You know what really grinds my gears?

Frank McGuigan was a great man for kicking around the corner.

People complaining about gaa commentators really grinds my gears.  Who gives a shite, must be some outstanding commentators on here

Granted you're much more annoying, is there anyway we could mute you?

I like RTE's commentators and don't mind BBC's, but hate listening to TV3, haven't been able to watch a full match on it!

The phrase 'going forward'. Everybody seems to say it now after matches.

my work full of that shit term

I was listening to the armagh game on the radio and they kept mentioning the exclusion zone? Is this a new thing?

The nickname thing annoys me too, you don't get it in any other sport. There isn't a GAA commentator that doesnt bug me.

Really? Ever hear of 'Tiger' Woods, 'Woosie' the 'Great White Shark' or 'Monty' in golf?
Slippers Madden, Air Jordan, Magic Johnson, The A-Train in basketball.
'Dipper', 'Duck' Carey, Daniel 'Bam Bam' Rich, 'God' for Gary Ablett, 'Son of God' for Gary junior
any boxer pool or darts player.

Just off the top of my head.....


Edit: spelling

Never heard any of them, no. 
Boxing is different though, that's the name the put forward for themselves.

maniac drivers who as you try to turn right having indicated for 100 yards that you would be doing so, overtake you at 70mph in a 30 zone.

People who run to say how great someone was when they die - even if they were a right bollocks.

[lynchbhoy]

these new phrases/words flying in from yankeeland land
like when people say that something was 'a journey' - no it wasnt thats just time and life!!

also the use of the word 'amazing' (galling me when said in an am-mere-ican accent)

or the incorrect and over use of the word 'surreal'

Yes - you sure stepped up to the plate there and touched base big time.

People saying 'we'll never see the likes of him again' when someone dies. Although it does have the benefit of being open to interpretation as to whether that is a good thing or not.
