GAA Clichés and Dublin Legends

U OK, hun?

Yup. Probably just as well you struggle with irony hon with the day thats in it

A lot of journalists, pundits and GAA men are driven demented by the sweeper system.

Even more so if it’s an UNDERAGE team being forced by their management to play a sweeper system. It’s considered a crime against hurling and cruelty to children.

“Ah jaysus no, did you hear? 16 years old and they playing a sweeper…”

FotF PM O’Sullivan wasn’t happy about it in The Examiner yesterday.

I don’t think you’re OK hun

You seem extremely jumpy and very on edge - and irony doesn’t come easily at all to such people

You’ve seemed that way for the last three weeks in fact

Hurling and cruelty to children have traditionally gone hand in hand

Both in the conventional sense and in terms of winding the fuck out of utter simpletons from Galway

Have you heard from Blinky yet? Is he ok?

“up your hole with a big jam roll”

Player A puts in the hard yards and does an amount of the dirty work

Maurice made sure that this year’s football final will be “one for the purists”

Sweep sweep

[Losing team] are behind, but they’ll keep battling for every ball.

He’s not that type of player

I don’t think anyone will say that with a straight face tonight.

“You don’t want to see a player sent off on the biggest day of the year.”

“The sending off ruined the match” - even when it’s a blatant red.

Greatest hurler of all time Henry Shefflin said it was a yellow

Sure Tommy got a belt and he got straight up.

Momentum for the replay

The replay will be won by the team which learns most from the drawn game.
