The county jersey used to be sacred. The only people who ever wore one were men picked to play for the county. It was an honour and treated with respect and even awe. Now you can buy them from hucksters and every bousy, scanger and beer-bellied bosthoon is wearing one, completely oblivious of how much of a tit it makes him look and happy to be a walking advertisement for the likes of Arnotts.
Has anyone ever seen a former county player wear the jersey as clothing? Respect, ya see.
The only jersey I ever bought was a Dublin one to stuff the doormat into.
Bring back respect for the jersey and the days when men were proud to wear the proper uniform of GAA followers - peakey cap, long black coat and boots. Brown or black nail boots or black (definitely not green) wellies, optionally with the tops turned down, were all equally acceptable. What happened to style?
