Incidentally, I was reminded last night that when JP2 visited Limerick back in 1979, the pubs were allowed to stay open throughout the night, yep, no bother then serving drink around the clock and beyond dawn once we had the hierarchys top brass with sequins calling in for a prayer session.

Wonder would the Monks of Monaster-Moyross have picketed the saloons back then?

Quick. Someone run off a 100,000 'coupon' books. Pre-pay for your pints before the day itself. If there's no actual money involved it can't be a sale.

Not ideal I know but until the constitution (and a few bishops for good measure) are put to the flame it'll have to do.

I'm not 100% who was responsible for this Mark – 90% sure it was the Celtic League crowd – but Good Friday is nonsense in above regard. Everyone goes to work on that day anyway, but no one can have a drink in a bar. Madness.

Folks, it’s science, it’s fact, it’s real, as real as the truth on the net, players fumble more balls on holy days, miss more tackles and generally fuck up more things than on normal non-religious days. Case in point is that bollix Michael Jones, the cunt refused to play on his Sabbath cause he knew this too, and deprived the all blacks many more days success.

And if you needed another, well I was forced to play badly on Sundays in junior matches and what happened to me? No international honors. ( It’s all about me )

People , listen please, rugby is not meant to be played on Good Fridays, too much bad karma and wissibidoes flying around causing unforced errors and Tracy Piggott to wobble more.
Nothing should happen on Good Fridays, absolutely nothing. If you’re bored, stare at the sun and have a holy hallucination. Thirsty? Drink cold tea. Hungry? Two, only, collations (check it) and if you should be lucky and wake on a horn, well deny yourself this Christmas luxury in Easter, cause you got nothing to play with from Santa.

Mr. Out, Wayne now heads the ball like Mick Jagger used to sing Satisfaction, with elegance, purpose and much sexual desire. Wayne Rooney should never head the ball on Good Friday, we would all go to hell.

Oh, and I'm surprised the vintners haven't threatened to boycott Bulmers / Magners / whatever the fuck it's called as a result of this. That would get things changed.

BTW which Celtic league fuckwit is responsible for this crap scheduling?
