Title: GAA players who'd kill their granny?
Post by: blanketattack on June 25, 2014, 12:41:57 PM
Following on from Johnny Giles' comments saying that the problem with the English team is they don't have enough players who'd kill their granny, who are the GAA players that would kill their granny?

This isn't to be mixed up with the dirtiest players or the toughest players.  A good example was the Kerry player John Crowley. He wasn't dirty or especially that tough (no shrinking violet either), but by God he'd kill his granny to win an All-Ireland.
Colm O'Rourke is another example that comes to mind.

Sean Cavanagh would kill his granny, then dive to the ground and start rolling around.

Does it absolutely have to be their own granny?

I remember Henry Downey giving us a team talk before a MacRory match and he said to one of the lads he dropped "I don't think you would eat through that pane of glass to get on this team!"

Henry Downey would have done that to win!

That's what people said to DJ. But he just went ahead to be sure.

God's granny is immortal.

You would need to ask a different question to Larry Reilly.

Mickey Harte would bail him out, but we aren't allowed to discuss that one in case we offend those who defend murderers, rapists and cheating, diving bastids.

No problem at all..  the Meath men would stand on granny's head, but despite the obvious pain she would courageously try to keep going with a huge oversized bandage to stem the flow, but life as cruel as it can be the agressor would ultimately triumph and the granny would have to pick herself up, learn to adapt, reinvent herself and instead of dwelling on the woes of the past be able to murder others herself going forward.

I hope you get a lenient examiner for your JC English paper Rossfan.

Granny would also have to knit herself a heavy blanket.
