          Bettyl.......No tickets go on sale to the general public......they are all distributed to clubs only......every club in the country get issued with tickets.....My local would get about 50 tickets.......and they have 3,500 club members

          • DUBLIN BE DAMNED! Who dare say UP THE DUBS!

            A book that is popular with Tyrone fans these days is one I saw in Alan Hanna's bookshop today. According to the bookshop there is a big demand for it from over the border! It's called - DUBLIN BE DAMNED - Discovering a Heroic City, Surviving a Hidden City. and the Tyrone fans like the DUBLIN BE DAMNED title.

            It's also available in the usual outlets and also on Amazon. It's written by that local historian Maurice Curtis who wrote on the Liberties and Monto etc.

            Not only does he look at some of the great areas of Dublin including Monto, Hell, the Liberties, Temple Bar etc, but he also looks at many of the great characters of the city ranging from Zozimus, Dublin's 'Invisible Prince, the 'Monarch of the Liberties' , Bang Bang, the 'Shaking Hand of Dublin' etc.

            Moreover, the story will bring you back to our younger more mischievous days - he used to play football in Mount Jerome cemetery using skulls as football! According to the book HEFFO was once approached and offered a pig's bladder covered skull to be used as a football to toughen up the Dubs - Playing with Skulls they called it.

            Anyway the lads used the skulls as footballs and which was often followed by a flagon of cider and a game of Skulls and Roses on the coffins in the vaults.

            Read this book at your peril!
