GAA All Star Wars

Well if it’s troubling you, Bobby’s mickey is about two inches off the ground and I keep the programmes a little bit higher than that. Bobby is also house trained.

See @Fagan_ODowd 's response. These chaps would buy 6 or 7 copies of the programme for a Limerick-Wexford football qualifier so they can swap spares ones for programmes from equally attractive qualifier games like Sligo-Antrim and Offaly-Cavan and so on.

Crikey. They’ve more than one copy of programmes. That’s odd behaviour.

Appendage Senior kept programmes from many of the games he attended, back as far as the 1960 All Ireland. Found them very interesting as a chap.

Austain surly will get one

But he is not or was not one these obsessed collector types.

Shamefully I have no programmes in the house.

The real cute hawks will just pick the ones up that people leave behind them after the match. Hundreds of people leave them behind.

Do you have any of those unofficial programmes that used to be knocking around in the early 80’s?

I have an unofficial programme for the 1989 All-Ireland hurling final between Antrim and Tipperary in an attic in Dublin.

If I’d known you were interested in unofficial programmes I could have scanned it and posted it up on the forum for you when when I was up in Dublin at the weekend.

But to be honest I don’t think you’re missing much by me not doing so.

It’s great to see them drag the shit out of it. They’ll be drinking away up there till the new year. Enjoy the celebrations lads

No problem. Think I have them from the 80 and 81 Munster finals. They were shite anyway.

Must have been some size of a house.

Yes I would.

A few.

Unofficial programmes tended to be printed on larger sheets of paper than the official ones but you’ll find most houses can accommodate them safely enough.

Would you have a Buffers Alley v Faythe Harriers1985 County Final programme? Need that one to complete the set back to 1981.

And a priest in Full Back

Got a few runs in the league if I remember correctly, played with St Pats in latter years, teak tough.

Won county senior titles with both Loughmore and Clonoulty. A hardy man.
