A brief respite between the Showers

Posted on August 18th, 2008

Well Croke Park wasn’t the place to be last Saturday, if you were a Dublin supporter that is. What a trouncing for Dublin and what a lashing for many of the 80,000 fans present, did we ever think we’d see so much rain or worse still stand or sit in such downpours? Well done the grounds people at Croke Park, the pitch was in great condition and I was amazed just how well it looked. Anyways, the whole occasion was a spectacle of sorts, despite the result, and good luck to the Tyrone team and great fans, all in all a great performance and well deserved winners in the end. The Tyrone players appeared much fitter and sharper than their Dublin opponents many of whom appeared to be tired? Some fans wondered if the Dublin players had over trained for the match?

In between the showers, I just thought I’d share some amusing quotes which I’ve come across:

“He who throws mud, loses ground”

“Motion is two thirds of Promotion”

“It’s not the load that breaks you, but your method of carrying”

“Don’t direct the wind – adjust your sails”

“If the going is easy, are you going downhill?”

“A turtle makes progress when it sticks it’s neck out”
