Enda’s ‘hit her, I’ll hold your coat’ triumph over Merkel is a hollow one
COMETH the hour, cometh the man — our Enda — who may not have been in the ring with Merkel last week, but can’t you just picture him dancing around the periphery, shouting “hit her, I’ll hold your coats”, while the Italian and Spanish champions put manners on her.
Mayo cute hoor that he is, the brave Enda would have struggled manfully to hoist her aloft if she had KO’d the two boys, while gasping “fair play to you, Angie, I was right behind you all the time”.
In this vale of tears we have to savour our moments of glory, however few and fleeting, when and where we find them. We can forgive the Castlebar pullet his bantam cock moment as he strutted the EU farmyard crowing of his victory over the German fox. He’ll be back in the pot soon enough.
