Fair play to Clare, I tipped them to do well this year so I can't say I'm that surprised to see them in an All-Ireland final, a final of which should be a belter considering both Clare and Cork are two teams that don't really focus on the physical side of the game but more so on pace and skill and that's great to see.
The Galway minors did well for themselves as well seeing off Limerick in extra time but shure listen a lot of peoplein this part of the world won't get that excited about the minors in yet another All-Ireland final, it'll be mighty if they win don't get me wrong but while other counties like Clare and Kilkenny for example build on underage success the lads over the Galway set-up are to busy fecking around and trying to cut one another's throats. The pricks. Matty Cunningham has resigned since.
I've made it up there, since the Galway seniors last won an All-Ireland way back in fecking 1986 the Galway minors took part in 15 All-Ireland finals winning 8 of them. The U21's made it to 16 All-Ireland finals since and won 7 and I might as well throw it in while I'm at it, 17 All-Ireland club championship finals winning 11 of them and yet in all that time Liam McCarthy didn't as much as once as call once to see how we're getting on. feck that shit!
I was talking to Packie Callaghan above in Linnane's last night (Sylvie was above in it and was under the weather too) and he was telling me he has being following Galway for over 55 years, he told be he used to cycle up to Croke Park to see them back when Sylvie, McInerney, Lynskey Hayes and co were at it but he said if current crowd were playing abroad in the square that minute he wouldn't get up off his stool to go out and see them, he's finished with them he said. That'll tell you the way things are now or the overall mood in the county, we're at boiling point and there'll be someone killed over it yet, a few weeks ago some bastard on the Galway hurling forum wanted to meet me in Kenny park Athenry for a scrap ffs and I a quite enough sort of a lad, the forum was pulled down altogether the other day I see. Terrible to the world of god.
Back on topic, I don't think TBP is real, he's too perfect.
Far from it moses, far from it and even though I bought one of those GAA watches they were selling in the post offices last christmas and have a Cooper cap belonging to Davy Fitz I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near being the fan of the year either, there's thousands and thousand of other lunatics around the country far more worthy of that tag!
TBP has to be my favourite poster. Every time he makes me chuckle.
Up Tyrone, do whatever it is ye have to do to beat what's in front of ye, pull them down, hack them whatever it takes and feck the begrudgers!
I better go and do a bit now.
