As Martin Johnston said about his English team lately, 'Oh rugby players having a drink!!' Same goes for GAA players, big f**king deal.
A great player for our club never drank and I believe it extended his career no doubt, but plenty of examples were it's never troubled others who drank.
We won the championship tonight and I'd say there are a right few who haven't ended up in the club tonight.
Daniel or Eoin Mc Cartan dont drink

Don't really get what you're saying in that last sentence. I heard the Galls players went through a whole repertoire of soccer chants after the game on the field. Would you not think of putting a bit of culture into those lads. No reason why Mickey Marley or Belfast Child can't be guldered after a big win.
Charlie Vernon is tee-total. The McEntees used to be as well, i think.

Was saying that while we don't have don't tee total players we have a core of lads who I've never seen pissed/hammered during the season, and so was the case last night
As for the singing/chants I'm sure after winning their tenth final in 11 years they won't really give a stuff about how they sound ;)

No arguing with that . Not sure he drank during his playing days though ? I know I met him at about 4 in the morning in the Burlington in 91 and he was the most sober man there. (There was more than two of us there :P)
When I said "a pint"....that was literally it....he was no mad sow on the drink...
dj dosn,t drink as far as i heard
DJ definitely doesn't drink. Neither does Declan Browne. Jamsie O'Connor, Davy Fitz and Colin Lynch don't drink either. Brian Lohan & Seanie McMahon rarely drank during their playing days either.

Jesus I dunno about that Celt man. I don't think Dermot Sheridan drinks and Paul the Gunner very rarely but I think 8 or 9 might be an exaggeration.
In defense of the Cavan lads there are a good few who would very rarely drink such as Jelly, Mickey Lyng, Mickey Brennan, Ronan Flanagan, Dermot Sheridan.They aren't all as bad as is made out.
Nicholas Walsh never touched a drop either.
All such tee total players are to be commended for their clean living . The reality is that some of their decissions to abstain maybe as a result of alcohol abuse by close relatives .
Can safely say after the match between the 1993 derry team and our masters club team on the night before the all-ireland there aint many tee-totallers on that derry team!!

I find that people abstain from drink for one of more of these reasons:
1. Tightness
2. Control issues/seeing how drunk people behave puts them off
3. A close relative is an alcoholic
4. They're an alcoholic them self or felt that they were heading that way
5. Religious reasons
6. Because of their dedication to sport or some other craft
7. Dedication to family/never wanting their kids to see them drunk

I presume they mean that in Ireland the default status is seen to be "drinker" and if you don't drink there has to be a reason for it. A better attitude would to have no default status, some people drink, some people don't drink and there's no particular reason if they do or they don't.

All such tee total players are to be commended for their clean living . The reality is that some of their decissions to abstain maybe as a result of alcohol abuse by close relatives .
I find that people abstain from drink for one of more of these reasons:
1. Tightness
2. Control issues/seeing how drunk people behave puts them off
3. A close relative is an alcoholic
4. They're an alcoholic them self or felt that they were heading that way
5. Religious reasons
6. Because of their dedication to sport or some other craft
7. Dedication to family/never wanting their kids to see them drunk
Illustrates everything that is wrong with the attitude towards drink.
Spot on.
What do you guys mean? What is an attitude to drink?
I presume they mean that in Ireland the default status is seen to be "drinker" and if you don't drink there has to be a reason for it. A better attitude would to have no default status, some people drink, some people don't drink and there's no particular reason if they do or they don't.
That's about it. There's also the assumption that drinking means drinking until you fall down and anything else isn't drinking.
Never saw the point in that myself Hardy. Also hate the things young ones come out with these days like 'Im gonna get clean loaded tonight' or 'I am gonna get wrote off tonight'.. This should not be anyone's aim when they embark on a night out.
I agree with that. What's the point in getting blathered? You end up sick, and probably doing something stupid. People that drink shots just to get drunk puzzle me.
Now, I've been jarred loads of times, but usually as a result of a session that just took off, rather than a conscious decision going out that I was going to load up.

Have to disagree, been times when either not having had a drink in a while or been stressed you plan a night out and think to yourself - "I'm gonna blow the sides of it tonight". Normally messy and full of regrets but you feel better for having done it ;D

Have done that a few times but the only regrets I have are about swinging round a dance floor with a look alike of the mother out of Krystal Swing, thinking Joe Dolan was the best thing since well Joe Dolan :D

Exactly. Stations of the Cross followed a ramble on the ramparts and finally a visit to the granny for a cup of tea should be enough to entertain any young'un at night.
