I remember hearing a story a bout Johnny Pilkington once.
Offaly SHC game on a Sunday morning.
Pilkington turns up as the boys are getting ready to go out. Togs out slowly. Boys decide to do a bit of a warm up in the dressing room to give him a chance tog out.
Pat Joe starts giving it loads geeāing the boys up.
Pilkington sits there humming to himself.
Boys tear the door off running out on the field.
Pilkington sauters out the door.
Turns around.
Comes back in.
Pulls a hurl out the bag.
Walks out.
Fires over 8 points from play with a fag at half time to keep the energy levels up.
I recieved a death threat at a shamrock rovers game. The matter is still in the hands of the Gardai but they are expecting to make arrests in the next few weeks.
It was the same game. The threat was written on a supermacs napkin and stuck to the side of the can. The Gardai have narrowed it down to the 3 Shamrock Rovers fans who can write.
So did I but it was robbed on me and I saw it as a sign to never wear a helmet again. The accident and emergency staff at a couple of hospitals didnāt really see the logic behind my thinking
