the program was printed by cube printing who have a very prominent member of the garryspillane winning team on their books

TJ Ryan was working for the printing company at the time afaik, not sure if he’s still there.
Considine was a fcuking prick to do what he did imo.
Henry Martin, you took one hell of a beating…
[quote=“twiceasnice97, post: 884913, member: 1061”]i can only give you an outsiders viewpoint and i don`t know the tiny details but what happened was that when garryspillane got to the second final considine announced that only the 24 players named on the program would be allowed to tog out for the final. garryspillane only had 29 players in the senior squad so this caused a bit of a stir.
there were huge divisions immediately in the club and innstead of a small club being overjoyed to reach their second ever final the cracks began to appear between committee, supporters, players and in one case at least management being fundamentally opposed to the decision.
i think most people thought considine would relent on the day but he didn`t and only 24 were allowed tog out despite the other five having done all the training and so on all year.
anyway the team ran out on to the field before the final. they lined up for the photo before the match and next minute henry martin ran out and stood into the photo making 25 players. (figures may not be right but you get the picture)
anyway they win the final and so on but among the celebrations the rows were starting in all directions.
for eg
[LIST=1]
[]considine had ruined what should have been the clubs greatest day
[]considine was entitled to do whatever he liked and the rewards were there for eveyone to see
[]henry martin was right to do what he did.
[]henry martin had no right to do what he did as it could have cost the match
[*]henry martin was right but wrong not to tell the other players and all of them do it or none
[/LIST]
and so on.
anyway the following week garryspillane were out in the munster club at home so limerick were responsible for the program. this duly appeared with a nice big photo of the county championship winning team and subs
but no henry martin in the photo. he was airbrushed out
the program was printed by cube printing who have a very prominent member of the garryspillane winning team on their books
i am not certain about this part but i think henry martin was kicked out of the club after it by an inquisition, whether that was or is the case now i couldn`t tell you.
as a footnote no explanation whatsoever was given for the logic behind the decision.[/quote]
None of this happened

you clearly have not read a single interview given by tj since he was appointed limerick manager
We are all Henry Martin.
Is this like that twist at the end of Fight Club?

Ah thanks for that. 
It’s one of those story’s that seem too good to be true. I don’t suppose a before and after picture is available anywhere on the web.
No, more like V for Vendetta.
who the fuck is Henry Martin?
