The Road to Croker starts here!

Ger Canning and Marty Morrissey just cant compare to Michael o muircheartaigh

........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 Hailpín.... 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"
