To all you Dubs out there...

Lustrum

A friend sent me this a few days before the final, he doesn't know who wrote it but it makes me proud that my blood is blue!


"It is the shirt that mirrors a flawless blue sky;
Blue and without blemish. It is the shirt that clothes
us delicately in identity and hope.
Three castles - upright and proud - stand sentinel
at the gates of our hearts. The pill of belonging medicates
our soul. It is our shirt, our uniform, our flag.
It declares our history, geography and genealogy.
It carries in its stitching a lifetime of memories, of
great days and fallen friends. For it is the shirt of our
living and our dead.
Like the sky blue of which it is a perfect facsimile it is
a gift from the heavens. Wrap yourself in its blessed
thread and swell with the pride of the chosen tribe. Wear it
and wherever you are, you are at home.
Its blueness is a badge remembering - declaring - who and
what you are. A Dubliner, a child of the city.

Friends, these are the days of our lives.

Actually in fairness to the Lillies - it's one of the less offensive GAA jerseys. Carlow, anyone? STONE DEVELOPMENTS

In fairness to the Lillies this jersey says one thing to me.....SURRENDER.:D

Cop on, you're anti Dubkin bias has become pitiful . It's sad to see someone have a pop at another county before supporting their own. I hope you it makes you happy, for me, I find it sad.
