Well we have to be raging favourites after that one. Shamie says them Fermanagh lads should have beaten the Dubs last year - the Quigley fella hit a rocket that put Cluxton, ball and all in the net. They were very unlucky to lose by 8 points and I heard the ref gave the Dubs everything - as usual.
Mammy woke me at 8 with my favourite - boiled egg and toast soldiers. But I told her it was too early because I was tired after the match and to come back at 10 - so she did. She's great. Shamie only got ordinary toast - he was raging.
Mammy then read the papers to me and I knew something was wrong. 'The feckers, the feckin feckers, feck them feckin feckers' she kept saying under her breath. Tell me says I, who is annoying ya now Mammy.
Well she says according to that Twitter machine thing you are getting fierce crissisism - I think that's the word she said - because some fellas say you went down like a sack of spuds and no-one near ya. That you're a cheat God forbid. Who is that feckin dcr22B thing? Is it a bus route?
I told her to calm down they were just keyboard warriors but she went baloobas. They're not warriors at all Aidan son - you're a warrior! A real warrior! Then she pointed at my poster on the wall that Jumpin Jack Flash made for me - and I felt three feet tall. Awesome.
Daddy put his head round the door and said you brought the family no honour again. Well to see him duck out the door and the milk jug flying at him was priceless. I wish I had as good an aim as Mammy.
Diarmuid rang then and said the AOS blow up doll was being withdrawn because it goes down too easily. We laughed so much.
But as I said to Keith after the game, it was a ferocious challenge. My fringe was not right for hours after it. It was probably worser than the Tyrone fella last year - sure his hair was nearly destroyed for life. I heard Mickey Harte was saying the same thing in some papers. Fair play to him.
Then poor Conor came into the room a bit upset at not getting a run yesterday. He jumped on Shamie in the bed and started bating him with the pillow. There were hen feathers everywhere.
Stop! I said to him, Shamie doesn't pick the team! Me and Cillian do. The great thing about deciding to go the back door this year is more games so I told Conor he'll get plenty between now and winning Sam. He was moaning about going the scenic route and never leaving McHale - we're worse than the feckin Dubs he said. Some people are only happy when they're not happy as Mammy says.
All I can say is we are flying. I am in the form of me life and you look at who we springed from the bench - Vaughan, Doherty, Andy and Barry Moran, Alan Dillon .... Jaysus things are mighty.
I'd say the Dubs are shittin it. Maybe I'll give Trevor and Connor a ring.
