The Irish Sports Fan

[quote=“Elvis Brandenberg Kremmen, post: 851029, member: 1624”]The Lad who once got a run with The County.

Played minor/U21 and made the arse-end of the senior panel for a couple of Februarys. Occasionally called in for challenge games to make up numbers.

Carries a county gearbag to club games and always wears county togs/socks but once retired NEVER wears any county apparel to senior intercounty championship games, appearing instead in jeans, deck shoes and sleeveless body warmers.

Wears tape around his wrists and folds over the waistband of his togs. Blames teammates for his mistakes and their inability to “read the game”. Fiercely critical of players on the current county team.

Gives the impression that his inter-county career was 4 times the length it actually was by regaling people with stories of the mad craic when they went away to play Antrim/Down in the League. Always has an on-field story about how some inter-county legend was a complete tool.

Harbours a massive grudge against former managers/selectors for dropping him. His type tend to have very attractive trophy wives/girlfriends who are concealing major personal insecurity issues and, between them, tend to produce unusually ugly offspring.[/quote]

Very good. :smiley:

Come on, Kevin. Don’t be silly:

Hates the gah? Scored all the points for my team in a county final.

Ignorant of Ireland’s history? Ask me anything about our Eurovision victories.

Fair enough - I’m from a very urban area in Wexford town but that’s just grasping to have a pop at me.

Very, very disappointing.

I’ve had a few recently. For that excellent response I now apologise for any of my recent jibes.

I could be wrong here but I’m pretty sure I saw that posted before on a now defunct GAA forum.

All my own work.

Nobody gives a fuck about B hurling

A lot of nerves being hit on here.:slight_smile:

  1. The GAA fan who over rates his county’s players.

Always thinks his county should get at least one All-Star even if they go out of the championship after two matches. If they reach a provincial final they should get at least three. Go any further than that and it’s at least seven. Thinks that his county’s forwards are the best in Ireland, and much better than the forwards of the team who won the All-Ireland. They just aren’t coached right and the county board are a joke. Reveres a long retired player who never won an All-Ireland and nobody outside the county remembers as one of the greatest players of all-time. Believes that his county’s traditional style of play is the true way of playing the game. Rates a famous win by his county 15 years ago as easily the greatest game ever played.

Quotes: “Michael Shields is the best defender in Ireland.”

“It would be a disgrace if Limerick don’t get an All-Star after winning Munster this year.”

“I take it as an insult to Donegal to say that we had average players.”

“You can’t honestly believe that Rory O’Carroll is a better full-back than Ger Cafferkey?”

Examples: @caoimhin, @Limerick posters, @Mayo people

They give less of a fuck about C hurling.
