Laochra Gael - Back, and to the left hand on top

A lot of fuck ups righted in the last 3 years.

Not the same sadly but obviously wonderful to have achieved.

Ah well. Put it this way. At least I can put away the old video recorder now and frame my vhs tape of the 73 final.

I was chatting to a Muldoon one time and he said he and his mates used to practice shoulders against a concrete wall…did you ever hear of such a practice ? I found it utterly bizarre

Was he from Kerry? They can tell Dubs anything and they’ll believe it

They must have had some set of forwards with the 3 Dooley’s, John Troy and Pilkington. Great scoring potential in that 5.

In fairness the two goals that got them back into game in final in 1998 were as agricultural as you’d see …errity ploughing through , then his drop shot attempt that literally trickled into whelehans path …

What position did Errity play? You wouldn’t see too many inter-county players of that build these days!

Am I right in thinking that Brian mcevoy had two great opening halves in both 98 and 99 finals ?

Savage

Think he was originally a full back and then fcuked in full forward

Didnt Whelehan have a dose of the flu before the 98 final and that’s why they put him up front?

Kinnahan was a great full back wasn’t he? They had some lad I hadn’t previously heard of who pilfered a late goal after the Dooley free in the 94’ All-Ireland judging by Laochra Gael.

Wexford did well to beat them in 96’ and 97’. Nearly managed it in 98’ too I think.

I don’t know ,thought they said the other night it was because Brian mcevoy was doing well on him

Pat O Connor. In and out like a flash. Effective as a battering ram when Errity got tired

Nah, Whelehan was sick as a small plane going to Lourdes
