Hardstation's father. A stalwart of the Rossa club and a fine man. RIP

Unfortunately, whilst Humphries is without doubt a talented and entertaining writer his stock has gone somewhat in my opinion for a couple of reasons. Firstly, his book "Laptop Dancing and the Nanny Goat Mambo" was so strewn with basic factual errors that the amount of research done must be questioned. Secondly, on the eve of the 2003 All-Ireland final he did a disgracefully sanitised full page article the history of the Ballygawley / Glencull split. The article suggesting that the disagreement was a mere misunderstanding and that resolving the split was the easiet thing ever. A good journalist would have the balls to write honestly about the story, not to appease the big names being written about.
Howeevr, he is spot on iwth Micheal Grennan.

How far outside of Belfast is St Pauls grounds? Was thinking of heading by train from Dublin to the game, but seems a bit outta the way.

Keane kicked the ball away when Durcan went to take a kickout. He did similar in Limerick, throwing the spare balls away. Disgusting acts. There has to be a sterner punishment for this sort of behaviour.
Unsurprisingly I didnt hear them mention either on Sunday game either.
