I was listening to Cyril Farrell on Off The Ball a couple of weeks ago and he was describing the typical post-match/training feed the hurlers would have when he was over them.
I put on half a stone just listening to him.  ;D
A massive feed of spuds, mash, chips etc. washed down with a pint of milk and a few dairy milks in the pocket for later.

Shamrock Shore

Half time at club games half the players pulling out the Woodbines or Players No 6 and gathering in midfield for a smoke.
20 gossuns in the back of a Ford Fiesta off to a U14 match in the arsehole of nowhere
Cowshite and/or cows and/or thistles or buhalawns (aka ragworth) on the pitch.

Togging out in a cargo container.
If you were lucky!

Up the hill against the breeze for the 2nd half...

I would happily play away in a downpour, but I always hated playing into a strong wind for some reason.

Sounds like Casement. Maybe not that confined to the past!

Bad pitches. Yeah you get a few that are a bit dodgy in parts. But some of the pitches of 20 years ago were a sight to see. (Yes Castlederg I'm looking at you!!)

When men took a hit and got on with it, it's so f**king personal now, and bitching! Christ the night!
