That really was a bit of a strange turn you took there Bud.

No mention of Dessie or the GPA quickly turned into a rant. Whatever your views about them that came a little outta left field

I am not saying ... that Mickey Harte should throw a shoe at him (Dessie)

Why not?

Can someone explain why the Saw Doctors get to take a swing out of every GAA occasion? Is it because they're seen as bog-hip, or something?

(Explanatory note for Nordies - you probably know them as the Seen Doctors).

The GAA · January 09, 2009, 04:37:04 PM

Because of "to win just once" and "will galway bate mayo?" i presume

Isn't Dara O'Briain always making wee digs at the GAA and is a self-confessed rugger fan? Bit strange him being on the show then.

Definitely not - hates rugby calls it crazy golf with a strange shaped ball and slags the ladyboys of D4 at every opportunity. Definite GAA background but not sure if he represented Wickla

Jinxy · January 09, 2009, 07:17:25 PM

Yeah I heard he played underage for Wicklow hurlers.
