Another below the belt blast there mate. Thatâs harsh.
I was watching that ad in the company of a lady. She said, Fagan, you played a lot of sport in your day, is that what dressing rooms are really like, would a fellow really make a show of himself like that. I said yes, in my day there was always some fucking eejit who took things way too seriously who would go on like that, but some other fellow would puncture his bubble and make a laugh and a skit out of him and your man would be seething by the time he went out on the pitch.
In your day would you ever have employed manic aggression to put the fear of God into your opponent?

Oh jaysus yes.
Youâd better edit it you cunt.

I know. He spelt diddiesbury wrong.
Iâve never seen anybody make a joke about some mad lad going a bit wild in the dressing room.
Is there something wrong with you?
ChocolateMice:Are there inter-county players posting on this forum, mate?
I played football for Kilkenny.
As did I and @Locke, we hardly played together though
Unlikely, but Jaysus what memories

Our team was an extremely tight group, I remember the names of about 3 players
- Noel Hickey
- Brian Hogan
- Blackie
After that??
If there wasnât a hurley bate off the table you were at nothing.
I was the kind of a fella that needed a fire lit under me to perform. We had a great manager back in the day who work us up into a frenzy before a game⌠belittling the opposition, stirring a siege mentality and smashing the hurl off the larch table as he foamed up.
Youâd hit the pitch completely wound up, in the zone.

I was the complete opposite, needed to get on the pitch with minimum fuss, would steer clear of any roaring or shouting in the dressing room as it would only interupt my zen-like focus on the game (this may have seemed like casual indifference to others)

I had to do it this year with a team after they put in a particularly gutless performance in the previous game. Worked to to a certain extent. Put in by far our best performance of the campaign but still lost to a proxy goal. I also had to take a lad off before he got himself sent off.
Nope. I was part of a trail blazing minor team in the early 90âs. We missed a penalty to go 2 PST up with 10 mins to play v Wicklow then they went on to put around 4 goals past us as we were so deflated. Meath beat them in the Leinster final.
to a proxy goal
A goal scored by a third team?

I like to mix computers and football. I routed all play through the full forward who eventually buried the goal.
Good tactic, cunt when he falls over thoughâŚ
Did you bring the little chaps to McDonalds after the game?
