Micheal O Muirheartaigh masterpieces:

"... and Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, i'll 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 'I suppose ye wouldn't have the Kerryman would ye?' To which, the Egyptian behind the counter turned to me and he said 'do you want the North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?'... he had both...so I bought both.
And Dooher is back on his feet..."

"Anthony Lynch the Cork corner back will be the last person to let you down - his people are undertakers"


"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
Ciaran Whelan goes on a rampage, its a goal. So much for religion."


"Colin Corkery on the 45 lets go with the right boot. Its over the
bar. This man shouldn't be playing football. He's made an almost
Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man but he
couldn't kick points like Colin Corkery.

"1-5 to 0-8.. well from Lapland to the Antarctic, that's level scores
in any man's language".


"Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now ... but here
comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail ...... I've seen it all now, a Rabbitte
chasing a Fox around Croke Park !"

"I see John O'Donnell dispensing water on the sideline. Tipperary ,
sponsored by a water company. Cork Sponsored by a tae company. I
wonder will they meet later for afternoon tae."


"Teddy looks at the ball, the ball looks at Teddy"

"Danny "The Yank" Culloty. He came down from the mountains and hasn't
he done well"

"He grabs the sliotar, he's on the 50......he's on the 40......he's
on the 30..........................
he's on the ground"


"In the first half they played with the wind. In the second half they
played with the ball".


"He kicks the ball lan san aer, could've been a goal, could've been a
point.............it went wide."


"Stephen Byrne with the puck out for Offaly....Stephen, one of
12......all but one are here to-day, the one that's missing is Mary, she's at

home minding the house.....and the ball is dropping i lar na bpairce...."


"Pat Fox out to the forty and grabs the sliothar, I bought a dog from
his father last week. Fox turns and sprints for goal, the dog ran a great
race last Tuesday in Limerick . Fox to the 21 fires a shot, it goes to the
left and wide..... and the dog lost as well


"Sean Og o Hailpin.... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from
Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold

"Teddy McCarthy to John McCarthy, no relation, John McCarthy back to
Teddy McCarthy, still no relation "

I think there is a greyhound call after him as well.

You'd never get tired of reading it.
I think I heard him saying last Sunday ...
"Cork played with the wind in the first half and themselves in the second"

only joking !
