Galway - quadruple travails part 2

I was at a presentation given by Des Ryan recently. This is excellent news. The man is on the ball.

Hmm. Neither first nor surname fills me with confidence

Serious stink of them pulling up the ladder here

Goddammit you’re right. We need to get Hulk Hogan.

The man who passed it to Joe for the greatest point ever seen in Croke Park.

His clubmate might step in

An absolute trooper. Be a long time till we have a midfielder with cut to them like Johnny.

Johnny is definitely an alright sort. Would still have a lot to offer. Best of luck to him in retirement.

For a while it looked like Coen was driving out of bounds. Had a great journey after completing the course in 2017.

He was scapegoated a few times when things didn’t go our way but 2017 wouldn’t have happened without him. A great soldier for the cause and a great man to steer a golf cart after a few sing songs.

That was a great handpass

The vision to pick out Joe on the line under the most high pressure enviroment
The execution of it - Roy Curtis wrote on ode to the handpass about it iirc, wildly regarded as one of his finest pieces ever.

Twas like a bullet out of a gun

The speed of his hand was something else. You’d need to watch it back on slow motion to fully appreciate how quickly it happened.

Roy Curtis is brilliant

I would have that framed.

I was sitting/standing beside Buff Egan during that passage of play. I gave him an ould hug, even during the euphoria of it all I couldn’t get over how easy it was to lift buff, there is no meat on him at all.

Johnny’s auld lad used teach us in the tech. He wouldn’t have been blessed with patience and was never ìn great shape on a Monday morning after a heavy weekend. We had him for treble tech drawing first thing Monday morning in a woodwork room. The boyos could sense the weakness and learning was low on their priorities. They knew he’d kill them if he caught them so would be subtle enough trying to get the rise but they were nothing if not determined. They wanted Tommy to blow a fuse.

I was sitting beside a quiet country lad who was a straight A student and wouldn’t say boo to a ghost. Tommy was walking beside our table one morning and the chap beside me hit off a button and set off some machine by accident. Tommy got an awful fright, jumped and let out a yelp. I had to stop him from killing the poor chap. Tommy goathered himself and realised it probably was an accident. The boyos were delighted.

Happy Retirement, hopefully the handpass action comes to him in club action
