What's the weirdest roar you ever heard at a GAA match?

Some many colourful examples out there I'm sure - Great Goal for Kilkenny! - at a football match.....just kidding.

A few years back I was at a club championship final in Breffni Park in Cavan, (better half is from Cavan) on a freezing damp day, the Cavan Gaels were playing Mulahoran or someone like that, didn't know what I was doing there to be honest.

Anyhoo, there was an old man sitting a few rows behind me, classic elderly culchie, the coat, the cap etc and everytime the Mulaharon Number 8 got near the ball, he roared out:

'Ah sure kick him in the belly Packie, sure he's only a surrogate man!'

I have to admit I fell off the seat laughing, I'd heard some oddiities in my time but that took the biscuit....

Anyone got a funny story like that to tell?

Not heard but saw Christy Moore at an All Ireland semi final sitting beside me eating a big bag of cherries with a pair of binoculars to watch the match. We were in the old lower hogan about 20 rows from the front - not exactly binouclar territory.

"c'MON to f*** boys get your act together" At a ladies game

"Let the ball in to the full forward" Also at a ladies game when the goalie taken a kick out

"catch the ball with your Hands"

"referee you blew the bal before the whistle"

I am now distinguished by two shouts.

Watching Antrim play football I am the one shouting "It is not ice skating or high board diving, no points for artistic merit, just kick it over the ######g bar".

At the hurling it is usually me shouting "see those big lumps of wood youse are carrying, you are allowed to hit the ball with them" Serious team for hand passing...................

Was at a Leinster football final in the old Hogan Stand a number of years back. Was in the next section to the old Ard Comhairle section. Between the minor and senior match a bishop in full black and purple regalia came in to the section holding his ticket and looking for his seat. He walked all the way to the top of the section and halfway back down again with no luck. He stopped on the steps and looked around. It was then that a Dublin wit roared at the top of his voice, " I'm up here Daddy !" The aforementioned bishop found his seat very quickly after that.

Derry Dublin game in Clones a few years back.

A dub shouts to a garda "Here, arrest that man Cosgrove for trespassing on a football pitch" (Meaning Ray Cosgrove of course)

Patrique is the only poster to stay on topic, it's "strangest things you've heard" not funniest things.
