Yes, I’m thinking of bumping Fagan’s like-whore thread.
The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Twee (or help Flatty identify the celeb he just spotted) (Part 1)
Who?
I spotted Barry Murphy of Apres Match fame getting up from his Aviva Stadium premium level seat and making his way inside during the first half of Ireland-Slovakia here. He was wearing a long black jacket and his hair has become very grey at the sides. Ireland scored two penalties before he returned sheepishly to his seat some 7 minutes later.
I’ll grudgingly give it. Because you are posting it live just pushed it over the line.
Not a spot.
Who: Garry Monk
Famous For: ex player & manager of Swansea
Where: Cheltenham Racecourse entrance on the Tuesday of the festival.
Attire: A dark pants and jumper combo. Smart but fairly conservative.
Mood: Jovial. He was with a group of lads and they looked set for a good day out.
Who: Dermot Desmond
Famous For: being rich
Where: Club enclosure Cheltenham
Attire: Long jacket
Demeanour: Business like
Other info: Dermot was hurriedly rushing past the steps of tge club enclosure no doubt on his way to a corporate box.
Who: Garry “The Voice” O’Brien
Famous For: being friends with @thedancingbaby
Where: various locations around Cheltenham but primarily in the Cottage Rake Bar
Attire: long jacket and a hefty pair of binoculars.
Demeanour: pretty serious. Was not as Jovial as other members of his party.
Sorry, none of those are allowed. You should have posted them within ten days of your spot(s) and i’d have gladly rubber stamped them all. You went to a lot of effort for nothing there in writing those up, so let this be a lesson to be more prompt in future.
Use your discretion. They are 3 top quality spots. There is a dispensation for spots which occur abroad.
The first 2 are top top spots.
The third is not a spot
who is Garry Monk?
Sorry, my hands are tied. You need to be quicker in future. There would be uproar if i let these through.
Next on Christy’s hit list
After all the campaigning I did to get you this position. I feel betrayed.
There was also a near miss of Tim Sherwood.
Who?
He’s “The Hutch”.
England is not abroad.
FYI information: Barry left after 87 minutes and was in cheery mood as he departed.
I also spotted Ruairi Quinn (Ringsend Road - 6pm) and Fair City’s Deco Bishop (Aviva Stadium - 8.40pm) today but I won’t formally record them.
If any of the Muldoons on here were wondering what that was. That was the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped.
I just amended the thread title. Hope it’s not too subtle.
