He comes across as a bitter fucker. He was out flanked and is still seething. He needs to move on from it but he enjoys the limelight more than he’d care to admit.

Joe is a great sort
He actually fully admits he loves the limelight in fairness
Joe would be great on here. Hes a tremendous wind up merchant.
I mean everything he comes out with is designed to drive lads demented
One of the twee little things about the GAA is that a team that wins by a score or two after being raging hot favourites is that they won playing poorly. It’s a lovely little condescending way of dismissing the opposition performance.

“Player X listened to the teacher. John Kiely put him in half back”
“Kerry winning the All Ireland would be bad for football”.
John Mullane has a new one today - “Most certainly” and he’s not shy about using it. He manages to crowbar it into every 3rd sentence or thereabouts. He’ll have a new one next week most certainly……
Dictionary Derek feeding him phrases like Fr Ted to Fr Jack.

Marty’s already broken out the classic “They love their football down in …”

“The All-Ireland series”.
A term dreamt up probably 30 or 35 years ago, most likely because some dullard in the GAA went to the US for a holiday and heard about the “World Series”.
There is no such thing as the “All-Ireland series”.
There are the All-Ireland football and hurling championships, alright.
Correct, a series of them every year in fact
