All-Ireland final cameo

THERE was an uninvited guest on RTE’s half-time analysis of Galway vs Armagh – with a nod/beak to July’s All-Ireland final between them.

Tomás Ó’Sé and Peter Canavan were exposed to the elements throughout Galway’s 1-12 to 0-9 victory as they set up pitchside.

But that meant they were also exposed to spectators who fancied being seen as well as heard.

And harking back to July’s altogether better weather conditions, one punter chanced joining them for a moment while wearing an homage to a memorable cameo during the All-Ireland decider.

He momentarily posed alongside Kerry legend Ó’Sé before slinking back towards his seat having made his mark to those watching on TV.

It was all a bit surreal but we imagine whomever it was under that mask is delighted to have pulled off their moment of gull-ory.

The most consequential moment of the evening though came post-match when Kieran McGeeney revealed star player Rian O’Neill is taking a break from his panel that could last ‘months’.

The Armagh boss explained: “He’s taking a bit of time out for himself at the minute.

“I don’t know whether it’s weeks or months. We said we’d give it to him.”

Asked if O’Neill will be involved this season, McGeeney said: “When it’s personal, I try not to ask any questions.

“He was in for a while and he’s training. He’s just taking a bit of time for himself. That’s it.”

The 2002 All-Ireland winning captain also bemoaned their lack of discipline for having cost them on the night.

He added: “Silly stuff like discipline cost us dearly. It cost us about 1-2 and with no need for it.”

About ten minutes from the final whistle being blown Niall Grimley was shown a straight red card which personified McGeeney’s point.

Despite the ball being dead, Grimley punched his counterpart in the stomach and was duly given his marching orders after his infraction was spotted by the linesman.

A home game against Ulster rivals Tyrone on Saturday is next on the agenda for Armagh as the Sam Maguire holders look to get their 2025 off the ground.

Galway meanwhile, will have a fierce provincial battle of their own in Mayo on Sunday.

Tribe chief Pádraic Joyce added: “I wouldn’t be happy with a lot of stuff.

“We missed a good few there at the end, probably two or three good goal chances, a few scores when we were maybe just over-elaborating a bit too much.

“But it’s the first game of the league and I’d be very, very happy if someone told me this morning that we’d beat Armagh and get two points.”

Watch as British Airways plane is struck by lightning & cars are swept away as devastating floods wreak havoc in Brazil

THIS is the moment a British Airways plane was dramatically struck by lightning as devastating floods wreak havoc across Brazil’s largest city.

The Airbus A350 was parked at São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport when it was directly hit on its vertical stabilizer during a massive storm.

Incredible footage from Friday shows the electrifying moment as the lightning bolt connected to the fuselage for several seconds.

The plane, en route to London Heathrow, was delayed for inspections, while 21 other flights were redirected due to the severe weather.

Despite the shocking scenes, aviation experts confirmed to Brazilian media that lightning strikes on planes are common and generally harmless.

That’s thanks to advanced safety features that shield passengers from electrical discharge.

Elsewhere in São Paulo – a city with more than 11 million residents – chaos unfolded as heavy rains battered the city, dumping an entire month’s worth of rainfall in just hours.

Streets turned into rivers, cars were swept away, and one resident was spotted navigating the floodwaters on a jet ski.

Public transport ground to a halt, with locals crowding subway stations to escape the torrential downpour.

By Friday evening, over 120,000 Enel customers were left without power, with outages affecting nearly 180,000 homes at the storm’s peak.

Gusting winds and lighting added to the destruction, leaving neighbourhoods submerged and sparking urgent alerts from the Civil Defence.

For the first time, local authorities issued an emergency alert directly to residents’ phones, warning of the flooding and urging people to seek safety.

In the northern district of Vila Guilherme, part of the roof at the bustling Center Norte shopping mall collapsed under the weight of the rain.

Videos showed water cascading into the mall, forcing officials to cordon off sections for repairs, according to local outlet UOL.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

São Paulo has now entered a state of alert, with the city’s two major riverbanks threatened by rising waters.

The city remains braced for further impacts as thunderstorm season grips the region.

Brazil, once dubbed the “lightning strike capital of the world,” frequently sees fierce storms in January, adding to the challenges faced by residents during the rainy season.

It comes after “apocalyptic” floods caused massive destruction in the southern part of the country last year.

