Trying to put together , peoples memories of Dublin city, the little stories,the funny times the sad times, the stupid things. We started talking in the bar the other night & said we need to write them down. Heres some of mine.
1.I’d just watch a game against Finn Harps in Whitehall, we were beaten, but worst of, I felt demoralised as the Finn harps fans belted out song after song and banged their drums.They'd also taken our section over:mad: . The next morning I rang the rep from Walton’s & ordered a big bass drum. The following match I arrived & started banging it. Some hated it, some loved it. But I felt I was helping the team. :)
2. Gilller getting 3 month ban after The Sligo Rovers game. Don O'Riordan getting sent to the stand, trying to stand behind the dugout & give instructons , with us Shouting in his ear & banging the drum loudly. Philip with a "get off the wall, get off the wall, get off the wall " mantra that was like a chinese torture.
3. Dublin City V Bray. Robbie Farrell going down ("stay down Robbie") , like he'd been shot. That fcuking Seagull. I took up my usual position with my Drum & was asked to move by an Eircom league Stewart. I refused to move, after the year we’d had, I stood in the same spot banging that drum, I’d never seen half of these guys before & now they wanted me to move. After a torturous 90 minutes +, a one all draw was enough to give us the first division title. It was hard to scramble over the wall with the drum, but it felt great, running onto the pitch. You don't get nights like that too often.
4. The old lad, can't remember his name, smoked some mad cigs that smelled like turf , he passed away R.I.P.. But was always at every game.
5. Playing against Kilkenny, danny lost his phone , behind the goal. we started looking for it , in the long grass. Theres about ten of us walking back & forward trying to find it. My phone rings & Rocky says "what the fcuk are you lot doing down there ":D
