Morning chaps. Iām only surfacing now after what was a fantastic day. Iām not going to start name-checking people, but I appreciated all the kind messages and posts sent to myself and the other Galway lads.
I really feel for @anon70480284, @Fagan_ODowd and the Waterford fans - itās heartbreaking to lose a final, but Waterford played a massive part in a cracking game, which turned out to be a real tactical arm wrestle. The point scoring on both sides was unbelievable at times, and Iām looking forward to watching it back.
Despite allegations of the contrary by one particular embittered individual on here, there was massive emotional investment in that Galway team from the supporters. The reason people didnāt go apeshit or run onto the pitch like yahoos was maybe borne out of a respect for the Waterford fans who found themselves in a position weāve been in many times since 1988.
Make no mistake though, that win was for Keady. TĆ” Craobh na hĆireann ar ais i nGaillimh!
Burke mentioned it in the speech. He said something about them having their differences. How correct i am on words used is cagey but he definitely let me with the impression there had been conflicting ideas
Ya. Worked out sweetly in ways. He didnāt cause wreck or anything but him being there curbed TDBās influence further out.
On a side note. Tadgh De Burca was never called Tadgh De Burca before a mistake on a match program. He was abd always has been Tadgh burke to everyone who knows him.
Glynn wasnāt happy with the way Cunningham was treated and headed off to the states. He comes back in just as things started looking rosey.Getting the start may have rankled with a few especially the lads that were dropped.
Just out of bed boys. Had the weirdest dream.
It was the Hurling final and we were there to take our routine beating
We scored no goals and our keeper left his contacts in his locker.
There was no one giving out about the ref
There was no on giving out about Joe Canning
There was no one giving out about dirty strokes from the opposition
There was a tribal, almost primal connection with everyone
There were legends remembered while new minor shaped legends started to form
I saw David Burke lifting some trophy and a strange, almost eerie clam entered my Soul
I dunno wtf is going on, I should really just go back to bed but thereās a half eaten snackbox in the way.
