GAA Clichés and Dublin Legends

“Leaders all over the field”, said about Monaghan or any team that play well and win a game

“hung it” in the back of the net. What the f*ck does this mean? Is this the new cooley cool dude term to use in the pub on a Sunday night spoofing to the barman at the counter?

“Stuck it in the onion bag Ger”

:rofl: cooley cool dude…

“scrambling” for all Ireland final tickets…

“It hasn’t sunk in yet”.

Hat tip: Thomas Barr (Athletics)

“It could be a year too soon for Team X.”

“Whoever takes their chances better will win.”

John Hanbury is currently the focus of the “rumour mill”.

“the dreaded nine point lead”

“To be fair, you wouldn’t begrudge them an All-Ireland.”

“Dublin/Galway/Kilkenny/Kerry etc.can play it any way you like.”

“It’s important to enjoy an All-Ireland final because they don’t come around every day/it might never come around again for you/you might not get another chance” etc.

It’s important that X push on after this win

“There are always tickets to be had at the Kilmacud 7s.”

Brian is rolling out the stars tonight. Camogie Association president Kathleen Woods is telling us that it’s a big weekend for camogie. Actually Brian told us that in question/statement form in that inimitable way of his.

Barry Cahill is on now.

Barry agrees with Brian’s points that “there’s so much interest in the ladies’ games now”, and that the standard is very high - it’s very skilful".

Barry says that the Dublin football team are “a very humble bunch of guys”.

Orchard county native Kathleen reminiscing about Armagh 's All-Ireland win in 2002 now.

“We’re Gaels”, so of course it’s a fond memory, she says.

An All-Ireland win “shortens the winter”, says Barry.

Protection, Inclusion and Integration are three key points upon which Kathleen’s presidency is based.

She says she always goes back to A-gawn O’Fareeel’s comment, which I can’t remember.

Kathleen says the camogie association have a great relationship with the ladies’ football association.

Brian says to Barry that the Dublin football team have several players who would be great additions to the Dublin hurling team.

Barry concurs but tells us that the demands are so great that he thinks you have to concentrate on the one sport. He mentions Conal Keaney, and then tells us that Conal is getting married this weekend. Congratulations, or should I say “Comhgairdeas is cheaid”, Conal.

Thanks for that, it was almost like being there, only one million times more boring and dull.

Being where?

There

There’s no there if you can’t identify there.

@Sidney, more instances of folk thinking the Liam MacCarthy Cup is a human being in recent weeks.

Anthropomorphism in the GAA is a very strange thing.

Did you know Kyle Hayes calls each of his hurling bats Charlene?
