Go.

Have a nice lay -in.

Hardly a lay -in if you didn't get to bed at four.

What did you have?

I had for... Did you not hear me calling you?

No, I didn't hear a thing.

I'll just go to Sullivan's Bullock over in Banalee later.

You up for the spin?

Fun as I found.

I'm training.

Well, go and spend the day.

Warm yourself.

Come on, lads. Let's lift it. I said that good stuff.

Clinger, come on. Pick it up.

That's not good enough. Get down on it. Come on.

That's it, Cain. Good stuff.

Come on, lads. Work harder.

Five minutes. Come on. You've got more in you.

Come on lads! Tighten up your back!

Tighten up! That's it lads! Put tight!

Well done!

That's it lads! Good stuff!

Lovely stuff! Well done lads! Brilliant!

Well done!

You're busy on Tinder on that phone, hey. I call your ass.

Organising a date. You couldn't be arse -trailing.

I've seen your cycle on a long time now.

I'm talking about an outfit.

Yeah.

Might do some damage if more of them actually get us tonight.

Sure is, isn't it, man? The king can never work.

Yeah. Yeah, see you Sunday. Catch you Sunday, man.

A bit off the pace there tonight.

Yeah, well, I'm still a bit tight, you know.

Twisted falling out of the pub.

I can't have passengers this year. I need you leading by example.

Don't worry about me.

Don't give me reason to then.

See you Sunday.

Bright and early.

See you in a while, man.

What?

Plan.

Plan for what?

Plan for what? For tonight.

Did you not hear Bernie's big speech in there?

Yes, I one or two wondered.

When is it ever, one or two? Come on, man.

Sure, we'll be tired of it soon enough.

Go on. Yeah, go on, man.

I'll see you in the boomerang.

We'll see.

We will.

Looks like you're

enjoying that.

More than I'm going on. Oh, yeah.

Let's see how you feel.

Five, two, seven.

Watch your pocket. My learn is on the brown.

Okay.

Who are they?

Not too bad. Not too bad?

Not in with the county this year, Cian.

Ah, sure. You know, all the politics in there, Jerry.

Why, they'll be able to buy a few tickets for the club.

Go on.

How are you shaping up this year?

A few of us coming through now.

It's only the older fellas we have to look out for, so... That's the truth.

Thank you.

Take your handy on the pints tonight.

Very well.

Thank you.

God bless, Jerry.

Fuck, I'll be reporting back to Bernie now.

Are you coming,

lads? Buss is leaving in five. Come on.

What, Buss?

Did you not tell him? I said I better get him here first.

I paid, you said.

Come on, bring it on the way.

All right, here, I'm not getting stranded down in Galway. You won't, man.

on, you're hardly going to stay here with her and a lady, eh?

You have the hard part done.

Come on!

You owe me one. Right.

We're back.

We're back!

Come on, then.

Come on, we're... Go, Matt.

It's fucking freezing tonight, Matt. I thought you could have pulled a few

strings, no? Oh, it's your track record.

Sorry, that pays down tonight. Not too bad, Mick. Not too bad.

It's just gonna be easy.

How are you, Mick?

Go on, then.

Appreciate it.

That's the advice of the guru.

At least throw out my fucking jacket!

Oh, man, what's the crack?

Yeah, they threw me out.

All right, bring them out to the court, will ya?

I'll meet you around the front.

Three on one, boys.

You sure this ain't fair, ain't you?

You think you're fucking funny, do ya?

Get off your foot!

Not so low now are you big man?

Yeah. Yeah.

There's some dinner there.

Get some rest.

Dirty fucking pricks.

I'm telling you, lads, if I'd been there, it would have went down very

different.

I'm sure you were there.

Huh?

You were asleep under a pile of coats.

Fuck off with yourself, you know what I mean.

You dropped shit in the end?

Guards dropped me into the hospital.

Look at it and check your pockets.

Yep.

Hey man, I swear to God, the next night we're down there, you point them out to

me. Fucking giving it to them.

