What was in it for him to tear it up for a car park?
You’d say something if he turned it into an extra GAA pitch or something.
Rather thank do some repairs, they ripped it up because it was easier turn it into a car park, rather than give up one of the GAA pitches.

Was at that - a Friday night in Croker. Only 2 players kept away from the free for all skirmishing - Shane Dalton from Vinnies and Brian Talty from Parnells. Lar Foley was taking on all comers in the Lower Cusack too.
Mad days but you’d get a good crowd at a VdeP match, let alone a league match, back then.

Didn’t they play eachother on stephens day for a few years as a way of repairing relations … glen o Neill was a very good footballer
Would that have been Vincent’s first team down in intermediate in the early 90’s? I’d say Dublin intermediate would be cut throat these days if it wasn’t for Senior B.
No, it was Vincent’s second team, the only second team to win it in a twenty year period or so. Intermediate was cut-throat enough back then alright!
Vinnies poached him from Clontarf when he was very young. His brother Declan “Scruffy” Mullins played for Clontarf for years. Scruffy was shite.

met the brother a few times, think he was into cricket?
I wonder was it the same brother?
lad i met worked in the civil service
Scruffy used to work in Agriculture originally, so could well be the same chap.
Is this a euphemism?
Is there a database where you can see how many members each club has?
860 for Crossmaglen and 745 for Corofin would be more than many proper urban clubs across the country would have I’d imagine.
Are Finbar’s of Cabra still going? You’d imagine most of the decent lads out that direction are playing with Plunketts
Finbarr’s are very much still going. They’d nearly be on a par with Plunketts now.

They are but with limited playing facilities. Played a football match against them last week. Rough and tumble but smashing bunch of lads
