Three boys in green jerseys, with red hair and typical Irish physiognomies, playing hockey (which is about as close to hurling as you get in America), falling over themselves, brawling with other kids, being unceremoniously removed from the 'rink' by the 'ref,' and thrown in the 'penalty box,' upon getting out, passed out and piled in the back of a car, all the while the Pogues playing in the background . . . some sort of connection here I can't quite put my finger on.
