Coronation Street Script Writers Predict Antrim could win an All Ireland !

I was having a night-in with the missus the other night and was forced to watch Coronation Street. I have to say I was captivated by the episode because I couldn't help but notice how the writers of Coronation street have used their current storyline to reflect their predictions for who's going to win the Sam Maguire.

They have done this in a less than subtle way. Allow me to explain ...

There is a character in Corrie called "Tyrone" who in the current storyline symbolises County Tyrone.

Once upon a time Tyrone had everything he wanted, he had the moon and the stars, and most importantly to him he had his Molly (Molly = Sam Maguire, Moon and the Stars = Sean Cavanagh, Footballer of the year , 2008)

Tyrone thought that when he got married that Molly would be his forever (Tyrone thought they would become the Kilkenny of modern day football, winning Sam year after year)

So as a result Tyrone started taking Molly for granted, and didn't show her the TLC she truly deserved (Tyrone took Sam Maguire for granted, got complacent and it was only a matter of time before they got knocked off their perch and were dethroned as All-Ireland Champs)

As she was feeling neglected Molly started looking around the Rovers for another possible suitor, when an unlikely candidate, Kevin Webster (Antrim) catches her eye.

Traditionally Kevin wasn't regarded as a much of a ladies man around the street, his last big achievement with the ladies , Sally Webster (1951 Ulster Title) had long been forgotten about.

Kevin decided it was time for a change, spruce himself up a bit and show a more appealing side to the corrie ladies (Baker Bradley comes on board for the Saffrons, gets them out of Division 4 and gets them playing some nice ball).

So it was inevitable that Molly and Kevin were going to embark on a passionate affair (passionate affair = Ulster Championship run).

As time passed, Kevin started to take this affair a bit more serious and made plans for a weekend away with his new love (Weekend Away=Ulster Title)

That weekend away hasn't taken place yet but who knows if it goes well, one thing could lead to another and Kevin and Molly could get married (Getting Married = Antrim win All Ireland)

One thing is clear, Tyrone has lost Molly forever (Tyrone will never win the All Ireland again). The way he is going it looks like that Tyrone will end up with the big ginger mess, Fizz (Fizz = Playing Division Four Football)

I believe the above is an obvious interpretation of the above especially when you consider that despite his Manchester accent it is no secret that Kevin Webster was born and reared in Randalstown.

I for one hope Kevin and Molly find true love and wish them a happily ever after.

Aointroim Abu,

Atticus

I'd lay off the acid if I was you, Finchy

:DCan see this being moved to the General discussion board.

First I thought it would have something to do with big Jim McDonald but I suppose being ex army should have given me some idea.

Noted that you don't bring Molly's mother into this. She being a schemer and using some of Tyrone and Molly's wedding money for her own use.

Await the next installment.

way too much time on your hands Atticus

ONeill · July 09, 2009, 08:21:55 PM

Yes, all that happened in 2006.

We're 3 years ahead of the script.

Very good.

Great story. Pity it has to be fiction. Antrim to win the Ulster would do me.

Hardstation, between you and me, Rosie is too preoccupied with being involved with my dreams to be involved in the above storyline.

But i have to admit there are flaws in the above analogy. If Mollly Dobbs symbolises the all ireland then i think the GAA are going to have to add a new trophy to the cabinet.

This trophy, the "Rosie Webster", would be the holy grail of all GAA trophies.

Your county would only be awarded the "Rosie Webster" if they had won Ten Sam Maguires, back to back. If your county fell short of this decade of winning sam and won say only five, your county would then be awarded the "Maria Conor", not a bad accolade either !

HOWL ON A MINUTE THERE LADS .... what if Antrim (Kevin Webster) won ten all-irelands back to back ?? That would be a bit taboo alright.

I think i'm going to have to go back to the drawing board on this one lads,
