Well Nev and I went to the same Uni, UCC, and we also grew up (in parts in my case) hanging around the same city (Limerick) prior to going to uni in Cork. So a lot of common ground there and would have been going to the same bars, clubs etc.

BadPiggy also has spent a bit of time in Cork city and has been to a lot of the same places though I suspect I potentially have another layer of folk in common with Piggy given his stated profession and especially if he trained for that profession in Limerick city as have three of my family in that profession, all three having trained in Limerick, and also a family member who was a lecturer there in Limerick. Have two close friends who are in that profession as well and are now based in Cork city but had worked out of Dublin prior to that.


Plus Ireland is pretty small. Limerick city only has a population now of around 100k, far less 30 years ago. Cork city (second biggest city in Ireland) has about 250k to 300k if you include the outlying areas.

Other than Dublin, nowhere in Ireland has a really big population so playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon in Ireland only needs two or three moves at most



You will note however that none of us claim to know Perkins or any of his ilk.


Sorry Perks, just needed to go at someone, you know how us Irish are.

Just think of me as the Irishman you always wished you were but could never be

We are completely detouring the thread but as I created it…….

He’s still struggling tbh, can’t travel and will have a pacemaker fitted soonish. We are coming to see him as it’s the first semi reasonably priced Ryanair flight to Shannon in ages

Sorry to hear that. Do they think the pacemaker will sort some/all of the remaining physical issues? Hope all goes well for him and that he is back on his feet properly sometime in 2024.

No doubt he will be made up to see Brian Boruski (see...I remember things :P ) and the rest of the Boruski clan setting foot on Clare soil again.

You're our runt. Our manky broken runt.


An Irish runt is still worth at least a dozen of the best from anywhere else though and looking around this site you are probably worth about twenty from on here.

I used to work in Cork, down by Loughmahon then had a few stints down where all the pharmaceutical companies are in Ringaskiddy...There were a number of them such as MSD, Pfizer, GSK & Novartis & I stayed in various B&Bs around there & in Cork City, so it is likely we could have met in various bars where the Liverpool matches were on.

Also worked in Midleton with Irish Rail when they were upgrading their rail systems.

Look at this tackle on Matt O’Riley. 9 mins into his debut having signed for £25m from Celtic. Long term injury. Not even a yellow.

That is bat**** stuff...... should get a retrospective 3 game ban imo

[Doc_Piptorious]

Meh. That would be regarded as a getting to know you moment when Blarney United play Buttevant Athletic FC.



And don't get me started what would happen if Fermoy FC were in the mix.


Yes those are real footy teams.
