“My neighbour lives away from the farm, so I usually check the sheep for him When I was there on Saturday, I caught the flash of an eye with my lamp and saw a fox carrying the dead lamb. I took careful aim and took the fox with a shot to the neck.

“…Some people think foxes aren’t doing any harm but this is proof

224196GAA referee Carthage Buckley

Buckley, you rotten no-good so and so. You robbed us out of the Leinster final. If you put off the three lads for using the fist, what broke Gerry Browne’s nose. You so and so. Your so and so linesmen.
Don’t forget we are watching you. It may not be now but don’t travel too far on your own from home. You are going to get what they are getting in the North, the bullet.
And we mean every bit of it. You may never get the chance of taking the whistle in your hands again….
We don’t mind what happens to us so long as we get you. Besides it will never be known who did it. It may go a while but we will get you and your car.
Laois Trio.

A letter sent to ref Carthage Buckley after he sent off three Laois players during a GAA football game against Wicklow in 1986.

FIGHT!
