Heard a bit of him earlier. He was saying a barstool was one of his favorite places in the world, but that he was also having worries about the weight he was putting on. 53, he said he was. Had him down as an aulder lad

Roy is in fantastic form after the lads did the business in Wexford Park last night

Yeah he was far more likeable than I thought he’d be actually. Definitely a middle aged peddlerscross.

No Blue Panther or stout references. It’s like when Dylan went electric.

The east coast of Ireland, particularly around Dublin, is shit by any metric with which one would measure the beauty of a coast

Arriving into Dublin by bus around 11:30am - 12pm ish on the day of a BIG championship match involving Dublin is a special thing, most especially when it’s a scorcher of a day. Everything about the city feels amplified and everything feels purposeful. The traffic feels purposeful. The noise of city life feels glorious. Even the industrial nature of the western fringe of the city feels exciting. Motorway junctions. Bigness. Like a more inviting version of Los Angeles. You can feel the tension reflected off the sweltering pavements and you can hear it in the little conversations you overhear on the bus or in shops. The sky blue at every bus stop matching the colour of the air. The madness of life in the north inner city as you walk toward Croke Park. The smell from Korean restaurants on Parnell Street. Romanians shouting out of upstairs windows on Summerhill to Nigerians on the doorstep below as a ghetto blaster blares with rap music from inside. Everything feels rushed and manic in the way you want city life to feel rushed and manic, like the video for “The Box” by Orbital. Bigness. Everything feels BIG.
Dublin v Kerry this year was a splendid renewal of this feeling.
Dublin offers every kind of feeling, as great cities do.
Dublin is one of the greatest cities in the world.

Dublin has the finest natural setting of any city in Europe, nay the world.
Embrace what it has to offer, or else spend life in perpetual misery.

Most of the quays are built on reclaimed land so hardly natural

He left out the bit about the flagon of Linden Village at his feet.
I had my first dander along that very promenade on Sunday, a generally very civilised* part of the world. Was in town as well Saturday, despite all its faults Dublin remains a fine spot. Done my socialising in the O’Connell Street area, its amazing how the street itself appears fairly lawless but once you step inside the various pubs it’s like a different world.
*The carbon footprint of the concrete poured for the new development at Dun Laoighre baths must be astronomical - be interesting to know the calculation of the amount of cows that will need to be slaughtered to offset the carbon generated to allow the residents of DLRCC get their kayaks and paddleboards from the SUV to the water a little easier.

They should have renamed it Mayobridge.
