Title: Hurlers are ugly bastards....
Post by: the_FNG on March 04, 2007, 08:25:52 PM
...at least according to Laim Fay in the Sunday Times Culture magazine.

On Sean Og O hAilpin,

"As revered by female teenyboppers for his physical prowess as he is by male hurling fans, O hAilpin is one of GAA's few genuine pin-ups , a rare droplet of eye candy in a sport where players are often encouraged to wear face guards as much for the spectators' protection as their own."

From reading his very snipey column this didn't seem like a humourous throwaway comment, I detected an undercurrent of dislike for the GAA.

Also, Fay has the audacity to come out with this bold statement in a column that also boasts a picture of himself. The words pot, kettle and black spring to mind. He's no stranger to a cream horn himself the chubby faced wee f**ker.

I remember Liam Fay used to write great stuff in Hot Press years ago.

His book on religion in Ireland was funny as f**k.

His television reviews were very good too. Haven't read his stuff in a while though.

His column was basically slagging off GAA folk going into new careers e.g. Geraghty running for Fine Gael and Sean Og taking over from Alan Partridge on tv. I think everything he said was fair comment - especially the bit about hurlers being ugly bastdards  ;D
