Mickey Harte in control for another 3years.

[AQMP]

Why do they keep calling it a "contract"?

I can only assume it's soccerspeak. That kind of shite is infecting a lot of the language of GAA reporting - Mickey Harte's Tyrone, centre half, kick off, goal kick, etc.

And on the other hand, a lot of the our most cherished GAA clichés have disappeared in the tendency of reporters to want to sound like Sky - what happened to daisy-cutters, the second moiety, pulling them out of the sky, a hev*, etc?

*Let me know if you know what this means.

In parts of Ulster (and maybe beyond) if you pulled your opponent's shirt or tackled with one arm (or both) wrapped round him you could be admonished by the ref or their sideline for having got a "howlt" of him, with the -owl pronounced to rhyme with the nocturnal avian.  You don't hear so much of that now (nor owls neither).

Let's hope "schemozzle" never dies!

That's another Offaly one alright, except with a 'd' at the end. Howld. It's usually heard after the full forward has dough barred the full back with a box in the lugs. When the Ref blows the whistle, or the umpire holds out his arm, the full forward usually responds with a hearty. 'Indanamajaysus, sure for f**k's sake, the bollox had a howld of me jersey for the last good hour.

[Denn Forever]

Howlt - present tense.  He has a Howlt of me jersey Ref

Howld - past tense.  The full back had a Howld of the full forward's jersey Ref.
