Twitter (Part 1)

Just ā€˜Mortā€™

Surprisingly Ewan is having a barney on Twitter today. Also rugby related. He wrote a colour piece about Joey Carbery in which he didnā€™t speak about their mutual home town of Athy in glowing terms and made some comment about how shit Athy were at rugby. Heā€™s getting an awful doing from the locals, some of whom I assume know him.

Is Athy an awful dive? Donā€™t know was I ever there

Athy is a glorious shithole. Unrivaled, even by Tipp town.

It imported some amount of scum in the last 15 years . There is a thesis in whether it is a bigger dump than Tipp town .

Put it this way. Your best view of that place would be in your rear view mirror

Ewan was happy to defend Athy a few years ago from a forum favourite

:eek:

Two attention seeking jinnets .

Incidentally, Carberryā€™s father is said to be a very nice man, does a lot of coaching in schools along the Laois/Kildare border I believe.

All coaching and exercise in our schools is to be applauded mate. Even if there is a small few bob in it.

Wasnā€™t Carbery born and bred in New Zealand or Australia?

With the various roadworks on the N/M9 over the years Iā€™ve had occasion to pass through Athy many times. I came to the conclusion that it is a town without a single redeeming feature

You obviously missed JR Perry. And maybe Pettitts. But thats it.

OK, Andersons. But thats definitely it.

Moved here when he was 11 I believe

And the yokes surely?

Is the Hideout still displaying Dan Donnellyā€™s arm in a glass case ??

You get better quality yokes in Stradbally.

Jaysus Athy not getting great review here. Worse than Tipp town fucking hell. Wouldnā€™t you think Ewan be a bit chirpier living in Brazil having left it behind. Think heā€™s getting bit of a harsh time of it didnā€™t think article was that bad.
