728634 One of my fondest/strangest memories from a GAA match was a couple of years ago in Croke Park when Meath were playing Kildare when a fairly elderly man sitting a few rows in front of me was eating a Sunday dinner out of a see through plastic bag! Potatoes, carrots, roast beef and best of all covered in gravy! But kept trying to do it discreetly by putting his head down into the bag everytime!

Brilliant. Wud love to give that old man a manly hug for some reaon.

Dublin fan shouting abuse at Mick Lyons. "Come up here Lyons and see how hard you are." Old Dub fan turns and says "Rather than Lyons come up here why don't you go down to the pitch there". Silence. Hilarious.

I saw a neighbour play an U14 Gaelic football match wearing a hurling helmet cos earlier that day we were playing war & had him pegged under a shopping trolly and my troops lobbed 'the grenade' (half a hurley, from the boss down) and although he could see it coming through the air, he'd taken up a dire position under the shopping trolley and it landed on his head, the broken part straight into his noggin.

He got 6 stitches and played in goal for the U14's that night. He never played war with us again.

In a reserve league game one of our defenders received the ball. As he cleared the ball, another of our defenders ran across his path and got hit with the ball in the face and knocked him out cold.

Jason Sherlock kissing the referee in 95 I think it was, a classic! Also the Dublin v Cork league game that went to extra time, except the cork team went to get the train which left the Dublin team having to come out on the field by themselves to tap the ball into the net so the ref could blow the whistle and award the game to Dublin, hilarious!

Probably the time when I was playing a minor hurling match when a brave lad substitute corner forward came on for the one I was marking and gave me a jab into the ribs with his hurl straight away that doubled me over and once I had recovered from the initial shock I threw down my hurl and battered him on the spot!!........I was first to every ball and he never got a score off me!!!

Tyrants on the field of play must be met head on!!..........That was a funny day, although he left me with a right sore bruise!!

Sligo versus Galway in Markievicz Park in 2007 I think. Anyways it was in the middle of the whole cryptosporidium situation in Galway when they couldn't drink the tap water. The sympathy from the Sligomen was summed up with the chant from the terrace:

"You're only here for the water, here for the water!"

728353 Can't remember the year or who we were playing, think it was Meath Laois in portlaoise. Drunken meath fan on the pitch taking penalties with a spare ball that had been left out, 5 gaurds standing on the sideline watching and laughing at him as the crowd cheered him on.

Haha I remember that, we were playing Westmeath. He kept missing and when he eventually scored he got the biggest cheer of the day!

Kinda funny, kinda cruel this one and not technically at an actual match.

Was at Oxegen in 2007, in the campsite they were showing the Connaght final on a big screen. There was a couple of tents beside us and the people in them were all from Sligo. It was heading into injury time and Sligo were holding on by a couple of points, the lads and ladies were roaring and screaming and going buck mad at every ball as it was gonna be their first Connaght title in God know'se how may years. Next minute the big screen cuts off.

The look on their faces was priceless! There was a mad scramble for a radio in a tent to find out how it finished and then some man came bounding out and did a Klinnsman dive straight into a massive puddle. The rest of the gang jumped about celebrating and threw drink and muck all over themselves and everyone else. Serious craic.

Ha yeah that was it Men of 49.. didn't think it was Westmeath though. He was throwing it up in the air and trying to volley it and everything. Locked.

728503 The releasing of a chicken onto the pitch a few years ago for a Kildare-Laois derby in O Moore park. Classic!

jungle joe

I saw Jungle Joe in Tullamore there the day Kildare gave us a hiding last year.
It was before the game, Jungle was soloing a plastic childrens football up the main road roaring Come On Layx, Ill bate them myself!!!.
Classic Jungle.

Have to say, he prob wouldnt have done much worse than the actual team that day.

A senior club championship match years ago, somtime in the early 90's. Daingean & someone else, may have been Kilcormac/Killoughey. Match was a draw heading towards full time. Had been a bad-tempered game throughout and right at the end a fight broke out close to the corner where the tunnel was (this was in O'Connor Park). A number of people got involved, corner back, corner forward, full back & full forward.
Play continued to develop at the far end, Daingean won the ball and their midfielder (I think) ended up going on a solo run towards the goals, with no full back to meet him he continued running where he was soon met by an empty net as by this stage the goalkeeper and several others had joined the fight going on in the corner. He duly stroked the ball home to the empty net. The Goal stood. Daingean won by a goal

Kinda sick but very funny! After a night out a friend of mine went put to play a match, his stomach wanst the best after all the drink the night before and wen the first ball came into him it went straight into the chest which caused him to have a little accident!! Then he got a bit of a stinging feeling behind so he had to come off and as he was walking off he got sick on the sideline!! What an athlete!!!!!
