— See Bill O’Herlihy died.

— I can’t believe it.

— I know. Same here.

— I can’t— He was brilliant.

— The best – him and the other lads. The best thing on telly.

— He was one o’ those people— Did yeh ever meet him?

— No, but I know wha’ yeh mean. It was like we knew him.

— An’ liked him.

— Loved him.

— He took the football seriously.

— Like politics.

— Exactly. He took us seriously.

— He’d have the lads riled up an’ you’d flick across to ITV an’ there’d be ads, and yeh’d flick back to Bill an’ the lads would still be shoutin’ – an’ yeh’d flick to BBC an’ they’d be analysin’ Thierry Henry’s fuckin’ cardigan. An’ back to RTE an’ Bill an’ the lads would still be talkin’ abou’ football.

— No shite or fashion statements.

— Except Bill’s ties.

— D’yeh know what it is? He made me happy.

— Yep.

— After watchin’ him. I might be shoutin’ at the telly. But I was always happy.

— You can’t say more abou’ the man, really, can yeh? He made us happy.

— Okey doke.

— Good night an’ God bless.
