Awwwww, Poor misters T & A

Who the heck had to drive the feckin van to Cobh and back????????????

Although that doesn't beat another trip to Cobh I had !
I left college in Co.Meath lunchtime one Friday,got a bus to Dublin and then the bus home to Letterkenny.From there I hit the grill nite club and got up at 2 or 3 the next day(then I went home

).
Then I went to Ballybofey that night and finished up in Jacksons (as this was where the Harps bus was departing for Cobh at 4am)
The reason we left at 4am was to try and get there on time for the 12noon kick off.What we didn't bank on was the bus driver getting fluttered in Jacksons ! So he picked out a mad hoor of an ex gard who proceeded to have us sitting in Cork city eating breakfast at 9am!
Out we went to Cobh then at about 10am and had to hang about in the bus for 2 hours.
The less said about the match the better, a bloody 0:0. I think Roy Keane was back on a visit though as he wasn't that long gone from Cobh.
Anyway back on the bus and back home at 8 or 9. Up the next morning and back on the bus to Dublin and finally back out to the college at about 5pm on the Monday

I suppose I could have travelled to Cobh from Dublin but sure it was better craic going on the Harps bus.

There was a Cork City fan had flown back from the states for the league decider against Derry, he didn't have a ticket, I think he managed to get in.

There was also a nutter Galway United fan who flew to Prague to support CCFC this year

Personally, I can't compete with any of this I'm afraid

Babydol and the Dubai-Drog fan neck in neck IMO.

**harpskid** · 15/12/2005, 8:28 AM

Isn't that just a typical away trip for you Daniel

**Strabane_Harp** · 15/12/2005, 8:42 AM

not as extreme as most of them but i got a call on the day of the Harps v Shels cup game in tolka season before last telling me that my then girlfriend had been rushed into hospital with severe stomach pains and was gonna have an op

of course i did the honourable thing and phoned her the minute we got back from Dublin

**harpskid** · 15/12/2005, 8:45 AM

**Strabane_Harp** · 15/12/2005, 8:48 AM

I can understand the "then girlfriend" bit.

WakenUpPaddy reminds me of a very similar story about a certain Mr B.

He was living in Dublin, so got the bus home for the weekend on Friday night. On Saturdat morning he got the bus to Kilkenny to watch Harps- and all the way home again! He then got the bus back to Dublin again on the Sunday.

Never mind the fact that the Harps bus skirted around Dublin on the way to and back from Kilkenny and he could easily have intercepted it on the way down and got them to drop him into the city on the way back.

As craziness goes, it has to be up there......
