No pain Tony none at all - the better team on the day won, fair and square...... yes im sorry Sams not in Down tonight but there ya go ..its a new day move on......
On in relation to your gourmet palate ...yep. -id say you have had a fair share of extra large double meals in macdonalds ,

Totally agree with you, i was really hacked off by the booing, and powerless to do anything about it!

From what i hear Tony, you are brave and fond of Friar tucks yourself ,maybe even a little john ln the making ...unlike Benny of course... you dont do the GIGO bit - ya know garbage in garbage out!

Whilst  i know i should ignore you, quoting trivia from a space filling folly in the the Irish news is a new low  in half assed put downs - get a life! ya sadsack

Re Banquet- 
Food and waiter service dire, more door staff on duty than waiting staff - priority obviously on income generation not service ouput- more PLC guff Paddy Kielty - unimaginative and crass, his Kelly Brooke comment totally out of place
Cringe worthy interviews from guys who would rather be anywhere rather than on that stage
Chaotic shambles of a start to the evening- some guys enjoying a free reception elsewhere whilst the masses waited... and waited...
Given that we had just lost an AI however i thought the mood amongst the majority of attendees was positive and even the rain sodden walk back to the bus, bad organisation, poor food and crap service  - didnt detract from that great feeling of being being a down man, it was brilliant to be amongst so many proud Down people, gracious in defeat  and focused on the future!
In the wee small hours i stumbled upon a tete a tete between wee James, Paddy Mo and Micky Linden- a fatherly stance from Paddy Mo and Mickeys hand resting on james shoulder reassuring and sincere- i went to bed content that the future of Down football was in good hands -a special memory from a day i didnt think i would see

Who will score the first goal in sundays big match?  My money is on Benny getting a proper one this time..PS they all count!!

He is a bit like Marty Clarke with Glasses.  Poor Chap!

All Down fans will rejoice that Conor hasnt started Nicholas Murphy and also included Graham canty (Half Fit)