Yeah? Yeah, we'll be sure to wake you up next time.

Fuck off.

Give me that.

Where have you been?

Out for a drive with the lads?

Oh, have you now?

Well, McGovern's been looking for you.

He wants you to go down to the station.

For what?

He wants you to make a statement.

I sure told him I was at the hospital.

You know what McGovern's like.

He thinks he's a magnum P .I. Just give him a statement and shut him up.

Talking me through the night?

Pretty normal night.

Went for a few points after training.

Went into town and felt like dirt that I'm my friend in the club.

I got put out and a couple of guys jumped me outside.

What time, roughly, did you say this occurred at? Must have been around two.

Do you remember anything about the attackers? Any distinguishing features?

Around the same age as me, but could be anyone.

Do you remember anything after that?

I just remember my head hitting the ground and... ..trying to stop them from

kicking me.

Then everything went black.

Thanks for coming in today.

I know that can't be easy on you.

No, not at all.

If anything more comes back to you, you have our number.

That's right.

Cheers.

Cian, if you see those lads about the place,

give us a call.

Some young fellas, they think they can handle these things themselves.

never ends well.

Well, if it isn't Lazarus.

Just to look at you.

It looks worse than it is.

I'm going to give you a fair down.

How long are you out for?

Doctor said leave in two weeks.

She'll be back before then.

Any word from the cops?

I was in with my girlfriend there, so... Sure I thought I wouldn't catch a cold.

I'll be seeing them again anyway.

Yeah, we have a challenge on the 15th.

Keep your nose clean till then.

Come on, boys, it's not good enough!

Should you not be taking it easy with the league, sir?

I'm drinking in protest.

Protest of what?

Of being dropped for a minor.

It was one challenge game.

It doesn't matter, does it?

After all the years I've given this play, the disgrace is what it is.

Should you be mixing that with your painkillers?

I'm sure it'll save me a couple of euros anyway.

Since when is Gray's home?

A couple of weeks.

Awful that I could turn him.

Is he all right?

He's a bit shook, but when is he not?

Back in a minute.

Going to be a show with Lennon.

Go away from around me.

Oh, we lost you to the English.

Cian Reilly, still an armchair Republican, I see.

When did you get back? Last week.

You back for long?

A couple of weeks, anyway.

How's all with you?

Grand, holding down the forechair.

What are you drinking?

Gin and tonic, if you can get through the mosh pit.

Sean, pint and a G &T when you're ready.

Well, you have to be in the football team to get a drink around here. Is that

it? Nothing hurt anyway.

Jesus, you were in the wars again.

Oh, yeah.

Couple of lads jumping Friday night.

Really? Just to hear that.

Oh, yeah?

Not a scratch on.

Thank you.

I got this. I changed my pants at the airport. You're grand.

A few lads are in. Fancy joining?

I can't.

It's Ron's birthday.

Haven't seen him in about five years, so it might be a bad form to bail.

Well, you know where we are.

You haven't changed a bit.

The weekend's not over, lad.

What is wrong with you, lad?

You are stopping us from buying. You know that.

Shut up and drink to you, lad. Come on.

Go on.

You all right, lad?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm tired.

I'm getting tired.

Where are you going, lad?

I'll be back in a minute, all right?

Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?

All right.

Making ships already?

Just getting there.

Hmm, I wouldn't blame you.

Think they were playing Cotton Eye Joe in there earlier?

Yeah.

You all right?

I'll be up there for the last five years.

Well, I went to college in Birmingham for a few years.

Then I did a gap year in Vietnam.

And now I'm a nurse in a hospital in Stratford.

Midlands weren't on the list, no?

Well, if I knew I was missing all this.

What about yourself?

Same old.

Tipping away on the farm with the old fella.

How's that?

Yeah, grand.

He's not roaring the head off you?

Stop.

I'm only home and my head is melted listening to Dad.

The lads were saying he wasn't well.

Is that what you expect when you live the way he has all these years?

