Footix are kray kray
Go crash your bike you wanker.
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 . 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, itās the only time Iāve ever heard him say the word cunts. He was grinning walking past every Clare person on the way back to the car

āIād like to thank the referee for a great gameā
Some roaster punched a female Garda and all. Animals
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.
We were across the way in less civilised land
From my own club and a normally calm man. He got very upset that evening.
For most of your matching going life, Cork probably got the majority of decisionsā¦ Thatās just how successful counties are treated. I had my fair share of outrage over the yearsā¦ But Iād always shake hands with an opposing fan sitting next to me no matter how seething I was.
All came back to bite us in 2018 when we got the biggest fucking riding of all time in the semi final
Not to mention the changing of the rules of hurling coz we were hitting the ball too hard at fellasā¦dont get me fucking going now kid
Hitting a lady is NEVER justified
Wasnāt there a similar row at a Clare Tipp u21 game around 99?
I couldnāt give a fuck for Clare but they got a right blaguarding that night
