Just seeing this now, bunch of fookin knobjockeys, what goes around comes around so something will befall them in some form eventually.
We used to gig every Friday night out in the Mayfair Hotel in Bray, I used to head over for the 2nd half when we were set up, Tom was nearly always out in Bray when we were gigging and he'd pop in and out of the Mayfair after the match.
God love him, he's a one-off and L of I football is his life clearly. I hope those fookin bellends mothers who shat them out are proud of their offspring.

I was in the Home Farm club bar in Whitehall after a match a number of years ago and lo and behold the bould Tom comes in. He stands and stares at the TV for about a half an hour waiting for Aertel to update the LOI scores.