So, what has he had?

Sitting on your own outside a chipper at midnight?

Felt a bit dizzy.

Wasn't feeling it.

Yeah, you want to be careful.

It can take a while to come right again after you get a knock.

He'll have a lot coming back in after a head injury like that.

I'm grand.

That's what he keeps saying.

I take it.

Are you going to head back in?

No, I think I'll call it a night.

I think they're too fucking old.

If you're not at it, fancy coming back for a drink?

I didn't mean like a...

I'm going to see him for my back in London, so... No, I didn't mean that.

Yeah.

Good seeing you.

Good seeing you.

Here, you take this one.

Jen?

Um, Ian?

I think we need to talk.

Let's give it a shot.

Cheers.

Only interested in the food, is it?

Well, I won't be bringing you anything again if that's your attitude.

All right.

Yeah, I'll leave you off this time.

You ought to go slow today.

What are you on about?

I've been down the backfield half the morning.

Looking after that lame cow?

You're meant to be looking after that heifer that's about to cap.

This one's on your watch.

Got it?

Yeah.

Where did you get off to on Sunday?

I heard you bailed early.

I just hit my tired man so I didn't get an early night.

Where did that Biden cabin boys, are you?

Come out.

Doc was talking a big game about spinning down that direction.

That couldn't be it, eggs, man.

No, I left.

I'll take care of that myself.

Don't be listening to this shy talk around town, man.

They're only rising you.

Easy for you to say.

Hey, Grace.

Yeah.

It's Cian.

Hey. How did you get this number?

Um,

it's an old phone book.

I think she has every number in Longford near.

Yeah, I think we've one of those as well.

What's up?

Nothing. I was just wondering if you were around this evening.

Um... Not like that.

Just wanted to ask you something.

Great. I'll call you then.

Grant. See you then.

Bye.

This place is really hopping during the week. Wait till the Bengal crow gets in.

Blanche.

My waddy.

Football.

Didn't stop you last weekend.

Look how that played out.

Fair.

How's all at home?

Not much different to being at work, to be honest.

Who's your dad, is he?

As good as can be.

Might as well.

I don't know if there's anything I can do to... He could donate a liver.

How have you been getting on?

Good, tipping away back in the yard.

Getting lots of rest then.

I can't leave the old fella unsupervised, you know. Is that so?

What was it you wanted to ask me about?

Just about, you know, you were saying the other week about people coming back

after head injuries.

I've been feeling kind of weird the last few days.

How do you mean, weird?

Headaches.

A bit dizzy.

Feeling a bit all over the place, to be honest.

Yeah, that's why I left the pub the other night.

Oh.

Have you ever had a concussion before?

Not that I know of.

No, a couple of knocks during games.

You should go in for a check -up.

Donata told me that in the hospital.

Yeah, it can be hard to tell.

You might need to see a specialist about it.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure. See how I'm going, you know? Yeah, I'll be all right.

Would you have called me if you thought you were all right?

Go on.

This is Keane.

Are you ever on time?

Some of us have to work for 11.

The only thing you're milking is that headache of yours.

One minute, fellas. You're all doing shuttle runs. Half means fucking half.

Not tugging out, Keane?

No, I said I'd better leave it another week.

Grand holiday for you.

Well, your young McConaughey's doing well at six, so you should have no

Yeah, he is, yeah.

You may have a job getting your jersey back.

How long have you been feeling like this?

Since I got out of the hospital, really.

And have you been resting?

Yeah, but trying to get on with it as well, you know.

Well, from the symptoms you've described, it sounds like you might be

from concussion.

OK.

Is that serious?

It depends.

There's some tests we can do now, see what they tell us.

And if it is a concussion, then how long would it be till I'm back to normal

again? Different for everyone.

But I'd say lay off any strenuous activity and stay away from the football

you're back to yourself.

Ah, Jesus, lads. The old lass is calling me.

Good luck with that.

Back in a minute.

All right.

That should be an interesting call.

Honor him than me.

