Best Ever Line in GAA Commentary

CD · September 08, 2013, 05:16:57 PM

Heard the immortal lines 'Unlike Pythagoras, he hasn't got the angle quite right on this one!' as Colin Ryan put a free wide today. Not a bad line in the midst of a pretty frantic second half! Any other classic lines you can think of?

This is the sort of thing he was going for, but he had no punchline unlike Micheál:

He has made an almost Lazarus-like like recovery from a heart condition, but Lazarus couldn't kick points like Colin Corkery.

There won't be a cow mil... Ah, you know the rest.

No no no no no.

A great line from today was when Mulcahy and Loughnane were getting interviewed and Lyster said that it was unlucky for to be playing 20 years and not recieve and all-ireland medal when Mulcahy said

' There is a man down in Cork who got two within a fortnight'. Class

I believe Marty uttered the words "Oh Holy Moses" when Domhnall O'Donovan equalised today.

It wasn't commentary but the time Brian Cody let Marty have it during an interview and when the camera went back to the studio all the boys were laughing and Get Loughnan says someone should be sent down to pick Marty up of the floor, thought that was a priceless moment

Cody is a walking condom-filler.

When Mannion scored his fisted goal against Kerry, the co-commentator (I think it was McStay) said he 'tomahawked' it into the net. Hilarious!

Leave K-Mac alone. No wonder he's the only man alive to coach the green and red to a senior AI if the rest of ye are so easily assumed

Matthew McMahon - Clare FM GAA commentator (during the All-Ireland 95)

"The cigarettes are being lit here in the commentary box, the lads are getting anxious, its a line ball down there to Clare and who's to take it?... Will ye put 'em out lads ye'll choke me."
