World Cup speak during GAA matches!

Listening now, Why do commentators speak this nonsense during a completely different sport? Remember Ger Canning years ago describing the goal from a Kerry forward (maybe Maurice Fitz) as 'Bergkamp like'. This was just before another World Cup.

Bergkamp should have sued.

That may have been the point Fitzgerald scored against Dublin in Semple Stadium in 2001 that you're talking about. To be, quite, honest, Fitzgerald should have sued..... and I'm not a Kerry supporter.

We won't escape Peter Crouch and Kieran Donaghy comparisons

I reckon it's because the commentators are gearing up to actually doing WC reports etc, they sometimes stick some of their gah commentators on the "lower" WC games on TV. It irks me to hear some muldoon talk about "sideline balls" in soccer matches.:eek:
