Take your beating like a man
Mayo players were quoted in the book âHouse of Painâ as saying they quite enjoyed pushing the cars around.
Cork players judged OâNeillâs act to be so successful that they decided to repeat the trick in their next All-Ireland final in 1993. That wasnât so successful.
Not an All Ireland winner thankfully, but Paul Casey has 5 Leinster Football medals.

7 actually. What a servant. And he does indeed have an All-Ireland medal.
AND an All Ireland. Sidney, thank you for clearing that up and ensuring he qualifies for this thread. I doubt he dragged his hole onto the field for the final mind you, but still, 1 more All Ireland medal than Whelan.

And one more than any Laois person.
Donât bother, Iâve already anticipated your next post containing the name Denis Bastick.

Huh? Laois have a skipload of All Ireland medals mate.
Re Din, heâll be delighted with todays result from O Moore Park no doubt, the stripey men are back
And in that skip with them lies the wreckage of the inevitable golden future for Laois football.
Good times were had filling that skip mate, dreams were lived out, entire careers played out and enjoyed over many nights at the bottom of pints. As it should be. When the end comes, these were lives lived.
Great to see that the philosophy of living, not existing in Laois is not just confined to the Electric Picnic.
Thatâs poor by your standards Sidney, unlike you.
Anyway, not everyone can be a Canice mate.

Anyone can be a mate of Canice. Salt of the earth, so he is. Fucking animal on the pitch, though.
[quote=âmickee321, post: 832226, member: 367â]actually i personally attended a number of shit all ireland semi finals
1990 - cork 0-17 Roscommon 0-11 - " the shot from Tony Macmanus and the point by Tony Macmanus"
Roscommon were a joke team, Gay Shearin was in goals with Paul Earley also involved
1993- cork 5-15 Mayo 0-11 - this was the era of Jacko getting Mayo to lift cars around parking lots⌠enough said[/quote]
No offence Mickee. It wasnât Jack OâShea that had them lifting cars. It was a man by the name of Brian McDonald.
Pushing, not lifting.
It was quite an advanced training drill by the standards of the day in GAA.
