Replying To PatOLogical:  "Love to know what this means?

Bhí cabhair againn gach uair," nó focail mar sin."


There was ??? within every hour, no words for that?

"We had help each time," or words to that effect.


I assume he meant that they had a bit of luck on their side. Not that the matches were fixed!!

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "My Irish wouldn't be as good as yours Barney, is Ring talking about getting help from referees here......each time? I knew it.

My favourite quote that I saw attributed to Ring was that only CIE can afford to carry passengers on allireland final day. Might be a worry for Cork carrying Hoggy these days."
Or when he visited one of the Cork players in hospital before a big game who was bemoaning the fact that he wouldn't be able to play.

"It might be worse," said Ring. "It might be me there in the bed" :-)

Replying To midlands:  "For the record, Tennyson played at centre half back in the 2010 final and, as far as I can recall, played a full game. Shefflin also lined out but lasted just 13 minutes."
It was Brian Hogan who was missing from the defence that day.
Strangely kilkenny started playing better once Henry went off.

Every winning team needs that little bit of luck. Luck with injuries, refereeing decisions as every ref makes mistakes, luck of the draw, weather could be windy for just the 1st half, etc etc.
