My late uncle often sang that song. A single man in Leitrim - Gaelic football obsessed. I once got into all the All Ireland finals with him and he could go back to the 20s with it. I was following the list on my phone and he was wondering how I could tell if he was right or not. His ceann was his internet. Great memories.

I went to school with plenty of Cavan cunts.Its all they talked about.
I haven’t followed the thread or read any lists etc Could anyone say, of the 125 chosen did any of them play in a senior provincial final and all Ireland semi at the tender age of 15?
I remember talking to a Cavan man prior to the quarter final against Kerry about five years ago,
He said that he was delighted to be back against the ‘old enemy”. I pointed out that Cavan barely featured on Kerry’s radar these days. He wasn’t happy.
They still think they’re a top team for some reason.Blowing about winning a couple of All Irelands 70 years ago.

John Joe was by then playing his club football in Kildare and there had been some nefarious strokes the previous year. He was the victim of a deliberate kick which possibly became septic/infected which lead to his death within weeks.
Philly McGuinness met with an entirely innocent accident but it took his life just the same.

Philly banged his head off Fabian Mcmorrows knee iirc.Funny thing is they both toured Australia with an U17 team I think and would have been very friendly.A terrible tragedy. And the Mcmorrows have a right few tragedies themselves tbf
Flipping heck. More or less manslaughter? My missus is good friends wit John Joe’s granddaughter a total foxrock head. From well before it became a gaa stronghold
You could say he was struck with intent to injure. It’s doubtful if even a club player in Kildare would go out to inflict a lifetaking injury just the same.
The legend has it that John Joe refereed a match the previous year where he was particularly harsh on Ardclough and there was plenty of animosity toward him.
Remarkably PJ Duke who was wing-back o the AI winning teams of 47/48 died 2 years earlier at the age of 25. Tough times for Cavan Gaels in the early '50s.

Am I missing something?
Was I meant to find that funny?
You watched it? Why?
It’s a video, posted on the INTERNET.
But the still is of some of the most boring cunts ever to walk the earth?
It’s too honest for some lads. A lot of lads would have to look in the mirror after watching that and they won’t like what they see.
