Unfortunately, the crashing reality is often what Sunday evenings are made of.
At least the Monday is a bank holiday, worst case scenario we bate a few Tipp inbred’s, get the train home and avoid the hangover until Tuesday morning
Presume we’ll all be celebrating in the Orchard after we walk all over the tipp cunts now that Clems is closed?
I dislike it too glas, but it is what it is.
Orchard my hole. Plenty great post mortem pubs across our fair county to be visited on Sunday night and Bank Holiday Monday.
The itinerary should include Dwyer’s of Cappamore, Hanley’s of Boher, Ahern’s of Kilteely, Patsy Nicholas’s, The Cu Chulainn in The Well, Denny A’s in Ballingarry followed by a spin to Rasher’s in Ballyagran and finishing up toasting the saviour in Davey Clarke’s by the Morning Star!
The Haven on Davis St is highly recommended

[QUOTE=“Julio Geordio, post: 944674, member: 332”]You seem to think hurling was invented in 1884 in Hayes Hotel.
Allegedly the reason hurling is prominent in those counties is that they have the best land in the country. In the 18th century Hurling was a game played between the workers of large estates as a hobby for the gentry. It also required large spaces to be played initially as it was a game played over many miles. Not so easy in uphill areas or through forests etc. It hasn’t managed to spread much beyond that.
So the reason Tipperary is surrounded by hurling counties is that its in the middle of the best of the farmland rather than your twisted logic.
The below map is a bit simplistic but it holds true largely. Beyond Newcastle in Limerick for example there is fuck all good land and fuck all hurling.
The glaring omission is Dublin, but it is largely due to the migration of culchies that the game has risen to its prominent position there.

My father says the same thing as you, that’s it’s down to the good flat dairy farming land - land in Westmeath, Kildare, Meath, etc is more suitable for sheep farming. It’s more clay like in structure.
Come to think of it, his & your theory probably makes more sense than mine

@Elvis Brandenberg Kremmen
Abbeyleix, 7PM tonight *
- This could be utter bullshit, but its what I heard. I dont recall Abbeyleix having lights, but a 7PM throw in probably negates that.

The other theory I read was that it was the natural habitat of the ash tree, but that doesn’t make much sense to me really.
FAO Limerick hurling panel 2014.
We don’t want to hear any of this ‘I’m holding my position.’ We’re not holding a goddamned thing. We’re advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding anything except the enemy’s balls. We’re going to hold him by his balls and we’re going to kick him in the arse; twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all the time. Our plan of operation is to advance and keep on advancing. We’re going to go through the enemy like shit through a tinhorn.
There will be some complaints that we’re pushing our hurlers too hard. We don’t give a damn about such complaints. We believe that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Tipp men we kill. The more Tipp men we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing harder means fewer casualties. We want you all to remember that. Limerick men don’t surrender. We don’t want to hear of any hurler on our watch being beaten unless he is injured. Even if you are injured, you can still fight. That’s not just bullshit either. I want men like Joe Quaid who, after losing a bollock, jumped to his feet, gathered the ball and cleared it and busted the hell out of the enemy with his hurl. Then he picked up his own ball and threw it at an opponent. That’s a man for you!
Then there’s one thing you hurlers will be able to say when this is over and you get back home. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting by your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks, ‘What did you do in the great Tipperary wars?’ You won’t have to cough and say, ‘Well, your granddaddy almost did it but took a bad belt.’ No sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say 'Son, your granddaddy rode with the great Green Army and a son-of-a-goddamned-bitch named T. J. Ryan!
All right, you sons of bitches. You know how we feel. That’s all!
Easy Renton, no more red bull for you today.
I’m fucking pumped, pal. And I’ll tell you this, I am going to Thurles and I expect a win. No excuses, no sob stories, but full steam ahead…- We are fucking Limerick and we will tear right into these bastards.
