Replying To Canuck: "You got to see these as funny and not been rude to anyone." I agree Cannuck.. I was trying to appease the mods!! As opposed to appease the Gods ;) Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 18/08/2017 17:03:33 2035180 Link
Not a flag as such but the Park/Ratheniska Club in Laois had some interesting prizes for the club raffle a few years ago. See the image link below! https://m0.sportsjoe.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/24162722/Curry-draw.jpg I believe the heifir in question was stone mad!

During the 1980's early 90's Carlow had big Tommy Dywer in the middle. At 6ft 7 he was virtually unplayable when fit. There was a banner at the Carlow Leix game in 85 in the Carlow colours placed behind the wire at the side of the pitch. It read "The men behind the wire". Younger readers probably won't get it.

There used to be a Tyrone flag, referring to Canavan, which was based on the UVF 'For God and Ulster' slogan. Not a flag, but I seem to remember, years ago, reading about Irish soccer fans chanting 'Brian Boru' at a match v Denmark. Of course, the Danish journalists wanted to know who this 'Brian Boru' lad was... essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 18/08/2017 22:58:01 2035275 Link
After Offaly beat Kerry in the 1982 All-Ireland final, Micheál O'Hehir decided to go quiet and let the viewers at home enjoy the scenes without commentary. His silence was replaced with laughter when this sign appeared: Kerry are like the new bra All support and no cup Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1189 - 19/08/2017 13:17:52 2035330 Link
UP DOWN! Always has me in stitches! sam2008 (Tyrone) - Posts: 799 - 19/08/2017 18:38:36 2035374 Link
Replying To sam2008: "UP DOWN! Always has me in stitches!" It doesn't matter what words you hear being shouted at a Down game, it's always ambiguous. Up Down...Go'wan down....F* down...Good ball Down GameOfTyrones (Tyrone)** - Posts: 469 - 19/08/2017 21:52:57 2035423 Link
Replying To sam2008: "UP DOWN! Always has me in stitches!" Another poster had this one previously, in the sixties when Down were playing in the All Ireland in Croke park, the Soviet satellite Sputnik was orbiting the Earth, the story went that as they passed over Croke park in Ireland they said they got a great welcome from the Irish who were shouting " come on Down" moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 20/08/2017 01:15:42 2035444 Link

The Tyrone fans who took that flag into Croke Park should be ashamed of themselves even if it was as a joke. WarriorHibernia (Derry) - Posts: 16 - 20/08/2017 14:05:34 2035532 Link
