There is a familiar year end feeling in
the air – The Cats reign supreme in hurling and Kerry remain the
‘Keepers of the Flame’ where football is concerned. This is as
it should be, unless others wish to step up to the plate. Time
will tell. All-Star nominations to beat the band has them in
rude health for both league and championship next year.

With the league season about to get
underway in January (more in our new year edition), we thought
we’d enter into the festive spirit with some of the best jokes
to cross our path during our recent visit to HQ. On this
occasion, we were accompanied by our nephew Joseph. One of us
was severely embarrassed as the other engaged in friendly banter
with both Cork and Kerry supporters prior to the football final.
No problems, |
sure the Gardai released me on a good
behaviour bond before we missed too much of the game!! Thank God
‘Sam’ remained in Ireland and there were no diplomatic incidents
with attempts to take the trophy to another jurisdiction! Here
goes and note the even-handed approach of the writer, even
towards the Dubs! (Editorial integrity and all that malarky).
It’s political correctness gone mad I tell you! All county names
are interchangeable to protect the innocent. This could be a
good game to get the season of goodwill underway with friends
and relations as you soak up that chilled Baileys. Here goes:
Mayo have unveiled their new line in
sports clothing. It comes apart at the seams! (You’re welcome
Des Ruane!). A Cavan supporter spots a video for sale titled
‘Cavan – The Golden Years’. He takes it to the counter. 205 Euro
please, says the assistant. 205 Euro for a video he asks
indignantly ? No, no, says the assistant. The video is only a
fiver, the betamax player costs you 200 Euro! During a recent
burglary at the Meath county board office, the entire contents
of the trophy room were stolen. Gardai are looking for someone
with a green carpet ! (Someone check Tony Bray’s parlour!)
Impossible is nothing – to a Dub |
The 1-12 to 0-10 win over Meath in
their recent replayed tie leaves the Dubs nicely placed for a
three-in-a-row Leinster title tilt. No surprises there. Their
inability to put teams away when on top is a worry to their
adoring fans on ‘Cocaine Hill’ (Hill 16). It’s all lies
Guard, we’re only getting high on the results!! Ideally,
Dublin’s success this year should be measured |
Osama Bin Laden was recently spotted
wearing a Dublin shirt congratulating them on their All-Ireland
win this year. Gardai believe it to be a fake as it could be up
to 12 years old!
Q: What’s the difference between the
Cork football team and the Ryder Cup team?
A: There’s only one LANGER on the Ryder
Cup team!
Q: What do you call a Limerickman with
an All-Ireland hurling medal?
A: An antique dealer.
Q: What’s blue and white and goes beep, beep, beep?
A: Waterford’s open-top bus reversing
back into the garage.
Q: What do Roscommon and Bernard Dunne
(the boxer) have in common?
A: They’re both out after the first
round.
Q: What do you say to a Dub in Croke
Park on All-Ireland football final day?
A: Two hot dogs please!
Overheard on the terraces ‘It wasn’t
your fault. It was the feckin’ eejits that picked ya’.
(Anonymous Cork fan, giving some faint praise to a Cork
footballer on All-Ireland day). ‘Any chance of an autograph?
It’s for the wife....she really hates you’ (Tipp fan to Ger
Loughnane). Leinster senior football final - Dublin v Laois.
Hill 16. Jason Sherlock has the ball. A slightly intoxicated
Dubs fan shouts... ‘Go on Jayo! Throw your wok at ‘em!!’ All the
best for Christmas and the New Year. Don’t forget those stocking
fillers – the DVD ‘trilogy’ - Sam 07, Liam 07 and Micheál O
Muircheartaigh’s - The Sound of Sunday.
See you on the Hill!
The Dynamic Dub
