My mate couldn't attend a derby against Real one year so my footy hating wife asked him for his ticket. She didn't watch any of the game and just sat watching the ultras singing and bouncing. She loved the atmosphere.<br /><br />Marty<br />I never got into GAA for obvious Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027470398152153427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-3707115895507468002018-02-07T20:41:13.876+00:002018-02-07T20:41:13.876+00:00Ah, nostalgia for a wee quarter bottle of bucky on...Ah, nostalgia for a wee quarter bottle of bucky on the old West Stand at a dilapidated Windsor Park, freezing my gonads off with a baltic wind coming off Belfast Lough, and watching the Blues play water polo on a pitch that you could have put to sea a fleet of ships on (Still far better than the Oval Shithole)!
