I just had a pint with Aston Villa

[JohnnyH]

They wandered into my local in Dublin and so I had a brief chat with Brad Friedel and Joh Carew. My mate said to Carew "So are you any good at football?" to which he replied "Good enough to get paid, what are your digits?" which was a bit pathetic. Brad was a gent though. Richard Dunne had to be carried from the pub and into a taxi at about 8pm. All the rest of them stayed on shorts for reasons of gayness or not wanting to be pictured with pints a day before a game.

[Wor Horse]

Don't think that's pathetic at all. Think the fella who asked the question sounds like a bit of a dick. But I suppose it was just banter or craic?

[WaltonRed]

No gossip?

 

You're shite!

[Faustus]

I always imagined Dunne to be a behemoth on the ale. I'm saddened at that news.

What pub mate?

[Woo]

Was this in the infamous 'Snidey Fucking Gobl Inn'?

Me too. I like to think he sups on a nice Bitter whilst pushing tobacco into his pipe sat by the fire.

 

Devastated.

[JohnnyH]

Gilbert and Wrights in Malahide. It's a bit poncy. They were saying that they were in Wrights in Swords last night and all hammered again. Dunne had been on the beer since 11 this morning!!!!

 

Yeah, me mate Paul was acting the dick a bit but he has no interest in football at all and didn't know any of them.

[WaltonRed]

I say fair play to Carew for being quick enough to come back at a nobby question in the 1st place.

I'm from tallaght but i've been to Wright Venue, it can be bit poncy alright but nice spot, fair play to ya for chatting to them anyways, i'd say the women flocking around the boys? Well maybe not Brad Friedel as he looks like Hellboy :)

Thank God- I can sleep easy tonight with my faith intact.

Pretty sharp from Carew, no problem with him saying that, I reckon it was justified. Did you speak to Luke Young by any chance :whistle:

[Anubis]

Did you get to utter the line "Hi, aren't you the Snidey Fucking Goblin?"

What does he Luke like?

 

*grabs coat*

[JohnnyH]

Ha. no Dave, he wasn't there actually. When they walked in it was the first thing I said to one of my mates that if Young was with there I was going to have a wee chat, but he wasn't there.

 

Carew was smiling when he said it to be fair. Friedel didn't have a drink as far as I could tell. I did say to him that Villa must be a pain in the arse having tasted Anfield. He smiled, and clearly thought about telling me to fuck off.

The little fucking runt wasn't there. However, he played Portmarnock golf club yesterday and the caddy said he was a fucking dick. He threw his golf club at the caddy at one point after a poor shot.

While we're on the subject of famous people not being able to take jokes, finished my run today and was sitting on my bike on West St in the theatre district checking my maps looking for a route back to start over and Roy Walker comes out of the Ivy. He looked a bit puzzled so I said to him "You lost mate?". He was looking for some building that I didn't know and asked if it was near Shaftsbury Avenue (the main road that West St is off) he looked a bit rushed so I imagine he was late for a meeting or something. He didn't appreciate me saying "You're close but that's not the right answer".

 

That's when I pointed him to the cab driver waiting behind us, to get some proper advice. Miserable twat!

O'Neill is a gobshite. Directly related to this, and unquestionably true.

Luke Young eh?

So that’s who Brownie & Walton Red have been dropping hints about.

Primarily a right back isn’t he, rather than able to play on the left? (i.e. crap hint Brownie)

[Wor Horse]

Luke Young?

 

SO many cockneys! Rattle's actually going to go into meltdown.

[Torvald Utne]

everyone must have a different definition of digits....sounds to me like Carew was chatting up your mate.

Perhaps it was a mark lawrenson themed sports bar?

[Jim MM]

In fairness to Richard Dunne, the lad's home on his summer hols with a gang of lads from work and money in his pocket. Anything less than a collapse into a cab after an all day session would have been unpatriotic from him.

Richy Dunne : Top Class Centre Half : Full blown Alco.

 

I heard he was a full blown alco earliar in his career, but i thought hed got over it. Obviously not. Sad to hear, really like him, would have a been an unreal signing for us this time last year.

[RedinSweden]

That's ace. Can't believe no one has mentioned it. Repped.

 

By the way, what was The Tott's previous incarnation, I need to keep track.
