GAA Clichés and Dublin Legends

How will limerick cope with the tight confines of Cusack Park?

(Despite the fact @Big_Dan_Campbell assures us it’s as big as Croke Park).

We create space by dropping a player. Gillane’s stroke on O’Donoghue is all part of one of Kiely’s eight gameplans.

we can’t seem to cope in open spaces either according to the pundits.

‘They won the game because they ran at the defence’

Ok - so as opposed to walking at them?

I recall my uncle listening to a Roscommon club game on the radio a while back.

Similar to that, the match ended level and there was confusion as to what happened next.

So much so that a bunch of large belly administrators appeared to convene a hastily arranged meeting and announce over the loudspeaker some time later

‘There will be no extra-time’.

That was it. No mention of a replay but the inference was drawn obviously. Presumably the players walked off the pitch and the crowd gathered their belongings and walked to their cars.

Who says that the GAA is run by imbeciles?

Champions league style format.

Donegal and Kildare, quarter final 2011, ended level and went to extra time.

Mayo and Roscommon, quarter final 2017, ended level and went to a replay.

I am not sure if there was a rule change in the mean time.

When you look at the ads for the world cup coming up, nothing compares to what we have seen tonight…

(and they’d be right)

(Insert County name) _____________ are the story of the summer

Despite the fact that no one will remember Carlow after Sunday

and summer has just started

And remember all these players are amateurs .

Dermot may / may not be playing for the Dubs this Summer

Kevin Martin has been full of the cliches this summer. The usual “they all have to get up and work in the morning”.

I thought it was particularly amusing after the Wexford game when he was ranting about them having to get up and work in the morning and they cant just lie about all day and recuperate, despite the fact the game was on Saturday evening and chances were they could actually just lie around and do nothing the next day and they didnt have to get up for work.

And Monday being a bank holiday a fair chance most
of them could stay in bed the following day also.

“Where else would you get it”

No, as opposed to hitting/kicking the ball in
