THIS IS TRULY a Christmas miracle.
Last night, Dublin man Jason Cooney was on Camden Street for a work Christmas party.
A couple of colleagues were outside the pub mess fighting, throwing out a few Conor McGregor impressions when the man himself stopped his car beside them
What a plot twist.
There they were, messing around outside the pub
A passerby threw out the classic “You’ll do nuttin’” line… and the boys kept up the McGregor impressions
The jeep that is pulling up there?
Yeah, McGregor himself was inside absolutely loving it
What are the chances?
Even better, the Christmas party was for Human Centred Movement - a Dublin-based company that teaches classes in how to move in a pain free way.
No wonder the lads have some serious moves, then.
Jason tells DailyEdge.ie that the boys absolutely lost it when he showed up but that the crowd inside weren’t buying the story:
no one believed us!
Well, now they have video evidence to back it up – and no one will ever doubt the story again.

While I’ve been quick to say he hasn’t impressed me at all in some aspects of his play, no denying he has been a great addition. Carty can be up and down with form and fitness and, save a purple patch by Conor Fitzgerald in the middle of 19/20, has had to play when he could do with a break for physical and mental form. Like Carty was flogged last year when Hawkshaw and Fitz were injured, but there was no real alternative. Having someone of Hanrahan’s level there too is great, and I was delighted when he signed.
He also has strengths that you could question Carty can be weak on. While I critique JJ’s attack-manship, another side of that very coin could argue unlike Carty, who seems to put the whole weight and responsiblity of Connacht’s whole attack on his shoulders, JJ is great in trying to utilise playmakers in the centre and SH. As well as having some days where his boot is almost laser guided.
With all respect to himself and Carty though. Post 2025 Connacht need to have a new 10 making strides. Perhaps Harry West or Sean Naughton (who looks like a superstar) can step up? If not maybe look at the 4th or 5th choice in Leinster? Prendergast, Tector, etc.
@David Hickey: Where is Conor Fitzgerald?
