Marie Crowe reads out the Div 4 NFL results …
… Wicklow 2-12 Carlow 2-14
Des “And that win has put Wicklow right in the mix for promotion”

Marty spends the first half of the Clare game extolling the virtues of one Gearoid Sheedy of Ogonelloe. “When you hear the name Sheedy you automatically think of Ogonelloe” “Gearoid Sheedy is on fire” “That’s a third point for Gearoid Sheedy”.

Fast forward to the start of the second half. “Gearoid Sheedy isn’t actually playing. Jack O’Neill has scored three points for Clare”.

Not once but twice now by Darragh Maloney.

Weren’t Sheedy’s Clarecastle?

1036

I thought so.

1037

I hope they label Jack O’Neill as Gearoid Sheedy for the rest of the year just for the laugh.

Des today.

Gives the score in the Monaghan game. That’s a great win for Monaghan they hung on well at the end.

Then a pause. “Of course that games not over yet”

I automatically think of Everton, Essendon, the missed long range free at the end of the fourth Dublin-Meath game in 1991 and Judge Hugh O’Flaherty.

Forde is the surname I associate with Ogonelloe.

There is a big enough crew of Sheedy’s who have hurled for Ogonnalloe for generations in fairness to Marty.

Many years ago I lived in a house in Castletroy for the summer next door to one of the many properties owned by Marty (I say many because I knew some lasses that lived in a house by South Court that he owned as well). Anyway, one of the housemates that summer was a Forde from Ogonelloe.

How did Darren get a job in sports journalism when he hasn’t a clue about sport? Mind boggling.

1048

Was he not an actuary in an earlier incarnation. A maths wizard.:man_mage:

It’s from the Dazzlers twitter bio he calls himself a “story teller” and an “executive coach”

Dazzler could really get the lads in sales pumped up with a few fun team building exercises

You’re thinking of Sarah McInerney’s other Co-pilot, her husband. She might have mentioned it a few times.

The Dazzler is from the story telling tradition in journalism, not the dull facts tradition.

This is why he is the next great GAA match commentator.

He has IT (as in the pronoun, not information technology).
