I will never forget the smug look on that cunts face when they came through Limerick after winning the all ireland in 97. He lives about seven miles from Limerick City and has worked here all his life.

Complete wanker.

[PermanentMarker]

When I read 'Last Man Standing' the book about hurling goalkeepers I just felt sorry for him - he's a bit of a tragic figure and he doesn't make it easy for himself with his antics.

Hurling is everything to him and when he retires you'd worry about him - I think he trains UL now or something. GAA fans can be bigger cunts than soccer fans and the shit he had to put up with about his marriage breakdown from "fans" is disgraceful. A lot of the shit he took was at club games in Clare and he singles out Tipp fans as well. At least soccer players get paid to take abuse.

Great save yesterday - without his influence Clare would be whipped by everyone in Munster.

Agree on this, i don't mind it to an extent but it got to personal. He's still only an amateur. He actually took it quite well and was laughing about it when he drove the ball wide after winning the free off deane. There were a lot of young fellas who were paralytic coming into the ground. They're letting the great cork support down.

GAA's the one to blame for this, shouldn't be let into the ground in that state.

[MonTheHoops]

The best save has to be the Antrim keeper from years back whose name escapes me now. Big fat fella diving across the goals to catch the ball. Yesterdays was the best reactionary save I've seen. Best gutsy save has to be big Ger Cunningham's.

It was some save from Davy yesterday alright. Yes, he's a complete and utter psycho, but he's an absolute legend on the hurling pitch and has been for the last 12 years.

Shame to hear that there were people shouting abuse at him about his personal life, thought GAA fans were better than that(the dubs aside obviously). I hope it's just a once off though, it'd be a shame to see that happening on a regular basis.

The Terrace has been shouting abuse at him for years...one in particular comes to mind " Who shagged Davy Fitz's wife...."

When I was back in Cork there in February/March there was a league match on the telly between Kilkenny and Tipp, I think. Well the Tipp keeper made two or three fuckin grêat saves - and this is not for disagreement sake, I swear- better than the one yesterday. Yesterday's save was good, but did ye hear Deane saying afterwards "I struck it fairly well, like"

it was funny aswell at one stage when the crowd were going through the usual Daaaavy Daaaavy and as he took his puck out the big roar of whoaaaaaaa put him off(well maybe not) and it went out...but to put it short, he ran back laughing at the cork fans. So at least he takes the abuse with a pinch of salt.

I think you'll find the word "Ring" was part of Cork hurling folklore for years. I was too young to see him play, but I did have the honour of listening to him speak when he visited our school shortly before his death. The word "legend" is over used nowadays, but it definitely applied to him.

having stood next to Captain planet I can confirm this happened. The man in question was in no state to be attending a match. Alot of fellas had been up since early in the day and the 4pm starting time didn't help the drinking situation, there were youngfellas falling about all over the place between the square and the stadium

Great save from Davy Fitz, but I have to say the free going over the sideline,coupled with Deano getting a point from the next ball up, put a huge smile on my face

[Superdave]

Haven't been home in years so haven't experienced the lambasting that he gets since back in 97 or 98 but i remember finding it quite amusing at the time. Has it gotten worse or are people just on a holier than thou crusade?

There was a langer outside Skehans after the game, trying to talk to the intermediate team, literally falling around the place.

I wouldn't mind but it's quite clear that there is no more interest in the likes of Munster amongst the general populace than ever.

JT has always been slow but does very well with an athlete next to him and a screen in front. Carra as the anchor is just more Svennis chancery. Carrick shit in his bed with his non-performance against Belarus but he's the only one capable of doing it.

So if there's another documentary of Ring and they use Steps music we can expect to hear Tragedy on the terrace?

Are you honestly saying that people are singing the song now because it was used on a documentary in 1978? How many people on the terrace the other day would remember that?

It fused it's way in because Cash is cool at the moment. Shame so many people weren't into his music when he was alive. I hope, like "Rebel Army" and "Who Are Ya", that it was a once off.
