This is absolutely brilliant ššš»
GAA legend MĆcheĆ”l O'Muircheartaigh turned 90 earlier this year.
Here are some of his witty live commentary āquotesā
SeĆ”n Ćg Ć hAilpĆn: his fatherās from Fermanagh, his motherās from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold.
ā¦and Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, Iāll tell ye a little story: I was in Times Square in New York last week, and I was missing the Championship back home. So I approached a newsstand and I said, āI suppose ye wouldnāt have The Kerryman, would ye?ā To which, the Egyptian behind the counter turned to me and he said, āDo you want the North Kerry edition, or the South Kerry edition?ā He had both ā so I bought both. And Dooher is back on his feetā¦
Anthony Lynch, the Cork corner-back, will be the last person to let you down ā his people are undertakers.
Colin Corkery on the 45 lets go with the right boot. It's over the bar. This man shouldnāt be playing football. Heās made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man but he couldnāt kick points like Colin Corkery.
The stopwatch has stopped. Itās up to God and the referee now. The referee is Pat Horan. God is God.
Teddy McCarthy to Mick McCarthy, no relation, Mick McCarthy back to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation.
I saw a few Sligo people at Mass in Gardiner Street this morning and the omens seem to be good for them. The priest was wearing the same colours as the Sligo jersey! 40 yards out on the Hogan Stand side of the field, CiarĆ”n Whelan goes on a rampageā¦ itās a goal! So much for religion.
He grabs the sliothar, heās on the 50! Heās on the 40! Heās on the 30ā¦ heās on the ground!
Pat Fox out to the forty and grabs the sliothar. I bought a dog from his father last week. Fox turns and sprints for goalā¦ the dog ran a great race last Tuesday in Limerickā¦ Fox, to the 21, fires a shot ā it goes to the left and wideā¦ and the dog lost as well.
