had a town team come out to play us in a practice match, St.Josephs i think, one of their players shipped a heavy tackle and proceeded to roar at the ref
'Jasus ref we didnt come out here to be kicked around by a bunch of farmers'

Could be hearsay but a friend swore its true that at half time in a Junior C final many years ago in Meath this team went in 13 points down at half time and feeling absolutely demoralised .This was their first final for years and the whole parish had great expectations and the build up to the match had been the talk of the place for weeks. The manager ,struggling for the right words to rally the troops ,turned to the oldest member of the team who had been talked out of retirement at 39 for the game for some encouragement. After a moments silence he uttered the following words-'take your time lads because the longer we stay in this dressing room the longer we will stay in this years championship'!!

When talking about needing goals the manager said......."Lads its either full duck or no dinner!"

Heard at a Connaght Football Final a few years back the ref was making a few rash and hurried decisions and a Roscommon fan was not happy " Jaysus ref you're in an awful hurry, you mushst have hay down somewhere"

One of our players (full back) at a Community Games match a few years ago. Manager: You're winning every ball that comes but you're trying to go through the full forward on the way out with, would you ever go around him? Full back: How the **** can i go around him he's as big as a bus! Lightened the half-time mood no end.

Saw this on another website:

At the All Ireland Final in 2006 with Mayo and Kerry in Hill 16, the Mayofans were chanting "BRING ON CORA STAUNTON"

During Kerry-Dublin minor game (followed by Kerry-Meath in the seniors) in '01.
2 Dubs sitting behind two Gaeltacht lads, hearing them speak Irish.
10 mins into the senior game, Dub taps one of the Gaeltacht lads on the shoulder: "I thought ye switch over to English for the senior game?"

Someone I know heard this at a ladies football match a while back....
The goalie of one of the teams was a little on the large side and would not move - in, out or side to side - and was letting in a rake
of scores. The manager was on the sideline trying to encourage her to move out to the ball when an auld lad walks up to him, taps
him on the shoulder and says, 'hey lad, would she follow a bucket'
cruel...I know
