Public information message - Time to wash the jersies.

Post by Bord na Mona man »

Just warning ye in good time folks.
On Sunday morning chances are some of ye will go rooting in the wardrobe and find a crumpled beer and curry stained Offaly jersey down the bottom of it.

On the fold of the white collar, there'll be a black line of dirt, that you wouldn't manage to get if you spent a week wrestling bears in a Pullagh bog hole.

In the underarm area, there'll also be bacterial growth that has festered over the past eleven months. The scientists of Elan or Pfizer would pay a fortune for the biological feast that has grown in such remarkable laboratory conditions as your damp musty wardrobe.

Dosing the jersey with a can of deodorant will only mask the stench for about half an hour. Once the jersey heats from being worn, it will come alive and radioactive.

So get it steeped, get it washed and get it dried in time! :idea:

What's Sean Óg O'hAilpín doing with that test-tube? I thought he worked for a Bank.

Trying on the jersey after almost a year is also a sobering reminder of just how much weight you've obviously put on in the meantime. But since the jersey still looks as good as new (having only worn it a few times in as many years), it'll have to make do for another while before the expenditure can be justified on upgrading to the latest version of the Carroll's Logo.

Pat Donegan. Signed out of respect for players and all involved with Offaly.

Just on the topic of jerseys,I was on the Leinster GAA website earlier today and on the home page there is a picture of Karol Slattery and Nigel Crawford with the Delaney Cup and Slattery is wearing a white jersey. I presume this is the jersey we will be wearing on Sunday due to the clash of colours with both counties.
I must say it is a lovely looking jersey.

That must mean Daz (the official washing powder of Clara GAA) has completely sold out!

I believe the last time Offaly wore the white jersey in championship was against Meath in 2000.
It has been a lucky omen over the years.

Does anyone remember the white Offaly jersey that O'Neills released about 10 years ago?
It had green sleeves with an enlarged crest on the sleeve also.

The county board didn't sanction it, so it was never used as official team wear.

Plan B.
Immediately after the final whistle, cover yourself in sweat and run onto the field wearing the full Meath kit.
Ask one of the Offaly lads to swap jersies and do the switch as quick as possible before he cops what has gone on!

It won't matter how quick I do it, he'll probably have been chasing after his man all day so won't know what he looks like from the front :D

Best of luck lads - I'll be watching the match in some Irish centre in London, with emigrants unlucky enough not to make it home.
