That’s class
Wow, I sort of remember it well. I seem to recall what seemed like a sea of empty beer- cider cans all down the Main Street, loads of locals selling sandwiches, the guards on the roof of the hotel “spying” on the crowd, the hotel bar staff didn’t know what hit them….exceedingly Good Times…!!
It was awful, a vision of hell.
Bit like temple bar on paddies day
As we see even in those days the gardai were not doing their job
The young fellow in the bottom photo is testament
He looks twelve
Look how thin everyone used to be…
Many were fed by mammy cooking raising a family
Now its processed crap and video games
I don’t remember alcoholism being part of youth. But then I’m older.
Lemme tell tell ye now
That was all the Dubs
Coming down to our Holy Ground
And carrying on
You’d never see a Thurles / Semple regular
In that state
Not even the Mucksavages
– Clare crowd
BTW. You know who was the Tipp County Board man who stsrted the Trip to Tipp series ….
Yep.
And thus was Semple stadium paid for and Tipperary hurling given a rightful home and the bould Michaleen guaranteed a seat for life no matter what nonsense he got up to up in Dublin
well now ta’ be fair to all
It needs a bloody daycent upgrade now
Just leave the pitch alone tho’
“Some of these people are now in their 50s”.
If they managed to live that long.
White Denim jacket – the dogs B****x
Lying on the street comatose with drink was a standard response in 1991 to having spent the 80’s living in Ireland.
Ecstasy came along and ruined all of that. No more street naps.
