The Official TFK Father's Issues Thread. I don't know how they do it

I’ve never liked cats, horrible fuckers everyone of them I’ve ever encountered. So last Saturday morning when I opened the front door here was a kitten, I’d say a couple of months old, sitting looking up at me. After failing to scatter the thing out comes the 4 year old and immediately and unconditionally fell in love with the fur ball. Bowls were bought, new cat beds bought, blankets for the cat, you name it herself went and got it. After failing to find an owner, the cat became part of the fa…

New York City the greatest city on earth

Go to Scotty’s diner on Lexington avenue for breakfast. I used to go there every morning without fail for breakfast the two times I was in New York. It’s run by an old Italian guy and he’ll set you up for the day with a fine breakfast and all the coffee you can drink. Every morning when I used to go in he’d see me coming in the door and spread his arms apart and tilt backwards and go “Ehhh, you’re back!” I think he really appreciated that I’d return every morning whatever the weather. He used t…

I changed everything about my preparation for the Championship this year. I bought a season ticket because it would guarantee me an All Ireland Final ticket.

I ditched this when the nephews got me a present of an Azzurri polo and top. That required mental strength but I saw it through. I had a little tradition of posting up twee photo…

King Henry of Galway (Part 1)

Wouldn’t know where to start with Tony Keady… I didn’t know the man personally myself only to greet him the odd time at the gym in Oranmore. Everyone seemed to know him, everyone loved him. A huge character in his chosen home of Oranmore. His family aside the biggest loss will be felt up in Calisancious college in Oranmore where he worked as a caretaker and hurling coach. A teacher friend of ours was at the house earlier in complete shock, he was a huge part of everyone’s daily life up there. …

Athletics Thread

Ive taught a few lads with dyspraxia down through the years. All very similar to your lad. Had a kid this year in sixth year. Very bright and hardworking. Terrible handwriting, poor coordination and would have given up rugby in TY. He was very OCD aswell. Basically ticked every box for dyspraxia. Some of the lads in his class would try and needle him. They knew what buttons to push to make him flip. He almost swung for me out of the blue early this year. He was out sick previous day an…
