Game of the Year ???
Before we get down to business
A Reminder To All My Fellow Countrymen and women (*Culchies) That "The Dubs" Are The Current

Leinster Senior Football Champions
All Ireland Senior Football Champions

In years gone by, the rivalry between Baile Átha Cliath and An Mhí (Dublin and Meath) was one of the greatest rivalries in sport . Akin to an Ireland v England game or an England v Germany game . Greater than the tit for tat that should be present for two large counties.
This coming Sunday the touchpaper will be lit once again in the Leinster Senior Final.
Will history be made ?
Will it be one of the greatest games this year ? or one of the greatest Ever ?. Possibly
,or will it be a mediocre affair ? most likely .
In their last 5 championship meetings, Dublin have come out just ahead .
On a side note , the curtain raiser for the day is the Leinster minor's Final (minor's not miners, now there's an idea.........) Also featuring Baile Átha Vs An Mhí (Dublin vs Meath) the first time the Leinster final double header has featured the same teams in minor's and senior's since 91' (i think) .

This week i will strive to get an article out everyday with a bit of history and humour featuring these two counties.
Cos lets face it , Meath havn't a hope in hell of winning on sunday 😉 and they'll need a bit of cheering up in advance .

Today we have a the following.....

This is an actual sign hanging in Ashbourne Co. Meath



Quote:This appeared on the Meath section of thehoganstand.com the other day in response to some 'young buck' who was trying to rally up support to launch a Meath invasion of Hill 16 for the game. Its since been re-posted in several other parts, but in case you missed it....

Quote:
Why would you even want to go on 'The Hill'....?

Did you ever ask yourself why Hill 16 is uncovered...? It was they dying wish of Doctor Park (the man who Croke Park is named after) that Hill 16 would remain an uncovered stand. Even back then, he knew that the only 'shower' most Dubs fans would ever see, is the shower of rain that will fall on them when they stand on The Hill watching their team. This is also one of the main reasons that the GAA play the Leinster Final in the rainy season of July rather than in the summer sunshine of April. With the weather forecast for this weekend, Hill 16 is one of the last places you'll want to be.

Secondly, there is nothing to match the 'electric atmosphere' you get on Hill 16 on match day, I don't mean excitement or energy, its more of a build up of static electricity when 13,000 people in identical Circa 1970 Arnotts Shell Suits and Lidl Runners gather in one place, with so much polyester and other man made fibres so densely packed into such a small area its a wonder the place doesn't go up like a firework. Experts have calculated that the static electricity generated by 13,000 Dub Fans celebrating a goal, is enough to power the entire Dublin suburb of Ashbourne for one week.

Lastly, you really have to sit in any other area of the stadium to fully enjoy the spectacle of Hill 16 stunned into silence when they get a hammering, it really is wonderful to see. I remember a few years back when Meath put five goals past them, we watched each goal go in from the comfort of our Hogan Stand seats as all 13,000 in total shock, standing perfectly still with only the slight movement as their jaws dropped in unison and the almost total silence, except for the sharp intake of breath and the barely audible chorus of "ah jay-ziz".....

Priceless....😉

Everyday i will have a mock battle of the counties , todays battle is for you to determine the "LOSER" in the battle of the county jokes

The Good Dublin Samaritan

This bloke is in our pub in Temple Bar, really drunk. Some lads decide to be good Samaritans and get him home. So they pick him up off the floor, and drag him out the door. On the way to the car, he falls down three times. When they get to his house, they help him out of the car and, he falls down four more times. They ring the bell, and the bloke's wife looks livid. One of them says: "Here's your husband, Missus! Safe and sound." And the wife says: "Yeah right. Now where the hell is his wheelchair?"

Subject: Breaking News

Latest news reports advise that a cell of four terrorists has been operating in the West Tallaght area of Dublin.

Gardaí advised earlier today that three of the four have already been detained. The District Garda Commissioner stated that the terrorists: Bin Sleepin, Bin Drinkin and Bin Fightin have all been arrested on immigration issues.

The police advise further that they can find no one fitting the description of the fourth cell member : Bin Workin, in the area. Gardaí are however, confident that anyone who looks like Workin will be extremely easy to spot in the community.

howaya [how-ya][how are you]
Two howaya sluts walk into Brown Thomas (Dublin), they stroll up to the perfume counter and pick up a sample bottle. Sharon sprays it on her wrist and smells it: 'Dat's quite nice innit, don't you tink Jacinta?'. 'Yeah, what's it called?'. 'Viens a moi' 'VIENS A MOI, what the f##k does that mean? At this stage the assistant offers some help. 'Viens a moi, ladies, is French for "come to me". Sharon, takes another sniff and offers her arm to Jacinta again saying, "That doesn't smell like come to me, does that smell like come to you?".

Check back tomorrow to see who wins the funny placenames battle
