Nothing scientific, mind you. Just a hunch.:D
I was in Dalyer last night, though I'm not sure it will warrant a t-shirt. Quiet enough game, but with some good football played on both sides: you could see why Cobh have put together a run, and Joxer sparkled, making missing the WC worthwhile. The booing is an RTE fantasy: the team received long and loud applause at the end, which they reciprocated.
BTW, what do you mean by 'piggery'?
