I was fairly outraged the night of the Henry handball. Ireland had destroyed France that night

The injustice of it all, an umpire correctly calling a technical foul.

Sounds like half of TFK was at it. I brought my kids to it, their first live hurling match :joy::joy:. The scene at the end was surreal. Some Clare roaster jumped the fence and clattered the umpire. We were in the stand near enough to the presentation, the Tipp captain mocking the Clare crowd by thanking the officials and laughing. Bottles and rocks flying, twas mighty. Still gets talked about here at family gatherings, Dad remember that time you brought us to the stick fighting in Ennis.

My father would be calm enough at matches and normally very gracious in victory and defeat. His blood was boiling inside in that shed that night, with some of the bile towards the Tipp lads (I think it was Bonner that was very lucky not to get an early red card). We were hugely Outnumbered too. As he saw the antics as we went across for the presentation, he said out very loudly that the cunts have no tradition, and he was glad we bate them that way. To this day, itā€™s the only time Iā€™ve ever heard him say the word cunts. He was grinning walking past every Clare person on the way back to the car

The smaller counties see insult in everything, very insecure.
But it was a funny line.

I was sitting beside Len Gaynor the same night. A gent, and he had no truck with the madness going on. Twas as well it passed.

Sure Hennessy was bursting his hole laughing as he said it. I had to talk about the whole thing objectively on the radio the next day, with a clamour on for a replay

The Tipp lads trying to restart the 2008 AFR war.
