Meeting up with the lads for a leisurely pint on a Sunday afternoon, strolling down Jones Road listening to the buskers, soaking up the atmosphere, exchanging greetings and pre-match analysis with people from home, "Will we do it d'ya think?", "Yep. Definitely. I've a good feeling about this one", the boundless optimism as you skip up the steps, the little tingle you get as you step out of the tunnel into the stand and that beautiful expanse of vivid green unfolds below you, finding your seat and exchanging nods with the various folk you know from the club, watching your lads charge out onto the field, "They look fit anyway", trying to decipher positional switches and late omissions, borrowing a programme from the opposition supporter beside you, cheerfully enquiring as to the well-being of their injured midfielder, wondering if they've any good young lads coming through, wishing him the best of luck today anyway, a hearty bellow at the throw-in, "Hon da Roy-al!", chuckling apologetically at the first soft free you get, "Where's this ref from anyway?", rolling your eyes when one of your lads is ticked for a late challenge, politely disagreeing with the opposition supporter when he suggests that should have been a yellow, rolling your eyes when one of your lads is booked for a late challenge, loudly disagreeing with the opposition supporter when he suggests that should have been a red, making it to half-time knowing we should be further ahead, "We need a good start to the second half", not getting a good start to the 2nd half, "That was never a f*ckin penalty!", hoping the lads keep the heads as we're still in this, red card, "Where the f*ck is this ref from anyway?", angrily asking the opposition supporter if he ever played the game after he says "That man should have gone in the first half", telling him his crowd have never won anything anyway after he reveals he played senior intercounty football, glowering at the lads when they tell you to calm down, sitting there with a big thick head watching the other crowd kick points from all angles to win pulling up with every ironic cheer like a pin inserted under your finger-nail, sensing the smug satisfaction oozing from every pore of the opposition supporter beside you, storming up the steps and out of the stadium at the final whistle, cursing under your breath the whole way up Jones Road, driving home in total silence, refusing to watch The Sunday Game.Heaven.

Been there done that alright  :D

QuoteThey have just visited loads of small towns and villages and ignored the entire county of Tyrone.

They get to do what the rest of us wish we could do.  ::)

Even though we lost i was disappointed with the way some players conducted themselves in the aftermath of the defeat.. a few left of the banquet and some did not arrive back to the hotel until monday morning!!! Half of the players could hardly see the homecoming!! It was not a good example for the kids

I have it on very good authority that the Citywest staff were delighted with the way the Down camp conducted themselves . "Very mannerly young men and a  credit to their county" was the exact quote .
