I doubt Henry gives a flying fuck whether he was “exciting” or “liked”. He’s a fucking genius, that’s what he is.

The first in a series of borderline homoerotic articles. I can’t, personally, see him having the enduring legacy of Christy Ring, but who knows. That article is bilge though.
Ill never forgive the fucker for costing us the all Ireland in 2012.
No-one did. But surely such a momentous occasion could not pass without his opinion being sought?
Canice gives his opinion in the OMG.ie! thread.
I rest my case.

Beautiful setting.
Here’s an advance shot of Evanne ni Chuilinn and Pauric Lodge consulting in advance with the Kilkenny press corps to think up some interesting questions they might ask Henry.

jesus but this is some bullshit.
would there be any hope the GOD jury will arrive in at 11.30 to say they are happy to let Dwyer go free and he goes straight out to the steps of the court to give a live statement to the press at 12 so we can get this tripe upstaged and leave this gom sitting there in front of just Barry Henriques and Marty Morrissey with the other 13 chairs left empty
Maybe he’s called this press conference to announce his candidature for the upcoming Carlow/Kilkenny by-election to fill the vacancy left by Phil Hogan’s departure to Brussels.
maybe he surprises us all and does 20 minutes of stand up?
1/10 Announces retirement
5/1 Announces he’s playing on
10/1 Announces he is to enter politics
12/1 Announces he knows what really happened with Davy Fitz and the Clare panel
16/1 Announces the launch of a new video game “Henry Shefflin Hurling” for the X Box
25/1 Announces he is separating from his wife
50/1 Announces the launch of a new band with DJ Carey - “DJ and the Dancer”
66/1 Announces he is replacing Jeremy Clarkson as Top Gear presenter
100/1 Announces he knows the reason for the German Wings plane crash
500/1 Announces he killed Elaine O’Hara
All we need now is cody follow him out the door…press conference number 2!!
“long live the king” - is that not a britishism
RTE Player’s screen has been black for the last half an hour. Shefflin will be seething.

it was on the RTE news now station online, but they just finished there now
"It is with a deep sense of gratitude and personal contentment that I am announcing today that I am bringing to an end my inter-county playing career with the Kilkenny Senior Hurling Team.
"When I reflect back over the past 16 years playing the game that I love, at the highest level with Kilkenny, it is impossible to quantify the endless hours of happiness, satisfaction and fulfilment I have enjoyed. The various challenges I experienced along the way became opportunities for me to develop as a person both on and off the field of play.
"I will always be eternally grateful to the numerous people who have encouraged and supported me in my pursuit of my sporting dreams.
"To my wife Deirdre, my parents, brothers and sisters I owe a huge debt of gratitude. Only they really know the many sacrifices they have made on my behalf.
"My club mentors in Ballyhale Shamrocks and my former teachers instilled in me not only a love of hurling but also the importance of developing the skills of the game.
"Brian Cody has been part of my senior inter-county career from the beginning and I benefitted greatly from his guidance and support. I thank him and his management teams for the huge role they have played in the success I have enjoyed.
"I am grateful to Ned Quinn and the Kilkenny County Board for their leadership and especially for all they have done for me over the years.
"I wish to thank the GPA for all they do on behalf of myself and inter-county players.
"Sincere thanks also to my employer Bank of Ireland for facilitating me in every way possible during my career.
"The support I have received from Kilkenny supporters and from the GAA family all over Ireland in good times and in challenging times has been a humbling experience and made me realise how lucky and privileged I am.
“Hurling is and always will be part of who I am. I now look forward to continue to play with my club Ballyhale Shamrocks and supporting Kilkenny Hurling teams for many years to come.”
Who paid for the room in langtons today?
