00:00 - 00:03They're an old-fashioned crowd, this lot
00:04 - 00:05And one thing that hasn't changed down the years
00:05 - 00:07is that Galway city is a shit show for traffic
00:08 - 00:12The hotel's location means we need to assess routes strategically
00:12 - 00:15Based on how desperate these folks are for drink.
00:17 - 00:19Just keep it simple.
00:19 - 00:21Get them straight from the church to the hotel
00:24 - 00:26Boss...
00:27 - 00:28The church...
00:31 - 00:33... the church ... it's in the town of Portumna
00:34 - 00:36Noeler said he wouldn't have it any other way
00:53 - 00:58Any of you clowns who isn't a groomsman, get out. Now.
01:13 - 01:15Fucking PORTUMNA!
01:15 - 01:17That's nearly in fucking Offaly!!
01:18 - 01:23You fucking useless eejits!
01:25 - 01:28Well Pat Markey will be unbearable
01:29 - 01:31Hasn't poor Deborah put up with enough already?
01:31 - 01:34Don't you useless dopes realise....
01:34 - 01:37... how many desperate alcoholics we're dealing with here?
01:37 - 01:40They haven't a hope of making it!
01:40 - 01:42That's not fair boss, the London crew aren't too bad
01:42 - 01:46You're some amadán! They're the fucking worst, that lot!
01:46 - 01:48But boss it'll only take an hour
01:48 - 01:52In my hole it will! It'll take an hour to cross
01:53 - 01:54the bloody Wolfe Tone bridge
01:56 - 01:57If you think the Sean Treacy's boys will be able
01:57 - 02:00you're even more of a gobshite than I though
02:00 - 02:03Those lads are an embarrassment to the parish
02:04 - 02:08Ever since that Louisa Murray woman was involved
02:08 - 02:13their fitness has gone to shite. It's only drink they're able for
02:14 - 02:16There are people here, may the good Lord himself help us
02:17 - 02:21who can't do a 20-minute bus ride without a bag of cans
02:27 - 02:29It's poor Fran I'm most upset for
02:30 - 02:34All she wanted a nice little traditional sing-song
02:34 - 02:36and some old-fashioned wrestling
02:41 - 02:42And what makes it even worse
02:43 - 02:47the tragedy of the whole thing is that Noely still has the moves
02:48 - 02:53God knows, he's been in training for this
02:54 - 02:56The boy's in the shape of his life, so he is
02:56 - 02:59His Tombstone Piledriver has never been sharper
03:00 - 03:02Now we'll never get to see the big rematch
03:04 - 03:07Don't worry love, there's always day two
03:14 - 03:16So Portumna it is then. God help us
03:19 - 03:23The first day's banjaxxed, anyways. But at least there'll be a decent feed
03:25 - 03:26As long as no greedy bugger overdoes the sandwiches
03:31 - 03:33But whoever's in charge of day two, the brother I think it is, he's under pressure
03:40 - 03:46Nothing fancy. Up to Pádraicins. Pints. A few tunes. A bit of a disco.
03:46 - 03:49The auld ones can watch you eejits wrestling.
03:53 - 03:56Don't fuck it up now lads.
