GAA Discussion / Re: Clash Of Colours
November 16, 2007, 11:32:27 AM
this is a pet peeve of mine, there's no logical reason why things like this can be avoided. it's the inconsistency more than anything that's annoying, Mayo wore red in the 04 AIF, but the following year when both Kerry and Mayo had the same jerseys as 04, neither changed. Then you had Meath and Donegal wearing provincial colours in 02 when they met, even though far closer colour clashes have been allowed.

Hurling Discussion / Railway Cup final

Bit of a joke the two goalkeepers wearing outfield jerseys wasn't it? You'd think the provinces would have realised in advance that their GK jerseys clashed with the opposition

I remember that alright, it was terrible, imagine if Munster played some crowd in red this season and wore their old Canterbury aways because adidas hadn't made new ones. And whatever about teams having change jerseys that don't get worn due to no clashes, what's worse is neither side changing when there is one

After three failed attempts with Cork to get to the second League game, I decided to try the 32 county knockout competition as Tipp. The first round draw paired me with Galway but I was pegged back after a good start and it took a last minute Eoin Kelly free to level it. Imagine my surprise then to be faced with a screen saying my season was over and the county board had decided not to keep me on, and Down ended up hammering some crowd called 'Draw' instead of the winners of the Tipp-Galway replay

Sorry, that's actually my mistake, Marty does it a lot too though!

'Kiero the Hero' was a nickname he was given underage as a result of so many match winning performances, though a lot of people in Cork now use it in an ironic sense. I suspect Marty was doing it for two reasons, a) being to differentiate him from the other Kieran Murphy on the Cork team, and b) simply because Marty feels the need to mention the nickname of ANY player that has one, though he uses it as well as the player's full name rather than instead of it, which is surely the point of a nickname, e.g. he says David 'Doc' O'Connor, James 'Cha' Fitzpatrick, Ger 'Redser' O'Grady etc.
