Brilliant one from a Wicklow County Final in the 1950s. My grandad told me about it. The players still had the same blood-soaked jersies from the week before. The ref was about to throw-in the ball, when one of the midfielders roared 'Throw away that feckin ball and we'll start the match.' Classic

We were outside the Ground in Ballybofey and a county Derry man said to a real donegal farmer, I got my ticket to the Paddy Bradley show. what made it funny was that there was no tickets for the game and it was pay at the gate!

Armagh v Donegal at Croker. McConville (and most of Armagh players for that matter were kicking fierce wides). Bloke sitting behind me in the Cusack Stand roars..."For F**K sake Oisin you're from South Armagh; would you F**king shoot!!!"..classic!

"There's only two Joe McNally's", from a smartalec young lad sung in the direction of St Anne's former Dublin player. To be fair Big Mac found it funny too.

I remember playing in a Minor Championship game a few years ago as goalkeeper. Was pretty decent so I am told but was always carrying a pound or two extra. One of our current county stars was running through on goal and lashed one towards the top corner. I dived full length, strangely defying gravity and pushed it round the post. There was a fair crowd there, upwards on 2,000 and a great round of applause went up. Jaysus I was proud of myself,all the lads patting my back and whatever. When the noise settled some oul boy at the back of the goals guldered to our manager " For God's sake whatever you do keep feeding him the cream buns" Well the whole place near wet themselves including me. Hard to beat the oul boys.

Played a SH Tournament in Galway a few years ago & a well known Galway hurling family had a son playing.I happened to be marking him & when a ball came down the wing we bost wrestled for the ball hit a few shoulders.Eventually he won but he cudnt rise the ball.While he was trying to rise it I think it was his girlfriend starts roaring "Johnny get it up get it up" Well I fell to my knee's in laughter.The poor girl didnt know what she was saying & poor aul Johnny was as red as his jersey!!!
