Greatly exaggerated GAA Myths

[ONeill]

Anthony Tohill was a clean player.
Francie Bellew was a dirty player.
Mickey Harte is a genius.

[Puckoon]

I am not a big fan of the "too small for intercounty football".

[Armaghtothebone]

The 1977 semi final between Dublin and Kerry was one of the greatest games ever.

[ONeill]

Football in the 70s was magical.

That if you're not careful you'll get a celtic cross in your change when you order a pint in a pub in Kerry.
Absolute bullshit....you don't get any change when you order a pint in Kerry....or anywhere else for that matter in the south these days

That GAA players are the fittest in the world.

See also Kevin Moran/Graham Geraghty/Anthony Tohill were on trial with British club x and player y said they were the fittest they have ever seen in their autobiography, but strangely no-one can find the actual quote.

Something has been more than a figment of your imagination before it becomes a myth. I've never heard anybody make that assertion in my life. Evidently it isn't true.

Heard it said of Larry Tompkins by Alan Shearer when he went for treatment in the late 80's early 90's. Then again, in them times Larry was animal fit!

[All of a Sludden]

Team of the decade.

George Graham said the same about Graham Geraghty (Longford waterboy!!) when he went for a trial with Arsenal in the mid 1990's

That Dublin v Kerry games in the late 70's were classics and better than anything since is a huge myth in my book!

Also, telling corner forwards, esp in underage games, to stay in the corner! (Although maybe that was only me that was told that!!)

Pat Spillane's (grand)mother can run faster than Francie Bellew, and she's got arthritis. She does fecking not have arthritis,

I have heard it of both Tohill & Geraghty. I think both times it was Aresnal got mentioned. Shortly afterwards there was talk of Tohill playing for Tobermore...

And a biteen of sun on his ankles knocked him out, and thats no myth.

Remember Liverpool's Roy Evans was supposed to be keeping tabs of Sherlock when Dublin were making their AI run in '95.

Bear in mind that Tony Adams had 13 pints of stout in him and playing with a binliner under his clothes.

That's nothing, Paul McGrath said he was once so drunk on the pitch he could see two balls.