How are you holding up, man?

Went in to have the last weekend.

Feel a bit shite.

But, uh,

getting helped out by Lord Ladd will do that to you.

Are you resting up?

I'm in the air for the night, though.

We'll just be taking it easy, man.

Seriously.

This is a fucking disaster, lads. Fuck me. The cousins are over. My old lass

wants me back for dinner.

What? What? Am I bad?

Lad, seriously, what are my eyes like?

Yeah, you may go straight to bed, lad.

Ah, fuck off, lads. I'm paranoid enough as it is. I'll take you home. I'll take

you home.

Never made it up to the bed anyway No, I

fell asleep watching something Nothing to do with coming in half bollocked What

does the specialist say?

Should be fine if you do I'm heading into the Mart.

There's no loss on you Those heifers are gone

Thank you.

Good old life.

I'm late.

He was, uh, actually not for this.

Grand, just grand.

We hit into phase for one or?

I don't think I could face another drink.

Fair. Is there anywhere else we could go?

I think I might know a place.

Where did you find this spot?

My mam used to bring me here when I was younger.

Told me to keep it a secret or else everyone would be down here.

Well, I won't tell anyone, Phil.

Did you take my advice?

Which advice?

Did you get checked up?

Right, yeah. Went in there yesterday.

And what did they say? They said it was fine.

Normal to feel that way after something like that.

I'd say that's a weight off.

Yeah.

I'm forward to getting back training now.

Take your time.

They'll be fine without you.

You haven't seen them play lately.

No, but to argue without about you enough.

Does he? Oh, yeah.

It's just the two of you in the house.

Yeah.

Yeah, Mum and Oliver lost patience with them years ago.

They don't speak.

What about your boyfriend?

He's flat out in the hospital at the moment.

Hospital? Where's the doctor?

Sounds like you're a good fit, Zoe.

Yeah, well, if we can manage to see each other between the shifts.

What about yourself?

Any young ones on the go?

Play in the field.

Right, so no, is it?

Just, you know.

Looking for something different.

Keaton Riley looking to settle down?

We could go that far, but... I don't know.

Get tired of doing the same things.

Kian.

Kian. What?

Did you get the calf nuts that time?

No, I never thought of that. I'll do it when I'm finished.

You won't, because it'll be closed.

Forget it. I'll do it myself.

Would you relax?

I'm going.

everything scoop okay it's just how how are you not too bad not too bad i hear

dealing with it flat out this weather yeah busy time of year that's it will

be back for kilo hopefully i have to see who i am after number

one anyway do you want to handle that or will you manage

Oh, look who it is!

Solid effort there tonight, lad.

Good to see the intensity levels rising.

Now, I don't need to tell any of you how important this first game is.

But I will tell you one thing.

The last time you played these, you were bullied on this pitch here in front of

half of the town.

Remember how it felt walking off the field that day? Remember that?

Now ask yourselves, are you going to let it happen again?

For the lads who think they're pulling the wool over my eyes, following around

the town on the weekends, been there, done that, have the fucking t -shirts,

yeah? You're fooling no one but yourselves.

The fucking bullshit!

Stop here, lads, yeah?

It stops here right fucking now, yeah?

Right, that's it. Come on.

Hello, lad.

Why was you so dressed up?

It's only a shirt.

Well, come here. There's a bit of a secret session going on down in the

Right. If you're tempted.

I think I'm heading over to Gray's and stuff.

Gray's working.

Nice work there, lad.

Not like that.

Not like that, me old.

It's not.

Don't be lying to yourself. Right, be good.

All right? Yeah.

He's gone to sleep now, I think, so we just have to be quiet.

Oh, yeah. No matter, no matter.

Do you like red?

Whatever's going.

I have to hide them around the place.

He's got a serious nose for finding them.

Haven't been here in years.

Probably the Debs, was it?

Yeah.

Feels like a lifetime ago.

Eight years now.

That was a good night.

I'm surprised you can remember much of it.

What?

