Demeanour: Too cool for school
Other Notes: None
I spotted him first.
You thought you spotted him but you sought clarification on it. But letâs not engage in an unseemly public row of the type Glenda & Rosanna were involved in last year.
Who - Shay Given / Keith Andrews / Kevin Kilbane
Famous For - Being Irish International footballers
Where - Spar, Strand Road, Portmarnock
When - Today, 18.30
Details - I went into Spar to collect some Lotto winnings and found the 3 lads browsing the newspapers. Andrews and Kilbane were flicking through the paged of red tops but Given appeared to be reading a story in the metro edition of the Irish Independent. Andrews then took the bull by the horns and bought the Evening Herald.
Keith must be very interested in what Paul Hyland has to say. Iâll keep an eye out from now on for either of the three lads claiming to ânever read the papersâ. especially on âthe week before a big gameâ.
Who: Gabriel Byrne
Famous for: Playing Pat Barry in The Riordans and Bracken, heâs been in a few flicks too.
When: Tuesday 24th May 2011, 6.10pm
Where: Vodafone shop, Grafton Street, Dublin 2
Wearing: Sunglasses, dark jacket, blue jeans.
Demeanour: Happy, doesnât look anywhere near 61 years of age.
Other Notes: I was entering the shop as Gabriel was exiting, he walked across the road into a camera shop.
Who: Nicky English
Famous for: Tipperary hurling legend.
When: Sunday 29th May 2011, 3.49pm
Where: The old stand, Semple Stadium, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Wearing: Light jacket, blue shirt, beige chinos.
Demeanour: Seemed in high spirits.
Other Notes: Nicky was obviously attending last Sundayâs Munster Senior Championship match between Tipperary and Cork. He was in the company of two former teamates, Bobby Ryan and Donie OâConnell.
Who: Liam Sheedy
Famous for: Former Tipperary hurling manager and current Sunday Game panellist.
When: Sunday 29th May 2011, 3.52pm
Where: The old stand, Semple Stadium, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Wearing: Tipperary jacket, blue jeans.
Demeanour: Jovial enough.
Other Notes: Liam was obviously attending last Sundayâs Munster Senior Championship match between Tipperary and Cork. He was in the company of his daughter. He initially went to section 204 and took a seat about four rows down from me. He evidently went to wrong section as he had to move to section 202(not great seats, the county board obviously looking after him). Signed a few autographs on his wayâŚ
Who: Tom Parlon
Famous for: A PD and the voice of the Construction Federation. Also Head of the IFA a while back.
Where: Kildare Street, Dublin 2, across the road from Leinster House
When: Yesterday 31/5/2011 at 7.15pm
Wearing: A suit
Company: Two other gentlemen, neither of whom I recognised.
Demeanour: Good humoured.
Other notes: Parlon was deep in conversation with the two gentlemen as I passed them. The conversation took the form of one which three lads would have in a pub, with one lad telling a potentially funny story (Parlon) and the other two listening. Parlon mentioned about some fella he knew âgoing on one of those fucking⌠ah what do you call it⌠yâknow when you head off on a trip with workâ, to which one of his company answered with âa junket?â. âAye, thatâs it a junketâ said Parlon. He seemed to have a great story to tell about someone he knew going on a junket, which is hardly surprising.
Very surprisong that the word âJunketâ did not flow off Parlons tongue.
Who - John Delaney

Famous For - Looking like a total simpleton; Running the FAI
Where - Upstairs of Diceys beer garden

Submit it and iâll see then, but it will need to be a good one, pal.
Not a spot. Iâm tightening up things around here and no-marks wonât be let through.
Excellent spots, DB.
Byrne is a spot. The other tards arenât spots. Anyone from Tipperary, with the exception of Shane McGowan, will not be deemed a spot under new rules.
Not a spot. Youâve had a good run Farmer but this fella falls into the Christy Phelan category as explained earlier.
Thatâs a spot.
Tremendous work Dunph. Swift, efficient and fair.
Farmer will be seething especially after promising The Dumph one.
Not fair
Ah you couldnât expect Liam Sheedy and Nicky English at a Tipperary hurling match to be let through.
MBB, I am not seething. Dunph has made it clear why they werenât spots and Iâll accept his decision on this one.
That wasnât the reason given , the Dunph clearly has issues with the Premier County that cloud his judgement, objectivity is what the role of the adjudicator is all about and unfortunately Dunph has shown an utter lack of it here.
I would point out that the new adjudicator as of tonight has already made a ruling on this
My own opinion is that only those GAA players that have a national profile should be deemed spots.
I can confirm that both Nicky English and Liam Sheedy do have a national profile and I expect Bandage to vindicate my spots in due course.
Bandage a ruling required. Is Paul Doolin a celeb?
dunph & bandage
is the voice of Ireland Gary OâBrien a spot?
just saw him there- he mentioned only 50 punters were in navan this last week
Hang on, what the fucks going on here? I thoguht Bandage was the adjudicator, I didnât vote for it to be sub contracted to the Dunph.
(this is not an attack on the Dunph by the way, who I would never doubt, its more a point of principle)
