I think Italia '90 was the first real sporting memory I have being 10 at the time. Days of endless games of soccer and then the games each night. Recollections of hiding behind the couch during the peno shootout due to the tension and then the entire world going batshit crazy when we won - lads in the middle of roundabouts, cars with tricolours etc …

Its amazing there hasn’t been more made of this in the media or online.

40 years ago today Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India, basically as she had been ordered by a court to resign and refused to do so. It led to among other things, hundreds of thousands of people being sterilised on the orders of her son Sanjay.

You couldn’t be keeping into them Indians.

On this day 26 years ago the first ever live broadcast of a Munster final took place.
We disgraced ourselves.
The Black and Tans in blue and white, Kevin Cashman called us that day.

Ye were robust to say the least that day @Fagan_ODowd!
Noelie Crowley’s pull was rough enough.

On this day in 1922 Cathal Brugha passed away.

They did and the shame is still there with many posters on here. They can’t take what we’ve done and how we’ve got there, we have done all by ourselves, against all odds.

True Ulster grit.
