Ronan OâGara and family (4 kids, prolific scorer) plus au pair in Shannon airport this morning. He was returning from the US on an overnight flight and was not in great form. I threw him a quick âca va?â, he gave me a dirty look and I responded with a Gallic shrug. That was the end of that.
Is that a âdisallowedâ runty?
The Rugby Rule
Who - Republic of Ireland ace, Damien Duff
Famous for - Loving his bed, always looking knackered on the field and being a thoroughly alright sort
Where - Exchequer Street, Dublin City Centre
When - Friday evening
Any other details - Duffer was walking briskly as he passed me in the seasonal Dublin rain, accompanied by a young lady who appeared slightly taller than the wing wizard but this may have been down to her choice of footwear. His dress sense didnât impress me very much, slip on trainers with no socks, skin tight red trousers, a light jacket, topped off with a baggy grey wooly hat. His female acquaintance was a tidy bit of stuff and once they were both gone past me I was disappointed with myself for not paying more attention to her.

I often wondered if he had cosmetic surgery?

[INDENT]Who - Friend of the Forum John Delaney
Famous for - being John Delaney
Where - The Mall & BOI ATM Main St. Malahide, Co. Fingal.
When - This afternoon at 15.42 pm
Any other details - I spotted John walking briskly towards the diamond as he passed the Esso garage, he crossed the road in front of me and continued to walk towards the village centre. John was talking on the phone as he walked enabling me to catch up to him and attempt to listen in on his conversation. The other party seemed to be doing most of the talking and unfortunately I was unable to glean any classified information or TFK exclusives. I stopped to use the ATM machine, John also stopped and waited his turn behind me. He was minus his suit jacket and his striped shirt was tucked in at the front but out at the back, a new fashion trend no doubt, he also wore a pair of shades. I wouldnât be surprised to see him around a local hostelry or two later on. [/INDENT]

Surely you could have offered him your place in line? A small show of respect for a man that has done so much for Irish and european football.he was probably taking out a few ton to buy scoops for the hard pressed Irish soccer fans of Fingal - fair play to him.
There was no line mate, I strode purposefully straight to the ATM and only realised he was behind me after I had begun my transaction.

Ronnie Whelan Jr. gave up his seat at Manchester airport for my nan last week. My mother was there too and they both said heâs a lovely man. Gave them a nice wave goodbye after heâd collected his baggage and all.
Have you considered the fact that your purposeful stride to the machine may have overtaken him just as he slowed to withdraw his card etc? You were behind him earlier, Iâd hate to think your purposeful movements might be interpreted as rude or aggressive by Mr Delaney.
I fear Mr Delaney took his eye of the ball and was too engrossed in his telecon to fully attend to the matter in hand. I did overtake him a good 10m before the ATM. Nothing in his demenour or actions suggested an imminent visit to the ATM and Iâm quite satisfied that my actions could not be construed as rude or agressive .
Who - Steve Staunton
Famous For - Being a Former Liverpool, Aston Villa and Ireland defender, a Former Irish manager and for having a comical voice
Where - Finnegans Pub in Dalkey
When - 5.30pm this evening
Attire - Stan was wearing a stone coloured shirt (top two buttons opened), dark grey suit trousers and a pair of brown loafers. A most stylish yet casual ensemble
Any other details - The Gaffer was enjoying a few social pints with two others in a secluded part of the bar. The conversation was about football, and more specifically what the current state of elite youth development in Ireland. He was drinking Smithwicks, and judging by the slightly loud level of conversation and his animation when spekaing, it was not his first by any means. Stan seemed to be in good spirits and was happy to give a friendly reply to anyone who said hello. A gentleman and a scholar.
The actor Lochlainn OâMearain (from Ros na RĂșn, Glenroe and most recently, those Bord Bia ads about lamb, eggs etc) was also in the bar at the time, but Iâd be taking the piss if I put him up as a celeb spot.
Bumper week for Finnegans.
Absolutely. Iâd say they couldnât have it any better when Bono and Michelle popped round⊠and then Stan walks in.
