Wonder will Pee do a prayer for the faithful?

He’d be willing to do the basket collection during the mass anyway.

An added bonus of that Offaly jersey being the greatest in GAA history.

There is no appropriate smiley/icon as likeing a post could be misinterpreted as likeing somebody dying - do we need an RIP button

That’s sad. He must have still have been a pretty young man. That was a great “footballing” team.

Seriously? Jaysus, that is absolutely the last thing I would have expected to hear. Was he a big man?

Kennelly, Paidi, Egan, O Connor, quite a few gone from that epic encounter already.

Yeah he was tall enough - kind of fella you meet with broad back and shoulders who never stepped inside a gym

Eugene McGee says when they won it the overwhelming feeling in the dressing room was anti-climax and is that it?

Brolly says something similar about winning his All Ireland - an anti-climax

Out of respect for those 2 lads and their families I’m not going into this at length. But at the same time there is no point in ignoring reality and the true sadness behind those 2 great footballers and men passing away. One was something we could witness happen on our way home from school every evening, or when I worked in a local pub in my teens.
