“Character”.
A cliché which bedevils all sport nowadays and the GAA has enthusiastically embraced it.
‘They died with their boots on’
What?
“They’re a proud county”
Heard this from both Pat Ryan and Keith Rossiter in the last week.
When predicting the outcome of a non-knockout game, it is commonly said that Team X should beat Team Y because Team X’s “need is greater”.
ie. “Clare to beat Limerick because their need is greater.”
Not a GAA cliche
[Insert GAA Administrator name] doesn’t give a damn about hurling.

Back Pocket. Do GAA players keep their winners medals only in their back pocket?

There’s lads around Laois with minor medals still in the back pockets
They’re used as currency down in Kerry.
“Arse pocket” when you’re speaking informally.
If I had any medals I’d keep them there.
