Just wondering does anybody have any good quotations from local GAA matches??? "If a round bale passed him by, he wouldn't get enough of it to wipe his arse," - aimed at a goalkeeper in Kildare who conceded four goals.... "How can ya see that when ya cant even see the state of yourself," - a prominent Kildare hurler's remarks to a funnily dressed linesman (orange wolly jumper, beige chords, black wellies and an odd looking cap) who ruled a sideline in favour of the opposition...

Our manager to a less than courageous member of our football team at half time.

On a wet sunday morning at a junior football match, the manager walks into the dressing room and announces that

"you'd want the heart of a lion and the feet of an elephant to play football on a day like that"

Martin Mc Hugh remarked of the Down defence a few years ago:

"You could drive a lorry load of straw through that defence and they woludnt get a handful of it."

Thought it was very apt.

"Lads, the longer we stay in the dressing room, the longer we stay in the championship"

"Jaysus my combine harvester could turn quicker"
Heard a few years ago at a Meath Junior game about a full forward that was lacking a bit of pace.

Junior B Football match.
Full forward did everything right - slipped the full back and rounded the keeper only to absolutely blast the ball against the cross bar from no more than 4 yards out..

Amongst the widespread laughter at the shocking miss - a big roar from an auld fella went up... "Oh be the Jaysus - Where was Moses when the lights went out???""..

Still unsure what he was getting at - but it was hilarious

Dont know if this is true or not, but was told by a fella that after Niall Quinn retired from soccer he was playing a junior championship match in Kildare where he ended up taking 3 penalties inthe game, scoring them all. As Niall was walking off the field, after the game, feeling quiet pleased with himself, the opposition full back walked towards him to shake his hand and mumbled under his breath "its a pity you didnt take one in Saipan" and walked off.
