Things I don't like to hear in GAA anymore, or want to hear again.

[muppet]

Things I don't want to hear again: people who think that it is essential to shout "come on <insert player's name>!" every time a player on their team - any and every player - gets the ball. Okay, you can read the programme, well done

This is still better than 'come on number 7'.

Tyrone people telling Kerry people how football should be played.

My womans mother keeps saying at football matches 'take him on'. But she isnt even talking about the fella with the ball, this is her way of saying defender tackle that man.

What they mean is that the team start playing at the beginning of the match & not let the opposition get off to a good start, which happens to teams on many occasions

I.E. dont start playing half way through the first half when the opposition are half a dozen points up

[leenie]

but it stands to reason you want them play well all through........

still drives me mad...

Good job Maggie's not here to see that elementary error.

You wouldn't hear them but I miss all the old advertising hoardings they had at Croke Park.

Bring back Silvermints, Go Greyhound Racing, Church & General, Go Esso Buy Esso etc.

Bring back the old scoreboard they had in the Nally while we're at it - The Big Tree Dorset Street, An Poitín Stil Rathcoole. Ah memories!