The heavy downpours in Rio Grande do Sul state cost the lives of at least 100 people while another 130 were missing.

The floods affected some 400 municipalities causing a great deal of destruction across the state leaving 230,000 residents displaced.

Rescue efforts had to be halted as forecasters kept predicting more rain and strong winds as days went by.

The floods, which ravaged the state last May, saw hundreds of houses submerged, with only their roofs visible as locals were using small boards and surfboards to move around.

It also destroyed major highways, bridges, airports and even football stadiums.

The state’s capital city Porto Alegre alone is home to about 1.4 million people, and authorities estimate it will cost up to £745 million to clean up the damage.

Moment cops detain Brit husband of ‘Lady of the Hills’ victim in Thailand 21 years after body found in UK beauty spot

THIS is the moment that British teacher David Armitage was detained by cops in Thailand 21 years after his wife was murdered.

The university lecturer was led away from his home by immigration police after his residency visa was revoked.

Officials acted after Interpol issued a Blue Notice which allows police to “collect additional information about a person’s identity, location or activities in relation to a criminal investigation”.

It is thought the notice was issued as part of the Lady of the Hills investigation by British cops into the murder of his Thai wife Lamduan.

At least seven immigration officials arrived at his home in the town of Kanchanaburi at 5pm last Thursday to detain him.

Bearded Armitage – wearing a blue jacket and shirt – hugged a woman outside his home and checked his gate was padlocked before being led to a waiting police car.

After being driven to a local immigration centre he was transferred to a facility in Bangkok where he will remain until he leaves Thailand.

He had 48 hours to lodge an appeal against the decision but failed to do so meaning he will now be deported.

The development came six years after he denied murdering his wife Lamduan when The Sun tracked him down to his remote home.

She had moved to the UK in 1991 after marrying Armitage, who is from Burton-in-Kendal, Cumbria, in Bangkok.

They settled in Portsmouth where Armitage worked as a teacher and Lamduan washed dishes in a Thai restaurant, before moving to Rugby, Warwickshire.

The mother-of-three vanished in the summer of 2004 but was never reported missing.

Her partially clothed body was found in a mountain stream around a mile from the village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, in the Yorkshire Dales.

She was dubbed the Lady of the Hills by villagers who buried her in an anonymous grave in Horton in 2007.

Her headstone reads: “The Lady of The Hills. Found 20th Sept 2004. Name Not Known. Rest in Peace.”

Cops initially thought her death was non-suspicious.

Around a decade later North Yorkshire Police’s cold case unit launched a fresh probe and declared her death was murder.

The mother-of-three was finally identified as Lamduan after fresh police appeals.

Her parents Buasa and Joomsri had spent years trying to find out what happened to her.

And since she was identified they have pleaded for her body to be returned to Thailand so they can hold a Buddhist funeral but she remains buried in Yorkshire.

Mum Joomsri told The Sun: “We have not had any update on the case for a couple of years and didn’t know about David’s detention.

“And we have not heard any more about her remains– we have no hope.”

Armitage never reported his wife missing when she vanished in 2004 and shortly after he moved to Thailand with his two children.

The Sun tracked him down to his remote home in 2019 when he denied murdering her.

He said there had been a whispering campaign against him in the Thai media but added: “I didn’t kill my wife. Absolutely not.

“I know the inferences are there but I’m just getting on with my life. It’s been a long time.”

He said he would cooperate with police but when North Yorkshire officers flew to Thailand to speak to him in February 2023 he declined to meet them.

Immigration police acted after Interpol issued a Blue Notice and it was decided that Armitage, 62, came under the Section 12(7) of the Thai Immigration Act.

That states foreigners can be deported if they are “likely to cause disruption jeopardising public peace or safety or the kingdom security or being a person with warrant of arrest issued by a foreign government.”

A Blue Notice is not an arrest warrant but it was decided Armitage still met the test and he will now have to leave Thailand.

He is free to travel to any country he chooses but if he returns to the UK North Yorkshire Police said they were keen to speak to him.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of the detention in Thailand of David Armitage, the husband of Lamduan Armitage.

“We understand it relates to his visa status and residence in Thailand and is entirely a matter for the Immigration Service of the Royal Thai Police.

“Should Mr Armitage be deported, we understand that he will have a choice as to where he goes, which will include return to the UK.

“Should that occur, we will again make every effort to speak to him about the investigation.”
