Bowl C.............Jaysus wept

[muppet]

Mayo hamster not really at the races here at all!

That looks more like the Galway midfield.

[joemamas]

I'm sick of those little fujifilm canisters.
Could they not come up with a system involving hamsters or something.
"And we're just waiting on the next hamster to see who plays Meath.........and it's Sligo. Wait, Meath has just climbed out of the bowl so Sligo will now play Offaly. Sligo and Offaly will race each other to decide home advantage."

That would be absolutely class. But the Offaly hamster would probably stop in the pub.

The Sligo Hamster would then become favourite, and would probably run the wrong way and lose.

Marty Morrisey should run the draw with Martin Carney. Marty would surley give the hamster a stupid nickname and proceed to reference the hamsters parents, uncles, and siblings, who all may have entered hamster races over the past fifty years while not necessarly winning anything. Martin Carney would not be able to definitly say whethet or not the Offaly hamster "actually" went into the pub, "Marty, while it looked close,I am not quite sure if he crossed the door line, and I would have to give the benifit of the doubt to the officials on this one"

you could nearly get a wee saddle done and get Marty Morrrisey to ride one of the hamsters

And sure you might as well get Martin Sludden a saddle and he could ride the Louth one. Again.

Not really sure if it could work, Cork hamster would go on strike and not come out of the bowl, Kerry hamster gets suspended  and decides not to speak to the press, then to top it off, the referees committee would probably appoint Marty Duffy as referee who would promptly give a Yellow or Red card to every hamster exiting bowl C, just to get himself some camera time.
Meanwhile back in the RTE studio, Tommy  and Bernard  are both foaming at the mouth, unable to come up with anything objective to say and making absolutely no sense whatsoever, until finally completely agreeing with each other comments. " Sure isint that right Bernard", to which Bernard answers "absolutely" while at the same time moving his hands all over the place.
Michael Lyster rescues them once again "right lads, that where we have to leave it until next Sunday. "

at least something good came out of the stupid draw   felt sorry for poor auld wille joe he seemed embarrased putting his time capsule in the 3rd bowl

[Jinxy]

Wexford hamster nervously awaits his turn.

[Hardy]

Something suspicious about the Kerry hamster.

[AZOffaly]

There is some concern in Offaly that Johnny Pilkington may not have been the best choice as director of underage Hamster coaching.

[Jinxy]

Having failed to replicate the success of the Tommy Lyons era, the Offaly hamsters go back on the nutron diet.

[MacCruiskeen]

Marty Morrisey is a hamster

Go ahead Lester, make my day.

[Nally Stand]

At least Brolly can watch it. The draw is just too nervewrecking for some:





Meanwhile, after the defeat to London, the Fermanagh hampster gets ready for life back in the wetlands of the Erne County...

[Jinxy]

The Cavan hamsters discuss the draw.



Hamster 1: "Looks like it's a trip to Cork again lads".
Hamster 2: "I picked a bad week to give up the fags".
Hamster 3: "I dunno lads we'd a great weekend down there last year."
Hamster 1: "We were beat out the gate!"
Hamster 3: "Were we?"
Hamster 2: "I remember being hammered alright...."
