How any kids can you have in a week?
- The bitter, ageing Dublin soccer man.
Constantly moans about “the raw deal that football got in this country” from the GAA. Doesn’t know the Ban was abolished in 1971 and still believes there is a conspiracy against association football and aswsociation football people in this country. Constantly cites his negative experiences in a Christian Brothers school where he was regularly beaten with a hurley stick and forced to play Gaelic football. Laments the move of the Irish team and the FAI Cup final to Lansdowne Road and pines for the god old days at Dalymount. Reacts angrily any time he hears a conversation about GAA in a pub. Paddy Coad was the best player he ever saw.
This guy once said he wasn’t debating hurling with me as I was from Leitrim.
A few All Irelands for the first time in almost 100 years and suddenly they’re experts.
Fuck off.
EDIT: I don’t include @chewy louie[/USER] and @[USER=1061]twiceasnice97 in that.[/quote]
In fairness farmer you are arse ways here.
WTB is a dick and a snob, but just a snob in general, thinks he’s better than everyone and particularly more intelligent and educated than the rest of us. But he does know his hurling. The other 2 don’t. Tan could have good insight but is blinded by parochialism. Chewie only knows anything about it due to his club mates being good hurlers and passers of gossip.
The latter 2 are the exact type you are talking about.
At least a couple if you’re from a Roma family.
I can’t have any kids pal…

Yeah, but in my defence that’s only because I am.

Pot.kettle.black.
We’d need independent verification of that. And seeing as I doubt you have any friends, mutual friends are a long shot.
- The recreational marathon runner
Never participated much in team sport as a youngster and now, approaching his 30th birthday, regrets it. Works in a sedentary office job. Was a bit out of shape due to a hectic work schedule, but has a bit more time on his hands now that he has moved up the ladder a bit. His girlfriend has dropped some hints that he should get in shape, and he has decided to take up running as it’s something to focus on, and a healthy body means a healthy mind, in his opinion. Believes that he organises his time better since taking up running and that it has helped him in his preofessional life. Always has a “to do” list handy. Can regularly be seen pounding the pavement, and participates in 10k races regularly to build up towards his goal of completing the Dublin marathon. May decide to participate in other marathons abroad if it goes well, with the ultimate goal being the New York marathon - if he’s lucky enough to get a place. Likes Coldplay and is a fair weather follower of Manchester United and very occasionally goes to a Dublin GAA or Leinster rugby match. Enjoys the compliments his friends give him about looking well on his rare nights out.
We could use one of my many higher education degrees.

Good one but I would say such people go to Leinster rugby matches more than occassionally.
They are also the type who buy the ‘talked about album of the year’ for their bird or family member at Christmas - such as Fleet Foxes a few years back.

I don’t know Kev.
chewy seems to be reasoned enough in his opinions. He is also very clued in when it comes to association football which probably doesn’t mean much in this context but still shows that he knows his sport.
TAN was the only person to reply to my request for the restaurant in North Cork so I think he’s sound. You replied in fairness and did as much as you could.
Now, now, nobody likes a boaster*.
*Except those “Boasters” biscuits. They were nice. Do McVitie’s still make them?

Ah they were pure rank Sid
How many Fás courses have you racked up now WTB?
Contradictory paragraph.
The KIB Man fan- Regularly comments on games he has never seen… Underage blogger fan (Tan)- Only interested in unearthing the next big thing and talks about everything from minors to the local u10s.
the ‘this is our year fan’. despite the team having no form, nor potential, fans always think that this will be their year and you never know, they could spring a shock and win. see Liverpool and Wexford hurling fans.
I’ll rip your cunting head off
How dare you.
