Hayes is a settled traveller is he?

Just is connections with harness racing. It’s often presented with a very negative tone for whatever reason.
I never understood why. It’s huge in France.
Don’t have to go back many generations on most families where a horse and trap was the only mode of transport.
No he’s not.
My grandfather took spuds into Limerick to sell them using this mode of transport.
He still had a donkey when I was a young lad.

Someone told me yesterday he was. It wouldn’t matter a fuck to me if he was or not so I’m not getting in some kind of dig or anything

Has Ryan infant kids? Or is Pfizer very good that way??
A few people I know around Limerick’s only encounter with it was wrecking their car or thinking they were about to die because the ‘racers’ were coming against using the full width of the road. Typically don’t stick around to share their insurance info either.

Don’t worry there was no badness in your post I know that.
Some lads are obsessed about people’s families as we’ve seen on here tonight for whatever reason.
They have a dairy farm.
A noble form of transport in my eyes.
I could be wrong on the years but in the 30s Kyle’s grand uncle was a famous Limerick hurler on the mick mackey team.
There was a bad fire in Limerick city and he lost a lot of his best horses. I think he played a very bad game a few days later in a Munster
Final.
Others might no more but that’s the gist of it anyway.
Harness racing is not on public roads.
I wouldn’t hold it against formula one because somebody dangerously overtook me on a road but people are different. I’m a live and let
Live guy.
With the influx of supporters who might be on a bandwagon or involved in Gaa because of a child but have no real previous skin in game?
These types aren’t able for the cut & thrust of hanging around lunatic townies or mental cluchies who lose all reason once the ball is thrown in.
Those Mayo bastards are the worst type I’ve encountered.
And Vienna. There’s a fine track just up from the football stadium.
I remember seeing harness racing on Swedish TV years ago.

Darragh Maloney and indeed Marty Morrissey seem obsessed with the Hoggie/TJ Reid scoring battle. It’s way OTT. A marker on the big screen yesterday to acknowledge Horgan hitting the 700 mark as if it wasn’t a completely random points tally to celebrate. Did they do the same for 600? The sheer volume of games in the modern era makes it a moot point really. Does anyone even know who the top scorer was before the Horgan/TJ battle? Joe Canning or Henry Shefflin? I mean Cillian O’ Connor is the football pacesetter and half the forum here wouldn’t even rate him.

It was absolutely bizarre that was put up on the big screen yesterday.

Great to see Cork will be staying at The Burlington and having a proper function for it.
You couldn’t have Alan Connolly getting the MOTM award wearing shorts in the smoking area of Reardons.

Mickey Cross?
If Hayes was injured in that race and missed yesterdays game with Cork winning you gobshites would be whinging like fuck over it.
Don’t try and paint peddlers opinion as anything other than it plainly is.

I’d also like to see different records separated. The Guys in the 20s and 30s were guaranteed one game.
It’s beyond ridiculous all their records are being wiped due to this current format.
