Tony is a well known GAA personality and political raconteur....that and the Spurs double commemorative T-shirt were bound to be a give away.

What was your most distinguishing feature that made Lynchboy offer the "Tony Fearon I presume" line?

Thats something that had me wondering too..I thought to myself as I sat alone at the bar drinking pint after pint of Smithwicks feeling lonelier and lonelier how silly it was that we never actually exchanged phone numbers or said how we might identify one another

[lynchbhoy]

I'm here in the Gresham at the moment no sign of the other two gimps!

was that you carrying a gola bag ?
I was on the phone and then Tony arrived after a wee while

Nope I hadn't a Gola Bag...
I was sitting at the bar that is on your right as you walk in..I was there at 4.45pm and left at 6pm I even have the bloody receipts to prove it if ya don't believe me!
Where bouts were ye?

I did a bit of a tour around the hotel 'lounge' on the right (as you enter the main hotel entrance), then while scanning the rest of the middle rounded my way over to 'Toddy's bar' on the left as you go in through the main hotel entrance.
I was trying to picture what you may look like - electrician, brit-pop style (as is common in Laois) , round the 30 mark , scanning all the women passing by - but the only 'brit-pop-esque' dressed guy that came close was some dude with a gola bag and trendy square glasses - which didnt have me thinking that this was electrician material.
Pity we missed you. Next time eh ! - I meant to pm you before yesterday with my number.
Apologies LL.

Nordies have that instant unspoken intuitive connection.
Lynchboy you can be forgiven for forgetting that other Irishmen don´t have that knack.

well it was a lot easier and not risking as much embarrassment by shouting 'Hi Tony' than it would have been saying 'hey Laoislad' to all the seated punters

Lynchboy, I think the Board should know that we offered our seats to elderly ladies as well.

Maggie seanie was there too

McGeady does my tits in sometimes.  He does a magical bit of skill one minute and the next minute he's running straight into a player or tripping over himself.  Thought he was poor enough last night.

As for Dunphy, saying that he needed Giles to back him up because everybody else thought he was nuts was comedy gold.  I thought Giles was gonna cry at one stage when he thought Dunphy was accusing him of backing down.  Some craic!

Yeh does my tits in too!  He actually got man of the match in the Daily Mirror....Loses the ball far too easily for my liking...They went for the break at the wrong time on RTE...Dunphy and Giles were warming up nicely...You could actually hear them still going as the break was starting!

Duff was man of the match in the mirror. Agree on McGeady, him and Nani are the two most annoying players I've ever seen.

the fact they refused  them kind of embarrasses me ...how old do we look !

I was able to spot Tony at the Ulster Final last year. Didn't even have a picture to go by.
