On January 18th, 2021, Eddie O'Reilly opened a drawer and found a Haiku, a poem and a Limerick he had written about himself. He was amazed at finally realising how far he had come and that day, Blue Monday, he decided it was finally time to tell his story.

It’s 1980, Charlie Haughey is in office, Ireland is in the height of recession, and a small soccer club in a rugby town is about to face one of the largest global giants of football, Real Madrid, in the first knockout round of the European Cup. Can Limerick beat the best? This is the story of three Limerick players who played the game of their lives that no one remembers. Three men considered legends in their local parish yet work day jobs to make ends meet. Three men whose football club today is on the brink of financial collapse. Sit Down and Shut Up is a David vs Goliath tale about the opera of football, the city of Limerick and a community dying out in modern times kept alive by the glory days of the past.