Wasn't that bad, was it?

Said the fellow who drank a bottle of Bucky before he landed over.

It's easier to give me eight years delayed fear here.

Can I ask you something?

What?

Why didn't you call me after that night?

I don't know.

You were going to college.

I was staying here, so... I didn't think you'd be arsed hanging around with me.

You think I'm that cold?

No, I don't think you're cold.

It's just the way it is, isn't it? People go away and then they think

different to the people who stayed.

You've got such a chip on your shoulder against anyone that ever left.

I'm just happy where I am.

And you never thought of losing?

Even for a bit? No.

No.

I like it here. Like, people... People know me. I'm playing good ball.

It might not make sense to you, but it's... It doesn't make sense?

Something you don't get moving around so much?

Do you not like it in London?

London's great.

It's not the same.

It's hard to feel like you belong when you're one in nine million.

And you never think of coming home?

I think I've been gone too long.

Even the other night with the girls and Siobhan, it just didn't feel like we

knew each other anymore.

I'll always meet you for a pint.

Gran.

What's wrong with you now?

It's the fucking post driver.

Fucking post driver me arse!

Take the rest of the day off. No, I'll be grand in a minute. I fucking managed.

Take the rest of the day off. Go on.

Okay, so just keep looking at the light and follow it with your eyes. Alright,

ready?

I know this isn't the news you wanted to hear, but it looks like it's a bit more

serious than we expected.

So I wouldn't recommend any physical activity for at least three months.

What about football?

You shouldn't be thinking about playing football for a long time.

Oh, what's a long time?

I don't think you understand the seriousness of the situation. Are you

isn't a fix?

I mean, I was feeling fine like a couple of days ago. If you hurt yourself

again, it could result in permanent damage.

That can't be right.

Consider yourself lucky. Key and some lads don't get the chance to come back

from an injury like this.

You've been giving me digs all day. You think that's a dig? I'll show you a real

one.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You were fairly heated out there this evening, Cain. You're supposed to be a

leader of this team. You can't be giving a young lad a belt every time they get

a bit melty. You asked me to set the tone. I said set the tone, not bat their

young fellas.

There's something more going on here.

What does that mean?

You're not fucking focused, Cain. You're all over the fucking shop.

Huh?

The league starts in two weeks.

Get your head right for it.

I'll be home full of coming down tomorrow.

Hmm?

For what?

I was thinking you could do with a bit of a rest.

Why?

Because I couldn't finish the fence yesterday.

Well, not just that.

But I can't be picking up the slack for two.

Who's coming down?

Johnny Clarkson, Flop.

It's only for a couple of days.

Did he feel up to it again? I'm feeling up to it now.

Seriously? I can take care of my own fucking farm.

Look, this is not up for discussion.

You can tell yourself whatever you like, but you are nowhere near 100%.

Fuck this.

This is a load of bollocks.

Weird. Being back here.

I feel like we're matching soon.

We actually still come here all the time.

You're very chatty this evening.

You all right?

Who wouldn't I be?

I was only asking.

It's odd anyone asks me these days. It's fairly obvious something's bothering

you.

She's having a shit day.

We just smoke this and forget about all the other shit.

You alright there?

Well, I was gone.

I met Tom Clarke.

The Germans said you'd show me around.

Come on, sir!

Hey, where the fuck are you at?

Doing what your old lad told me to.

She's got a bad foot. She can't take the hard ground.

Well, he wants them calves weaned this week.

Yeah? And he wants her in for Dawson. Right.

Well, do it without taking a fucking lump out of her.

Just had a call from Thomas there.

Oh, yeah?

He said you fucked him out of it earlier on today.

So would you if you'd seen the way he handled that Jersey cow.

She was a foxy anyway.

So what was the point of me taking care of her all winter?

She raised them two calves, didn't she?

He had no business bringing her in.

You keep going the way you're going, we're going to lose him.

We didn't fucking need him in the first place, did we?

Where are you going now?

Trading, where do you think you're going? Fucking serious, Keegan.

