I liked the story of Down v Kerry in the 60s. Can't remember the year or players involved. But Down were ahead near full time, and the Kerry player asks the ref "how longs left?". The Down player was nearby, and says "365 days".

Paddy Doherty said this.

"When you take on the responsibility of representing your place and as soon as you put on the jersey of Roscommon or whatever place you come from, people will identify you as coming from that place. And then you have a responsibility to perform and act to show what you are made of for the good of that community."

Not heard at a match and it has been on here several times before but its worth another mention....


It involves the Ballygar-St. Brendan's hurling club in Galway where a major dispute reared it's head at the AGM. The chairman is reportedly a straight-talking bachelor of questionable diplomacy. Amidst the row, a newly appointed priest took the floor commenting on how the GAA should be a focal point for the 2 parishes, not a source of argument. He continued on about how everyone should pull together for the good of the club and see the club as a unifying force.

The chairman stood up and said: "Thanks a lot for that now Father, but that's the kind of shite that sickens my hole."
