Stage Dublinness -a Roy 🐐 Curtis education

I don’t think Ray is involved with KK at all, think he just spends all week drinking coffees in Apple Greens waiting for a GAA player to walk in.

I’d say he wants Roy to head over to Anfield and leave an Easter egg at the gate with a Dublin jersey on.

In the moments before battle, Anna Livia’s warrior princes will smear a coating of blue war paint on their granite jawlines, a declaration that they give themselves to the city.
A 5pm, the drums of history will thunder, and Dublin - our timeless city state - will palpitate.
Feel that river of identity course through your veins. The blood of belonging. Allow it to wash over your being, cleansing the mind of doubt.
Our supreme hurling hour is upon us. Destiny beckons. A night of valour and tumult and liberation looms.
Their cudgel hewn from ancient ash, their intent from the branches of their gladiator heritage, they will face down the Rebel army.
Like the Visigoths at the gates of Rome, our Sky Blue tribe stands fearless and poised.
Already, Limerick’s green empire has fallen, ransacked, and destroyed, rendered a wasteland, by the rampaging big city CĆŗ Chulainns.
We’ve only just begun.
Hurling’s kingdom, ceded in 1938, shall be reclaimed.
This is the hour for folk tales and family, for the making of history.
The day a city and a county rises.
A new dawn, born on the fifth of July.
So children of Anna Livia, daub the war paint about your jaw and walk to the battlefield accompanied both by your city’s thousand year backstory, and your Oath.
The one that says: Dublin, I give myself completely thee.
Forever and always Sky Blue.
Ath Cliath abu.

Surely Roy didn’t compose that overblown, hackneyed, cliched nonsense?

That wouldn’t be his form at all.

That’s his exclusive patreon content

Bandage.
A name whispered through the musty corridors of thefreekick.com.
A titan of the digital terrace.
A Wexford wanderer.
A forehead like a satellite dish — tuned to mischief, tuned to mayhem.

He ran.
He ran until the world blurred at the edges.
And sometimes, yes,
He shat himself.

No shame in it.
No hiding from it.
The body betrays the brave, not the cowards.

He had opinions.
Fierce ones.
He’d argue that water was dry,
That Dublin was a village,
That Wexford would rise again.
He was wrong. Often.
But wrong in the way only the greats are —
Loudly. Passionately. Completely.

Bandage didn’t post.
He performed.
Paragraphs like punches.
Snark like scripture.
A mind wired for chaos — and comedy.
And God, the forehead.
A solar panel for lunacy.

He loved the GAA,
Hated the Sunday Game.
Mocked the lot of us.
He was all contradiction.
All heart.

Now he’s retired.
The forum feels quieter.
Dimmer.
Like someone switched off a lightbulb in a chipper toilet.
But his legacy remains —
In threads.
