capability has nothing to do with it…for a start he wouldn’t be eating a roll on a regular basis… you’re out of touch pal… …the game has passed you by …
[QUOTE=“twiceasnice97, post: 1044749, member: 1061”]the point being that in all the time he is going in there he never once even hinted that he played hurling you fcuking idiot.
Thats a rare enough quality in a human being that they wouldn`t even let slip a hint about it.
Good for you re canning as he is your county man but the fact is canning has played really badly as often as he has played well. thats simply not the case with mcgrath[/QUOTE]

apparently there’s a guy who goes to donnybrook fair and tells the person behind the counter to throw on a topping for every score he got for his team in a county final many moons ago…an odious individual by all accounts…
well you think it must take some sort of extra effort to order at a deli counter without mentioning he is a hurler.
FFS sake. what kind of dumb shit is this. Lad orders a roll in a deli, doesnt mention he plays hurling, so its a great trait in his character.
Do you think Henry Shefflin goes in and buys his rolls in centra saying:
"brown roll please, some spicy chicken, mayo and lettuce please, and hollowed out too, I am a hurler you should know.
So he gets a plain cheese sandwich?

A former Tipperary and Clare star of yesteryear used introduce himself as *** **** the hurler when working as an insurance salesman.
yeah, whilst uppity, if he is a salesman you do what you have to to get the job. If that means selling your name. He was employed I’m sure with his profile as part of it, like other salesman who are well known players who use their profile to boost sales.
Hardly, at all, similar to buying a fecking baguette in a deli.

Yeah I know, it was just an anecdote.
[QUOTE=“twiceasnice97, post: 1044159, member: 1061”]I was talking to him in a deli in limerick the other day As he was departing i congratulated him on winning the county final which the lady at the till over heard. she asked me did he play sport so i explained to her who he was.
she was in shock since he has been going in there for years and they hadn`t a clue who he was.
class act on and off the field
i wouldn`t swop him for any forward in the country at present[/QUOTE]
Where is that post of the year thread?
Have any project financiers here ever travelled on a road or visited a hospital or stadium or prison or airport or university or something they’ve financed without mentioning it to the staff working there?
John O’Donoghue certainly mentioned it anyway.
“I hope that the irony will not be lost upon you, that I stand here on my evening of defeat, in a hall, this magnificent sports complex, which I helped to build”.
They never seem as excited about it as I was
I bought a jeans the day after winning TFKNFLFFL back in 2012/13 and never mentioned it to the shop assistant.
I’d say you found it hard not to tell her about your county final exploits though.

An utter cunt.
I usually go shopping in January with @Rocko; our bargain hunting after Christmas has become a tradition at this stage. Apparently he told her about me scoring all the points in the final when I was trying on the jeans in the dressing room. She couldn’t believe how modest I was. I’d been going in there for 4 years previously and never once mentioned it. Class act in and out of department stores.
@farmerinthecity - Paul O’Connell seemed very embarrassed that time in UL when both his Heineken cup medals fell out of his gear bag.
Is that a typo or would you commonly use the term “a jeans”
A pair of jean is roaster 101.
Ah come on - there’s no need to bring that up.
