Today we reclaimed Limerick as Hurling Country.

You see in a city, a big space, a lot of people can be accommodated. Of course it’s going to look mobbed in some pokey little shithole like Ennis or Wexford town.

Marty Morrissey never saw anything like it - and he’s been to a few home comings… that man knows what he’s talking about, so he does.
A couple of twee nice touch’s as the bus made its way over Sarsfield Bridge. St Mary’s Bass And Reed (who I always associate with Shannon and rugby) played Sean South as the bus stopped beside them. The rowing club also formed a guard of honour with oars aloft.

Not so sure or optimistic as you pal. This was a scene from UL at same time of homecoming. IRFU brainwashing the next generation of headbangers. The enemy never sleeps.
@Bod95 picked me out of the 80,000 people in the Gaelic Grounds tonight — some going considering we had never met before… I quickly sent him @TreatyStones’ way ---- only for me to be then ambushed by @ciarancareyshurlingarmy — It was a TFK outing as much as a team home coming…

Your match outfit yesterday was beautifully put together mate, especially the shorts 
Fetching. Very very very fetching.
Overstated surely? Absolute cunts for sure but fuck all left. Maybe a few dairy farmers but that was about it.
A good few left the Cusack. First train back was 6:45, they were probably anxious not to miss it.
Would you keep track of Irish rail timetables as a hobby?

I was told tonight by a guy who ended up in a section full of Galway supporters than “10 or 12” of them came up to shake his hand as they left before the amount of additional time was announced
Nicky Barry was a stalwart for WRTC back in the day, now happily residing in Fingal.
I had a sound Limerick fella in front of me who was in a bad way when the 8 minutes went up. I kept telling him to relax to fuck that we hadn’t a notion of catching ye. 4 minutes later I had my programme rolled into a truncheon and was wielding it violently it the air and was baying for blood.
Twas the strangest of games.

No I was looking at the board waiting for my own.

Am I right in saying that the chase was almost as good as the prize?
I found 2017 sat strangely enough, pure relief and contentment with winning but something small missing… Hard to fathom it. You wait all that time and it arrives, and you’re glad and ecstatic but you come to your senses after a few days and weight it all up and its a strange one. Maybe it’s an age thing. I think I’ll need a second one with a bit of badmind thrown in to satisfy me.

It just doesn’t really affect your life in any way after a few days in my experience

It shouldn’t really, unless you’re a player.
