Great Irish Sporting Myths

[From the Bunker]

Go Games are non-competitive.

Yes, have been at a plethora of Go Games the last couple of years. Good players are never subbed off. Weak players are hidden in the corners of the pitch and subbed off in rotation. If a weak player get the ball he is encouraged to pass. The stronger player is told to run with the ball and never encouraged to pass to a weaker player . Winning is all that matters to the Coaches. Coach ego is far more important than weak player or team development.

Larry Reilly

That's no myth...Larry once got bitten by a rattle snake and after 3 days of excruciating pain the snake finally died. Now go home and say 5 decades of the Rosary

The only thing worse is bleeding heart parents taking their kids to a plethora of matches, complaining at every farts turn about the coaches and never getting involved to help.

There is one about Xabi Alonso taking a game for someone too.

The question used to be "who is the only person with a champions league medal and an all Ireland medal?"
We can be sure he almost certainly played a game, an all Ireland medal though, dubious.

Wait a minute, hill 16 wasn't built on the rubble of the rising?

Yeah, our course! Was helping at a registration day and we the coaches were talking about the year ahead. One of the Managers was talking about the under 10 team. He stated that for him the goal was to have all the best players playing together all the time and had no time for weaker players. I told him if that's the way you think, go over to the parents of these children at the registration and tell them not to be wasting their money and that their children are of no use.
