Down / Re: Down Club Hurling & Football
« on: January 28, 2019, 04:44:15 PM »👍👏👏So I was chatting to Stevie this morning.
Apparently the Laois man is obsessed with attacking football, and him and Poacher have had a run-in about this before.
The Laois fella spent the whole game winding people up by shouting things like “get it into the forwards”, “take your man on” and “have a go”.
Which was okay when Down were winning, as our crowd could laugh away at him. But when Laois began to get on top, the air began to change too.
Poacher says he tried to warn him that things could get ugly: “you’re in the the wrong province for that kind of talk, son”, and “look, there’s children here, they don’t need to hear words like that”.
But on and on the Laois man went. Louder and louder, “Don’t be afraid to take a pop”, “protecting the lead is a dangerous game lads; stay on the front foot”.
Then he threw out the ultimate insult to everyone around him “for God’s sake Donie, don’t be chasing back, defending is something for the backs to do. You take a breather”.
At this point Steven was rightly worried a riot could ensue. Being a friend to any man in trouble, he went into full distraction mode, throwing water bottles around and doing that “everyone look at me” raindance thing he does.
It was this little charade that created a short window for the Laois man to run for safety.
Steven willingly showed me the thank you texts he got from across Laois this morning. The lad involved probably won’t be coming north again for a while. He forgets himself and just can’t rein it in, and puts the whole county in jeopardy. Awful shame as apparently he’s a really nice fella, apart from his mucked up desire for attacking football.
wobbler you should get a gold star for that post!
