Welcome aboard thepromisedland. As I recall, Andy didn't get parole but tunneled his way out out...how far along is your digging?
As you have found out, quoting posts from a mobile is difficult...a lot easier just to post your comments and, if necessary, just name the poster you are directing your comments at. We will figure it out.

Thank you Moderator. I really do appreciate your welcome indeed. What I meant was Andy's proverbial sanctity in the knowledge that he would get parole at some stage, he just couldn't wait!!!
I had meant to join this some years back. I'm not exactly too sure in how all this works, in how you post in reply to a particular message.
I'm afraid, the mobile phone will be the only course and means of communicating through this forum, as I do not have WiFi to the place I rent above in Mayo at all, even to a Kerryman, they deny him 21st century means of communication!! Down here in the Fatherland, it's different. Thank you again Moderator. The Kerry Forum is the best of the many forums nationwide that I've spied upon!!

I'm brand new to this forum, a Kerryman exiled up in Mayo since 2003!! 19 years, I want to come home, even Andy Defrain in film Shawshank Redemption, got parole quicker!! So, like an intelligence agent in a county that are fierce rivals to us, you can ask any info, anytime on them, as far as I can ascertain. I come down home every weekend and holiday time since, This forum is great and full of great posts from the best, our own Kerry folk. No substitution for intelligence. Thank you Moderator and hello! To all the Kerry comrades on here. Happy New Year to you all in 2022. Will be interesting to see the new Kerry jersey for 2022. The current insignia is a lame design attacked by a badger with it's claw marks. A truly dreadful design, the worst jersey since the baggy stale induced coloured production of our 2006 attempt. From my own art & design / fashion design background, Galvin's simplistic and retro version of the green and gold a few seasons back, was the best since the Millfield type from the mid 1990's, still Paul cannot claim that design, Chelsea football club and Bayern Munich were using identical shoulder, three stripe types as far back as 2011, Paul was heavily influenced by designs, he did not reinvent the wheel with that lovely Kerry jersey a few season's back. Welcome aboard |

I will happily admit there's nothing like seeing a Kerry Jersey when you are away from Kerry! ah I know what you mean, when you're out foreign and you walk into a bar and see a Kerry jersey or 2 it's fair nice. It sure is nice Kingdom boy. I was in New York a few years ago and ended up watching Kerry Vs Monaghan in a bar in Queens. Next to me at the counter was an old man wearing an Kerry jersey. We got talking at half time and it turned out he was from Listowel. He hadn't been home for 30+ years at that point but he was still wearing the jersey and supporting the team. It never leaves you I guess. |

Yeah its a nice feeling to see your countymen in strange lands. I was once walking down the street in a place called Chang Mai in Northern Thailand with a group of English/Kiwi/German backpackers - next thing a taxi passes us by with a group of lads in the green and gold hollering and shouting at me. The rest of group didn't have a clue what was going on, so I told them I was a bit of a tv personality in Ireland and the lads were obviously fans

Now there's a good question Kingdomboy and I'd have a fair handle on the kind of age of man you'd be given how many years we have been chatting. And considering I'm not all that far behind age wise its a matter of extreme interest.
Look, I'd go to rugby games and I see old lads wearing Munster jersies, you watch the soccer and the stadiums are full of old fellas in Liverpool jersies etc. My Dad is in his early 70s and if its a warm enough day he'll borrow one of our old Kerry jersies to put on.
Personally I think how cares! What's wrong with showing your colours and support however old or young you are. As long as fellas that don't have the body for it resist the skin-tight players fit jersies.
I've never dared try and buy one - leave them to 20 lean year olds

Ya that’s a question I have often asked myself, at what age do we dispense with the actual jersey jersey and progress to the sweatshirt or Kerry Polo Neck.

The most memorable encounter for me with a man wearing a Kerry jersey in a pub was when the guy turned out to be an Antrim footballer and told me that they had played Dublin in a friendly and Kerry were far better. Kerry had scraped past Sligo and Antrim and the Dubs were up next. I fully expected Dublin to win but that player from Antrim steadied my nerves. I posted up this encounter up on here at the time. It was the summer of 2009 and ye know the rest.

Like if you look back to photographs of Irish soccer fans during the golden Charlton era - few enough were wearing jersies in Euro 88, but plenty more were by Italia 90 and then in USA 94 sure we all had them - I got my first green Opel Irish jersey that summer.
Got my first Kerry one in 1998. Still go for a run in the 2001 Blue one I wore in Croker that day Meath stunned us and those accursed white jerseys were consigned to the dustbin of history - though in the 20 years since I don't think I've been at one major Kerry championship match where I haven't seen some fella still spouting that White geansai!

Horse and Hermit, I'm thinking of progressing or regressing (depending on how you look at it) to waring a Kerry tee-shirt with some green and gold headbands, I think it might be a good look for a fella in his early 40s 🤔

Looking back now it was ridiculous given the players Kerry had but everyone seemed to have lost form at the same time. Galvin dragged them through v Sligo plus a great penalty save by murphy. Getting over Antrim was arm wrestle for a good bit of the game. Galvin and Mike McCarthy provided leadership. Its getting hazy now with the passage of time. |

What a game that was in 2009. Waiting to meet a friend at Gills corner before the game. A Sunday Game pundit was in the same position. He told me that Griffin was going to move in centre back to mark Declan O'Sullivan. I listened attentively. After a few minutes we parted company. I was smiling walking away in the knowledge that even tho Declan was named at 11, he was going to start at 14. One nil up before the game even started!

If only we knew what would emerge two years later. A great day indeed. I ended up in Raheny GAA club that night, a certain Ciaran Whealan was not impressed by my drunken attempts to plamas him when he came in to quietly drown his sorrows. If a fella told me that night that Cluxton and Co would win 8 All Ireland's in the next 11 years you would called the men in white coats. We really should have seen out 2011 and kept the knee of their necks. That and 2019 are bitter, bitter defeats to swallow and forget. When will this God damn tide turn  |

I can imagine, everyone I met from home before the game gave us no chance, I remember driving home from tullamore the weekend before when I got word that we drew the dubs and I said it was a fix, dublin really wanted us in that draw, they were rubbing thier hands with glee. |

The one thing about the qualifiers was meeting teams you'd never meet normally.
Sligo lads around me in Tralee couldn't believe what they were witnessing and became far more boisterous as the game progressed.
My memory of Tullamore was the sun beating down and the reaction on the pitch after as the Kerry lads warmed down.
Gooch and Tomas smiling after their indiscretion.
Dublin infairness made some daft decisions imagine playing Paddy Andrews on Gooch.
We followed that with a dour enough game against Meath on a miserable day.
We were rightly very worried about that final as Cork where flying that summer.
