Itās gotten better - At least Hydeās section has with a nice clubhouse and gates etcā¦ A cunt of a pitch during winter tho.
Soft bogger cunts couldnāt handle a few rocks
@Julio_Geordio, @myboyblue and @TreatyStones eat your heart out.
Donāt have the link here but have you seen the gaa history blog piece on the ground being owned by the gaa and known as canon punch park?
I keep meaning to start a TFK mini series āshit Iāve seen happening on Hyde road on my way home from workā.
Itās a different world there altogether.
The other day for example there was a cop pulled in on the side of the road talking to this fella, you couldnāt hear what the conversation was but you could tell the ācivilianā (for want of a better word) was absolutely fucking the cop out of it. Roaring like a lunatic in the window at him.
A couple of weeks ago, a kid came across the road in front of me Tayto from into the west style, above on a horse without even looking to see if a car was coming. Couldnāt have been more than ten 
Thereās a block of boarded up houseās about halfway down the road and every day thereās three or four lads sitting outside of it drinking cans where theyāve removed one of the boards covering the door, itās obviously their stash house or something. Itās like something from the wire.
Is it true about April Collins and one her watchers?
I havenāt but know a man that probably knows quite a bit about the wider area and GAA in the 20s-50sā¦actually his thesis has just gone up online Iāll post up a link when I get to a compā¦ Not solely about sport but Limerick society in the wake of independence.

Thatās quite interesting, Iāve read the first 12 pages and could see myself continuing, heās got a nice personal style of writing, almost conversational.(read the bottom of page 9 and page 10)
Yeah, heās a pensionerā¦returned to education in his 50sā¦itās a life time work really.
When I was about 12, we played Hyde in a āpre-season friendlyā. Away.
Wasnāt the friendliest affair in the world, we didnāt know what to make of the place tbh. The players were all grand enough but we had every one of our footballs stolen by the āsupportersā.
And they hammered us 7-2.
Big like for that mouse. Will read it all on hols. Picked the piece on the young munster fusiliers and enjoyed it.
There appears to have been huge differences between ira battalions on social grounds
Itās very interesting stuff alright and his own family feature a bitā¦like I said, itās a lifetimeās work.
