Yesterday.
Outside Croke Park ahead and after the GAA football matches involving Carlow, Laois, Longford and Dublin.
All photos by Matthew Spalding and David Quinn (a different one).

We’ve started a new facebook page called The People of Croke Park and we plan to photograph the fans on their way into the stadium for every match this summer – from now until the All Ireland.
It’s a riot of colour and excitement and the good weather yesterday really added to the atmosphere.
Fans from Carlow, Laois, Longford and Dublin were all out in their full colours.

Humans of Croke Park surely? In the parlance of our times and all that.
Or has someone copyrighted that now. *rolls eyes*
It was nice of Billy Connolly and David Letterman to provide the music.
Is that the aul lads that play on O’Connell St beside the old Kylemore Cafe? Nice fellas but they make a dreadful noise.
I don’t know the answer to that Liam, I haven’t lived in Dublin in many years. Funnily enough since you say it they kind of look like they’d make a dreadful noise.
It’s not them, but some slight similarities, see and hear them here!