After all we've talked about. Yeah, we've cloned two weeks.

Matter of shite if you're not healthy. Tell that to the rest of the town.

Pick it up now, pick it up. Come on.

Stop dropping the ball. Hold on to the ball, will you?

Hold on to the ball, lads. Stop fighting hard enough. Come on, Keegan.

Keegan.

You all right, man? Yeah.

Relax. Sorry.

All right. All right. Can you stand up?

No? All right. Take it easy. Take it easy. Sit down.

Performances from Irish athletes at the International Athletics Grand Prix in

Athlone last night the highlight was course Phil Healy winning the 200 meters

breaking a 17 year old

So, how are you feeling?

Shite enough.

What are the doctors saying?

Same thing as last time.

Take it easy.

No work, no football.

Going to listen to them this time?

I'd be fairly stupid not to.

Second chance.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what people keep saying to me.

That's because that's what it is.

Not to me.

Why? If you can't play football, Cian, it's not the end of the world.

It's not just that, though. It's everything. Like, I can't even look

own fucking farm anymore.

You just need to let yourself recover.

I'm spending my days in a house with a man who would give anything for a second

chance. Can't you see that you've been given that? With respect, don't compare

me to an ill drunk.

You're a real fucking asshole.

Do you know that?

Bill, Klinger, what's the crack, man?

Yeah, have you been talking to the lad?

In the loft?

Seven, man, seven. Yeah, no, I'll call down and take a look.

All right, bye. All right.

Go on.

Well, boys.

Thought I was fucked with a bad influence.

Look it.

One last blowout, and then we're on the straight and narrow, huh?

Let me in.

This is the last night out on the set.

Not the better off in town.

You sure the set is all you're looking for?

Never know, Sparky.

I'll get a chance to write a few wrongs while we're up there.

Shredding night is young.

Make a call in a day or two.

So nervous, man.

Maybe you should be.

Huh?

I said maybe you should be.

What does that mean?

There are no conditions to be looking for children.

You're really going to back out the one time you're needed.

I'm not going to help you hurt yourself when you've just been released from

hospital. Oh, surprise then. You went missing the last time, didn't you?

Didn't you?

I went missing.

You fucking heard me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, lad, come on.

You know, I'd knock some sense into you.

It's going to fuck all good for you. Yeah, come on, Sparky.

I was never going to count on you, man. Easy, lad, easy, come on.

How about you, Doc, eh?

What? Are you full of shit too?

Man, you haven't even tried the hash yet. I don't give a fuck about the

hash, man. Are you coming or not?

Yeah, man. Yeah.

Down by.

Fucking bullshit.

You know this.

There, man.

I think we may leave off the search party for tonight.

Fuck that, man. They're here. They're fucking here.

Man, you can do all the laps you want around here. They're not.

Stop.

If you want to stay here, if you're more comfortable here, that's fine, right?

I'm going. Enjoy your drink.

Hey, man.

Do you have a spare smoke?

I'm all out.

Come on, man. I see the box.

Yeah?

Come on, man.

Scabby prick.

What'd you call me?

You don't hear me?

No. I said scabby prick.

Who's the fucking scabby prick now, huh?

Who's the fucking scabby prick?

That's fucking it. This guy is fucked in the head.

What the fuck is the matter with you? He's fucked in the head.

Right, we'll call it.

He started on us. He wouldn't fucking leave us. Right, on your way.

Fuck. Go on. Hey, hey, hey. You're a fucking nut. On your way.

Are you going to tell me what that was about?

Not.

A church like that every Saturday night.

It is when you're about.

What would have happened if I hadn't turned up there?

Didn't buy that I got what was coming to them.

Like you got what was coming to you.

I'm being patient with you.

Because I know you're a soundskin.

Underneath it all.

But you're running on a road here.

It's 2 o 'clock in the morning.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Come on. Come on.

Now.

What were you doing today?

Ah, sure.

Better than last night, anyway.

A few painkillers in there?

