It's Good to be Irish!

I was there ! I cried I laughed I cheered I panicked I worried I cried again I stood I sat I sang I clapped I said hello to people I don't know I talked to Joe live on air I was proud I was nervous I was blessed I was anxious I was elated I waved to Mr Cameron but more importantly hugged Katies mam Bridget and sister Sarah. I had the craic with the two Daves and Stuy we drank tea and ate muffins we were denied access to the olympic park . but we didn't care we had seen Katie box to perfection. To be honest none of knew what was going on but they kindly put the score up on a big screen . So we sang about fields in athenry and fields in France we didn't care what fields sure Katie was winning . We did ole ole ole like euro 88 and we tried to make Katies name fit into that one. We flew the tricolour with no shame no anger no malice just pure patriotic joy at the sight of our world leader not taking the bait of her opponent and just sticking to her t...
ask of racking up the points. then I heard her modesty and humility as she gave the glory to God. What a woman. on my flag I wrote Katie Taylor Psalm 18 . Created by God . trained by Peter. I will now add Made in Ireland just to remind the lads at Sky that she is totally green White and gold ! We are sitting in the hotel reception drained cos we just went four rounds in a women's boxing ring and that is tough going . But such a joy in our hearts and a secret smugness that whispers I'm Irish and I was there. to the Taylor family love you loads Be Blessed tomorrow . Katie the kings kid you inspired me to wear the psalm on my jersey so even old men like me can learn to have a pride in the scripture . So tonight treat yourself before you sleep .Read psalm 18 (unless of course you bare a Russian boxer!!!) like I say it's good to be Irish
