GAA Clichés and Dublin Legends

Looks like some midweek dirt track on a British Loins tour of South Africa circa 1974.

“Weathered the storm”.

“Pucked EVERY ball”.

E.g., “our supporters pucked every ball with us today”, or “I had a sweat mark down the back of my T-shirt as if I had pucked every ball”

As Donal O’Grady would point out of course, pucking every ball is a foolish approach when the short hand-pass to the man in the better position would be a better play, but that is beside the point.

Kilkenny will keep going and going because they believ

It’s in their dna

Cork are Cork.

Micheal Donoghue is now showing a ruthless side

Hats, scarves and headbands.

Thurles is like a second home to them at this stage

If you can’t hurl in Thurles …

Can you imagine that happening in the men’s games?

That Camogie goalie is a disaster waiting to happen.

He hasn’t a hand to wipe his arse.

If he was shot for being a hurler he’d die an innocent man

He’s not the first cousin of a county hurler

There’s no such thing as a weak Kilkenny team

Limerick beaten out the gate by a better prepared and conditioned Kilkenny.

The Leitrim hurling team trains just as hard as the lads in Tipperary

Kilkenny just had that bit of class, Michael.

The “middle third”

That breeze is worth 3 or 4 points
