Donāt mind the cunts they can put it back to next Spring if they like and Tommys will still batter them
The Galway County board are a fucking jokeā¦ Gort were dead right to ask for a week as one of their best players has covid and isnāt great and his dad has it and is on a ventilatorā¦

The lifeblood of the GAA is its club hurlers and footballers. Supported by their management and club volunteers, these people make incalculable sacrifices for the love of our game and community. They give it their all in a spirit of unity, loyalty in accordance with the GAA ethos; āGive respect, get respectā.
We are acutely aware of the financial, emotional and other investments made in our team by our club officers, generous sponsors and wider community who have supported us relentlessly.
As a group of players and management, above all else, we have a duty of care to our neighbours and families. We also have a duty of care to St. Thomasā Hurling club and match officials.
We do not wish to compromise the privilege of representing our club and community in a county semi final. These are indeed the days we have all dreamed of and worked so hard for. However, we cannot, under ultimatum or otherwise, compromise on our aforementioned duty of care.
At present we have a positive covid-19 case with an underlying heart issue within our panel and 3 players showing COVID-19 symptoms awaiting test results.
We respectfully ask that the county board reschedule the game and allow the competition to be completed when it is safe to do so. Regrettably, for reasons outlined, our players and management cannot fulfill this fixture.
Le meas,
Gort Senior Hurling Team

Gort seem at pains to mention their duty of care. If so, why is a player with an underlying heart condition part of their panel?
More innocent times for sure. These days we would have got Tony off on some technicality.
Those cunts above in Leitrim fucked us

Been living out there for ages anyway.
I was reading in the Sunday Times there a few weeks ago that Eddie was part of the Galway County Board selection panel that interviewed and recruited King Henry.
He certainly dresses that way
