Instead of going out boozing last night, we decided to head over the Northside to Parnell Park to watch Dublin v Westmeath. Brave lads we are. Heading out to the wilds north of the Liffey on a Saturday night.
We only got lost twice on the way too (and only once at the brand new Red Cow Rollercoaster after about 3 minutes in the car) so it was a pretty successful expedition. See that’s the problem with the Northside of Dublin. It all looks the same. So people tend to get lost easily. If anyone from the Northside can tell me the difference between Artane, Donneycarney and Coolock, I’ll give them a tenner.
Anyway, standing on the terrace at the match, it quickly dawned on me that I was surrounded by a mental case. The oulfella beside me was talking away from the start about Mark Vaughan, Dublin’s new golden boy forward and free taker. But after a minute or two, I realised that whoever he was talking to wasn’t talking back.
Thats because he wasn’t talking to anyone in the crowd at all. Turns out the mad cunt was actually talking to Mark Vaughan.
Even when the action was in front of the Dublin goal, and Vaughan was poncing about up the other end of the pitch, I’d hear mad George beside me going “Don’t mind them cunts Mark. Walk away. Thats it son. You’re too good to be getting into that shite. Walk away. Good lad”
When Vaughan was about to take a free, the lunatic would be giving him sound advice like “Don’t listen to that Sherlock prick Mark. Ignore the lot of them. They don’t understand.”
Fucking nutcase. I can see his gaff now. Wall to wall Mark Vaughan posters from the Evening Herald going yellow around the edges. His poor dog walking around dressed up in Dublin gear with it’s hair dyed blonde.
“You’ll gerrus to the All Ireland Mark, don’t listen to any of them cunts. Remember I got you in the team.”
Yeah, I’m sure you did you crazy, crazy bastard.

You won’t be able to give them a tenner. They’ll have robbed you long before you get to ask the question!
