I don’t ride my princess, you despicable cunt, I make love to her. I’d explain the difference to you but what would be the point when you can’t even grasp basic arithmetic.
Kilkenny are the cannon fodder now, pal.
Is that why you’ve been binge eating pal?
You are going to get a serious puck in the wind pipe off me.
I can sense that you are loving Kilkenny’s demise, Fagan. Really loving it.
I’m glad for you.

Thanks Fran I knew you wouldn’t begrudge me a little joy in my life.
Never mind the spread bud, throw a pony on Laois on the nose, should pay for a good night out in Clems
Joe knows.
Tickets for the saturday nights game arrived this morning. Let the blood letting begin.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Sir, – My sense of elation on Saturday night in O’Moore Park, as the Dublin hurlers defeated Kilkenny in the Leinster championship, is difficult to put into words. Beside me was my father who was six years of age the last time Dublin achieved such a feat. Gaels up and down the country will appreciate that the feeling of sheer wonder at such a powerful Dublin performance stems not from the fact that we won a Leinster semi-final but that we out-played and out-fought what is almost certainly the greatest team in the history of the game.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]However, as I walked around the hallowed turf after the match, mingling with supporters from both sides exhibiting shock and disbelief for very different reasons, I was taken aback by a sight that will linger in my memory as long as the Dublin victory.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]There, in the middle of the field, some 10 minutes after the final whistle, stood Tommy Walsh of Kilkenny – still glistening with sweat in the warm evening sun, his jersey marked with splashes of blood; possibly his own, possibly not. He was surrounded by children decked both in sky blue and black and amber. He signed every single jersey and match programme. He posed for every single photograph. This man is not accustomed to the bitter of taste of defeat. This living legend who has garnered a record nine all-star awards in a row and won six all-Ireland titles and will surely see more of both, has never before been humbled at such an early stage of the championship. And yet, there he stood, as I watched in awe for a further 10 minutes, putting his arm around every youngster that was ushered before him by an eager parent and patiently waiting as yet another camera phone was pointed at him by an outstretched arm.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]What can I say? For anyone who wonders what is special and unique about the GAA, who wonders what makes it the finest organisation in this country with nothing even remotely like it in the rest of the world, who occasionally, like myself, unthinkingly takes for granted its place at the heart of communities up and down the island, I give you Tommy Walsh – the embodiment of the spirit of the GAA and, for that matter, what might just be great about the people of this country.[/FONT]

Chaps, are the two qualifier games involving Wexford, Waterford, Clare/Laois and Kilkenny/Tipperary fixed for Saturday week?
Yes, Saturday the 13th. I would presume that it will be a double header in Thurles as it has been the norm to play these games as a double header aside from the one year when Antrim and Dublin met in Croke Park and Tipp and Offaly played in O’Moore park 2010.
Although I believe Wexford are away to Longford at 2pm and it would be tight enough for fans to make both if the hurling was 5pm throw in

That’s my fear, bro. Double header in Thurles last year with Wexford v Cork followed by Limerick v Clare. Well, triple header if you count us losing to Tipperary in football first up. There’d be a fair few Wexford supporters who’d want to go to both.

What a fucking idiot. That Kilkenny team is shadow of the 4 in a row team.
And Tommy lost to Wexford in 2004’s Leinster semi-final.
Cop on Paddy if you’re reading and get your facts straight.

You told him.
I hope he gets the message.
I stopped reading when he referred to O’Moore Park as hallowed turf. Its barely a field with a few bits of concrete around it.
His address is on the letter, you can mail him and let him know.
