Ciarraí - All Ireland Football Champions - 06 & 07 (+ 33 other times that won't

Quote from Kerry Mic "Ciarraí - All Ireland Football Champions - 06 & 07 (+ 33 other times that won't fecking fit in here)"

Love that catch phrase.  Would also love to know how many of the 35 were won having only 1, 2 or max 3 difficult games?  I suspect the tally would be less than 10.  Would be a different story if Ciarrí had to battle their way out of Ulster or Leinster each year .

Ps Mike: 
How much for a donkey up to the Gap these days?  Hired a donkey there in 91 (ps: that was before puke football was introduced and also the year when Kerry managed a single point in the whole 2nd half of the AIF semi  - do you remember who scored it, yes Mr Puke himself?). Sorry, I digress, anyway 1/2 way to the Gap I made the mistake of allowing the beast to turn.  Nothing I could do would prevent it from making its own way back to its master where he duly told me "well you shouldn't have allowed him to turn.  Well trained, cute hoor donkeys you have down there.

Question is how many more of them would we have won if we didnt have half the team locked up in jail and the other half fighting against them in the 1920 and 1930's !!

No I am not irritated at all just think that the big debate about provincial championships will keep raising its ugly  head . With regards the Gap Prices maybe up this year as the locals may well be using the service as they wont be going to Dublin

They were fighting there own county men .Actually it is a great story of how the team united after the civil war .
There is also the All Ireland that was given up due to a strike about train conditions for supporters .

John, methinks you're happy to talk the politics of the 'Good Old' IRA, having tried to discredit and belittle the sacrifices of the young gaels from Derry, Tyrone, Armagh and Antrim who starved to death for justice. Several of them GAA members as true as the 'United' team you talk about. I wouldn bring politics or history into the GAA side of the board, but i did in direct response as a tease to K Mike who opened the subject matter.

Your glorifiction of the kerry men twinned with the villification of the '81 martyrs suggest to me that you have some rose tinted notion of the conflict in kerry. They weren't too unified when they blew up their brothers and cousins in Ballyseedy

Alas the donkeys are gone due to their carbon footprint to be replaced by slim line fuel efficient ponies . The best way to see the gap is in the comfort of your own car .

Oh don't worry I don't take this one bit serious its only gaadiscussion.com if it was greyhoundsdiscussion.com then I might be a bit serious

Agreed. Not the time or the place. (But for nothing other than historical interest, you should check out the ballyseedy massacre........if you happen to feel so inclined.)
