“Would you like to see me medal?”

A bit harsh, but he’s having a quiet year tipping away at corner forward for Na Piarsaigh. Not a pivotal spot, so he’ll need to work his way up the ladder.

Old Christian’s year next year - there’s no two ways about it…

They’re playing Crecora Saturday to see who makes the County.

anon61956325 · August 22, 2018, 1:24pm

Please god they’ll do it.

My old lad got so carried away over in Spain (lives there) he’s asked me to send on a pic of the 1972 Christian’s Feile na nGael team he was on - must be trying to impress some local senorita.

I see you @anon26343222 - How are Crecora set?

anon26343222 · August 22, 2018, 1:31pm

Where you see me!!

anon61956325 · August 22, 2018, 1:34pm

Every where…

Rent free…

Bod95 · August 22, 2018, 1:39pm

Tough one!!

balbec · August 22, 2018, 1:39pm

Doon and the Well will have a say as well.

Bod95 · August 22, 2018, 1:41pm

Can’t see it lads our main lads are on the go solid for almost 18 months at this stage

anon78624367 · August 22, 2018, 1:43pm

sure the most of them would have got a huge break this summer and lads like Casey, Dowling and Donoghue didn’t exactly overexert.

Downes and Dempsey were hardly used.

Casey could be hurt alright.

Dempsey, Lynch, Breen, Grimes etc all fresh and rested.

Bod95 · August 22, 2018, 1:47pm

Possibly but we have never retained the title of the big 4 Kilmallock would be the freshest with only Mul involved. Should be interesting all the same. I hope the crowds are a bit better at some of the matches, would be great to see 10k at a county final this year as opposed to the normal 3-4K.

anon78624367 · August 22, 2018, 1:48pm

ah yeah. There should be a jump now in attendances for everything next year

HfromHandW · August 22, 2018, 2:14pm

I don’t have a whole heap of wishes in my life (if you seen all the birds I’ve ridden, you’d probably say fair enough) but one real and longed for event was for the old man to witness another victory, having attended all since '73.
Amazing.

And you know what, he’s still occassionally bringing up a controversial 3 month ban on a Limerick hurler before the 74 or 80 or some other time, which he is still seething about.

The process of re-learning what it is to be fulfilled will probably take him a while.

A last point. One of his pet hates is “drink bans”. Regularly mentioned.
This year, no drink ban, 99s all round, win AI. That’s sports science.

Whoever wins the county title this year I hope they are beaten in the first round of the Munster club and get a rest.

ciarancareyshurlingarmy · August 22, 2018, 2:44pm

Could we send out Cappamore or Ballybrown?

anon61956325 · August 22, 2018, 2:46pm

Harsh but that’s the way it’s gone now …

Aristotle · August 22, 2018, 2:52pm

Ah lads, there’s such a buzz about the place, this is fucking dacent.

We are All-Ireland champions. Class.
