The Marty Squad

This is awful tripe. Marty drools over everything that a Kilkenny and Kerry players do. Brenda Donoghue has no clue at all about anything to do with GAA and regularly gets people's name wrong, Anna Geary's very harsh cristicism of players and generalisms...awful guff..

Joe brolly.

Michael Darragh MCauley's haircut. Cant help Thinking "Father Damo" from Father Ted' everytime i see him running Down the filed with the flop bouncing all over the place...Any barbers' where you come from Boy..?

The soccer Chant from the Hill in Croker.

And the new all the young lads are at... Your defence is terrified...heard the Fermanagh lads at it with Quigly's on Fire and Monaghan and Mansey's on Fire..Got a Good laugh in Cavan at the first game..A group where in Chorus above a bar Singing it and a Donegal man Shouts up to them...You better call the fire brigade then..Lol...dont mind Young lads having a bit of craic but its Singing it with an English accent that makes it cringey for me.

I think some people need to distinguish between things that they don't like, and things that make them cringe. Fair enough you mightn't like a certain commentator or whatever, but I find it hard to believe he makes you cringe.

My addition to the cringeworthiness is the desperate craving for attention people want for hurling. The slapping ourselves on the back when some american comments "wow look at this crazy irish sport". An absolute nobody from Britain or the USA just needs to stick up a tweet about seeing hurling and people here absolutely lap it up, even the media here will have an article about it. It makes us look so desperate and small time.

"A farmer by trade a hurler by nature"...Orr something long them lines that comes out of Marty's mouth....

"Galway showing Tribal pride"...As if their nickname and where they come from is going to make us more determined than any other county...

Some of the local announcers at games who sound like they are drunk getting names wrong and numbers wrong for Subs etc....

Crying in the dugout after getting sent off for something that if you'd done the same thing on the street you'd be up in court for it.

Havin' a hape of drink before a game and then bursting for a piss before the ball is even thrown in, that's a scourge, the Gaa should look into chamber pots.

The amount of Dublin fans livin' in me county, they're a nuisance altogether!

Watching Meath play these days, that's certainly cringe worthy.

The parade behind the Artane boys band. Lets all warm up and then stroll around the pitch for 10 minutes, imagine the Euro 2016 final being preceeded by such utter rubbish!
People being interviewed saying "'d'ya know". If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you.
Umpires older than my father having a guess at a point or not.
The Mayo fellah in Limerick being dragged off the pitch.

And then him being turned in to a celebrity with people asking for a photo with him in Supermacs. Certainly cringeworthy.

Martin carney s phrases. Yesterday he said kerry were getting their creative juices flowing. And gives no real analysis. Mike finnertys phrases. He always says m dara mc is mixing business with pleasure whatever the hell that means. But the worst of all is marty morrisey when the draw for the championship comes round. Oohh sligo v london ...fascinating draw. Oooh carlow v wicklow ....mouthwatering draw. No its not. Its the same bloody teams playing each other every year. I wish he would stop kissing gaa ass and say thats a dull draw ...wouldnt cork v monaghan be more exciting

Supporters beside you saying something was 'definitely a point' when it was just impossible to call it from there.

Free takers off the ground taking extra long over a 14 yards free straight in front of posts going through a 'egolistic routine' even when their team is losing. Fermanagh lad at it recently v donegal

People that know very little about the GAA but they know you have a huge interest in it and they try to talk to you about it e.g. a work collegue or boss.

The murmuring of the national anthem played at a funereal pace at almost all GAA grounds. Why cant we blast it out like the Aviva at a Rugby International and half the crowd Unionists.

The general palaver before championship games, I think the parade has reached its sell by date, the male equivalent of the 'Lovely Girls' contest on Father Ted.

Dub supporters living in the country who claim to know it all and then can't name the Dublin team from that day
