Shay Connolly – The Five In A Row Is What We’re After
‘Cluxton gets the ball and taps on his toe,
Gives out to Cooper and away he’s goes,
Gives it on to Fenton right on the nose,
Fenton gets fouled but the ref doesn’t blow
He sees Johnny Small sneaking up on the right
Johnny sticks it o’er the bar to every Dubs delight’
Shay Connolly writes:
How ya doing folks, above is song I wrote (re: Dublin football team). Don’t know if you do this type of thing but just thought I’d send on for the craic in the hope that it might peak an interest among your readers for Saturday’s All Ireland Football replay…
FIGHT!

i sincerely hope this thread isn’t sullied by muckers with their ‘hon the kingdom’ nonsense.
You looking for me Scottie?

Up The Dubs
Oh now you’ve done it; you do know that these very contributors are unlikely to hould their whisht.
Love you Scottser.
+5
Brilliant song… The match nearly panned out as the song said it would. McCaffrey getting the goal and Diarmuid Connolly coming on with 5 minutes to go. Roll on Saturday evening!!!
hon da kingdom
38 – 28
I hear Joe Brolly is to be excluded from the replay commentary.
Good.
He’s a pain in the botty!
He’s the best of the lot IMO
He has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to Kerry IMhO :)
Mayo people that I know would say he has a chip on his shoulder about them too.
his problem is that he still can’t believe he has only one All Ireland Medal
And only two All Stars
versus – particularly O’Rourke two AIs and three All Stars
While he refuses to acknowledge Smigs eight & nine & O’Se’s five & five; by pretending he doesn’t understand their Irish
Why do you think he gets on so well with Ciaran Whelan (0 & 1 btw)
something about the way he says “the dubs” that makes me want to smack him in the head
Five smacks please, one after the other.
Up the Dubs
5 consecutive smacks to the skull? wouldn’t a nordie regard that as foreplay?
Tickets in hand.
Babysitter sorted.
Pre match pints arranged.
Roll on Saturday, these are the days you remember all your life.
i bless the light that shines on you mate
Nice one, enjoy Bert. Delighted it’s on a Saturday evening – more exciting.
delighted for you, B. will be a great day. bringing the missus over the young lad, though… you’ll have to explain that when the day comes.
Everyone is sorted, even the Da who is cutting it fine by flying in at 3 o’clock….
Great catchy song. Love it . Think I recognise the fella with the long hair, think he’s out of that programme the vikings??