I was thinking you'd want them.

I was talking to Pat Donoghue.

Oh, yeah?

What's the scandal now?

Bill Hurricane.

Gravely dead.

Passed away last night.

Are you serious?

I thought you'd want to know.

I'll be down in a minute.

It's... It's keen.

Chris, I'm... I'm so fucking sorry. What are you doing here?

I wanted to see you.

See who you are.

I'm Jane.

Can I come in for a minute?

Good crowd down there.

Yeah.

It's like they're waiting for him to die to come see him.

Are your mam and Albin not here?

No.

Coming in before morning.

And what about Peter? Is he coming?

Tied up at work at the moment. I don't know when it'll be over.

When did he go?

Last night.

He'd been unwell all day, but he'd been worse before, so I didn't think anything

of it.

And then around, um... around ten, he called out for me.

I mean, I knew something was different because he just looked so...

I

mean,

I just went in.

I held his hand for a few minutes.

I thought he might say something.

I thought he might say sorry for everything.

But he didn't.

who I expected it to be

I

think I came home expecting

him to be

Remorseful or to ask forgiveness?

Right, I'm done.

I just wanted some sort of...

...resolution.

Last time I spoke to my mum, she was in the hospital.

Dad was asleep on a chair in the corner.

I thought it would be about something important.

But all we talked about was how loud Dad snored.

Really? Yeah.

I mean, I can hear him from my room sometimes.

The important thing was that you were there.

I'm going to need someone to make tea.

God, give me something to drink.

How'd you sleep?

Better than expected.

What time is it?

Nine. Nine?

Mum and Adam will be here soon, so... I better shower.

It turned out you need me, or?

No, no, you don't know it.

See you later.

How are you now?

Not too bad.

Resting?

Sure not much else to be at.

How are you fixed for Cullough?

Ah, not too bad.

We just keep some of the young fellas out of the pub.

Good luck with that.

Never had much joy with you, anyway.

How have you been feeling?

All right.

Well, actually, shite enough, but no helping that now.

You won't call down to a few of the trainings, no?

The lads take a listen to you?

Yeah.

Might be good for some of the young fellas.

I don't know about that.

I tell you, there's not a fella on that team who doesn't respect what you have

to say.

I appreciate the offer, Bernie, but I think I've done my pinning.

Wouldn't be much good to you anyway.

You know, it's more to that club than just playing, you know.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm serious.

That team, working with you lads in the evening, got me through some hard times,

I tell you.

Just don't think it's for me.

Ah, look, it's only an idea, you know.

Just don't shut the door on it just yet.

And don't work too hard. I won't.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Our brother Bill has gone to his rest in the peace of Christ.

May the Lord now welcome him.

to the table of god's children in heaven with faith and hope in eternal

life let us assist them with our prayers let us pray to the lord

also for ourselves

I'm just going to get a reason to look good.

Sure does himself.

How you feeling?

Like if I shake another hand, my arm might fall off.

And the look of it, wouldn't we like you?

I said I'd better start taking it easy.

Better late than never.

Peter made it over in the end anyway?

Yeah.

Moved things around.

Good.

I'm actually going back to London in a few days.

I'd plan to stay longer, but it's just so sad in the house.

Of course.

What day are you planning?

Friday.

We could get a drive in before then.

We better.

Great. Yeah.

Yeah, just drop me a key in.

I've heard a lot about you.

Likewise, yeah.

How long you around till?

Just tonight.

I'm flying back early tomorrow.

Well, we'll give you the tour next time, so... Yeah, yeah.

That'd be sweet.

Hello.

It's getting awful cold. We head back in? Yeah, sure.

I better get home, actually.

Okay, yeah.

Thanks for coming.

It was a pleasure meeting you. Yeah, you too.

Good luck.

Well, see the head?

Yeah, go on, Saul.

What's the crack?

Didn't think I'd be seeing you for a while.

Yeah, I've, uh, I've cooled down a bit since then.

Can I see a smoke?

