Yeah just came on a sub for the county. Went to block a ball and whatever way he blocked it his finger was left hanging on with sinew.

Always a pleasure to see newcomers initiated into the searing cauldron of bitterness and resentment that is Galway GAA. None of this “shouting for the neighbours” soft-cockery you’d see in the other hurling counties.

Dunno are you old enough to remember the Loughrea Athenry rivalry from late 90s til Portumna took over but a bus load from Loughrea went down to shout for Birr against Athenry in the All Ireland semi one year. I shit you not.

Loughrea arn’t simple by the looks of it? They had some bitter rivalry with Portumna if i recall correctly.

Loughrea have an unmerited reputation for being filth over one incident.

My man on the ground in Turloughmore told me Clarinbridge were “too watery” to win the County Championship, while Brady was saying there on the podcasht last week that Turloughmore themselves were “too wishy washy”.

Go figure :man_shrugging:

Pulled across his head. Permanent damage to hearing in one ear. Tinnitus i think it’s called. Constant ringing.

It’s what keeps us going. One generation to the next. Usually it’s bad blood stemming back to a dispute over a fence or a lad overcharging for a calf in the 1920s. But It’s never ever forgotten.

And he a walking gentleman. I know the cunt that did it. An absolute ape of a man.

The Turlougeens were at the same craic in the 60s by all accounts. You couldn’t hate them enough.

I have had several dealings with Eanna Ryan and can confirm that he’s a gent of the first degree.
