Treacys is an option, a long way out from Cork, and youâd have to sit at the bar and watch the tv though, but the grub is solid out for what youâre looking for.
Barring that, for Laois, for what you want, youâll really have to go off the motorway for a bit. O Loughlins on Main Street Portlaoise is an option, but a bit off the beaten track perhaps, especially parking wise. The Killeshin Hotel is on the Dublin Road out of Portlaoise, TVâs and decent grub.
I know very few going myself. I am told that a heap of junior championship matches were fixed for Saturday evening and underage games for Saturday morning. Will do well to have 2 to 3k from Clare at it.
You would almost swear Pat doesnât want people to travel.
My own lads had their blitz moved to Sunday from Saturday because of it and itâs after causing havoc with parents and we had to cancel the whole thing last night. Pat doesnât give a shite about clubs but one weeks notice of a game on Saturday shouldnât be tolerated imo
He said nothing about the steps from Aylward, the fcuk up by Skehill or the dive from Reid. It would have been an annihilation but for the ref. They are trying to make themselves sound better than what they are and have this invincibility aura about them. It is up to Limerick to muller the pricks, not sure we have the cojones either.
True, while heâs correct about their strong mentality that belief will soon erode if they keep getting beaten. Itâs the lads that have multiple all-Irelands that are keeping them competitive and none of them are getting any younger.
Bang of convincing himself theyâre still relevant at the top tier off it alright, along with sending a message to the players still involved. Youâre amazing, guys. Youâre not just doing it for yourselves, your teammates, your family and your clubs. Youâre doing it for the butcher, the priest and Maura who reckons she wouldnât be alive but for Kilkenny hurling. Youâd swear no other hurling teams had the support of family and the goodwill of the public locally.
Do yourself a favour and keep going. Football is shite.
If you really want to see it try and get to Portlaoise. Thereâs a fantastic Tapas bar /restaurant there that will delight the more discerning customer
I was laughing the last day with my pal after the drawn game saying I never in my lifetime could have envisaged a galway hurling team going in against kk in the championship slightly possibly complacent. The true sign of progress.
Iâm contemplating a COTY nomination for tyrell. He is a bit of a cunt. He also has a huge head on the literal sense. Heâs like something in a macnas parade.