I'm trying to take a break from all that.

You in a biscuit then?

Or are you off then too?

Go on, Phil.

Listen, man, I'm sorry about you tonight.

I was, uh... I was wound up.

Don't be worried. It's Grant's.

No. No.

You've only been good to me the last few weeks, and I've given you nothing but

grief.

That's the truth.

I'm sure I was rising you.

About half a bottle of whiskey down.

Doesn't matter.

Listen, Cain.

If you ever need me, I'm there.

I just couldn't see you get hurt again.

Getting a bit old if we get into fucking rows, aren't we?

So we won't be looking for them boys again?

No. I think we've better things to be at.

That's it.

Hey, Grace.

Ah, not much. Just, um, can't see if you're around for a drive.

Of course.

Yeah, of course.

What time do you fly tomorrow?

It's fine.

Honestly.

And, uh,

I'm sure if you're ever home for a visit, you know where to find me.

You replayed?

I was doing a replay of the All -Ireland from 85.

A bit before my time.

Do you want a glass?

Yeah, go on, Phil.

Yeah, the ref didn't blow for much back then.

It was better back then.

Maybe for the fella in the armchair.

Not so sure about the lad on the ground.

You're over at Hurricanes?

No.

Red flies off tomorrow, so...

She was always a nice girl, Grace.

You two get on well, don't you?

We did.

Don't think we'll see much of her around these parts anymore.

You sound bitter.

No.

You can't always choose how long these things last.

All you can do is make them happen while they're there.

We didn't know you were back training.

Not for a couple of weeks.

Fair play.

You want to put your head over it and follow through.

Good man.

He ain't not playing anymore.

He needs to give the other lads a chance, you know.

Right

No

fear, okay You

have it you have it

Hey.

You're not meant to be flying with me. No, I am.

Mum's parked out there.

Can I come in?

Dad's in the front room, but... Yeah, right at the back.

I meant to call before.

Just... people kept coming over to the house.

Oh, you're grand.

Trying on a flick.

Time's your flick?

Nine.

Cutting it fine.

I know.

I just wanted to see you before you left.

Gray's probably just calling you today to say thanks.

You know, getting to... Getting to know you again the last few weeks.

It's meant a lot.

You don't have to thank me.

Jesus, I don't know how I would have got through any of this without you.

And if you do ever need to talk about anything, I'm only a phone call away.

You know that.

Yeah, I'll take it from there.

Better get going.

I know

Smokey days came and exhaled.

Shake round had me pulling wet.

Trips around the state.

I want team to stay.

But if peer pressure hears your name called, you don't have a state.

And if the Jets call, you don't say your name.

And if them lights flash, then we taking shifts.

Go ahead and light that smoke and tell your brains.

That's the tone of my whole missile.

Purple dreams of getting all the life alive.

On holy schemes, do the lies to try survive.

Get out the door.

easy now you'd be surprised cause when it goes in the soil it's so hard to say

goodbye once more to be a fool walking school through the foggy dew

don't know it all flying blind stop peeking out the window mind your

closing blinds parasites been sucking blood i'm pale white like this guy

I'm conflicted in this life. Good have bad intentions.

I'm afflicted by my time. Fuck the job.

Role models not about got left behind. Excuse, excuses, but I plead.

Play the victim, pay the price.

Laughing loud, crying silent.

I'm addicted to the lies.

I'm too spiteful, breaking bread forgiveness.

Shit is not my style. Came out the womb with a chip on my shoulder. My demise,

my oh my.

Father drinking, mother crying.

Nighttime, lullabies.

What am I paying for?

Praying for.

Better times, heavy eyes, steady hands.

Waiting for way more happy days.

Never came anyway.

Nothing's changed.

Vacate from myself.

On my heart, there's a strain.

What am I paying for?

Praying for better times. Heavy eyes, steady hands.

Waiting for way more happy days.

Never came anyway.

Nothing's changed.

Vacate from myself.

I'm like half.

They're my friends.
