Jeez-I poked a rotweiller with the observation about the jerseys. Sorry it offended a few people.

Well it just that this has been a trully inspiring Story ,throughout the whole thread all you can read is positive posts and stories so no need to throw a spanner in the works about questioning the Gaa Jerseys and as the tayto ad says there is allways one  ;)   

I'll wear sack cloth and ashes for a week  :-\

Forgot to mention in my last post that as a thank you from the Palestinean Government, each member of the convoy is to become an honoray citizen of Palestine, and we are to recieve Palestinean passports. That is a remarkable thank you, and i can't wait to use it next time I fly. I will even use it when I cross the border for diesel in Monaghan...................

P.S. Mr Fox, you are getting a well deserved slagging about the jerseys....... I know what you are saying and that is why I asked for rugby and soccer jerseys as well.
Dungannon Swifts came through with jerseys, and they too are in Gaza. Maybe someone can post the photo of the Derrytresk GAA Convoy select playing the Dungannon Swifts Lybian Convoy select.........
next stop, September 10, for number 4......
