Replying To Killarney.87:  "Anyone remember Terence from Cork in the late 80s?

He had a slogan before Cork vs Mayo in 1989 'Mayo we're all God's children, but Cork are the chosen ones'.

He was some character, he used to be on the Gerry Ryan radio show too and then just vansished from the public eye."
Do indeed Killarney and the bould Cha and Miah when Cork were playing..

Replying To Jack_Sparrow:  "Luke Dempsey was managing Westmeath versus Meath under Sean Boylan in those epic matches back in 2001. The Meath Banner read; Luke is warm but Sean is Boylan."
Love it.

That's brilliant. Bizarre coincidence, I think Miah died yesterday.

Replying To janesboro:  "am i correct in saying that flag got confiscated and returned post match"
I think you are janesboro. There was a degree of ambiguity as to what the phrase actually meant.

I know it's quite dark humour but when I was at 2008 All Ireland Final there was some Tyrone lads with a flag referencing men in beards and the twin towers - clever but defo dark humour!!!

Back in 1997 at the ulster final with Cavan and Derry some cavan supporters had a banner saying
'Joe Brolly had a donkey'
''a romantic little ass'
''when cavan beat derry,
Joe can kiss our ass'
Joe was well known at the time for blowing kisses, as a 7 year old at the time you can imagine how i thought this was the funniest thing in the world ever.

Was there one before like this 'Dublin for Sam, Kerry for holidays'?

Kilkenny fans had lots of 'drive for 5' paraphernalia in 2010 but I haven't seen it since September 5th 2010.

Not a flag one but a funny one. During one of the old epic Leinster final matches between Kilk and Wex the first day was a draw. The second day they were level again coming near the end. The banter was over and back between the supporters when a Wexford lad jumped up and shouted "Ye pissed on yere ammunition in 98 rather than fight. " Could not make any sense of it.
On returning home I told the story to my wife's uncle. Hr laughed and explained. In the 98 rising the Kilkenny forces were stationed in Rosbergon on the Kilkenny side of the bridge waiting. A messenger was sent to get them and went on the piss and they never got the word. Of course the uncle R.I.P.was a good KiIkenny man.
It shows how passionate we are about our hurling when a lad reaches back 200 years.

Class, that story has been deposited in the memory bank for future use.

The origin of that story is actually on the Laois/Kilkenny border at Doonane.

After Vinegar Hill 21st June 1798 a band of United Irishmen under Fr. Murphy of Boolavogue fame went north hoping to seek support from the miners of the Castlecomer plateau region as they had the name of being militant.

Some of the Doonane miners fought in the battle of Castlecomer and went south towards Baunreagh in Carlow. However the Doonane Laois men finding themselves moving away from their homes and strongholds stole away with guns and gunpowder during the night in central Carlow. Drink was taken and some of the gunpowder 'allegedly' peeded on and destroyed.

It didn't matter that Doonane was in Laois on the KK border Wexford people shouted 'ye pissed in the powder' at KK matches up to the 1990s. Heard it myself.

My source for this being Laois is Doonane is 5 miles from home and i'll also quote Wexford historian Nicky Furlong on it.
