I don't speak Irish however as soon as he speaks the hair stand on the back of my neck may be its just because im a GAA man and know what it means to play in a sport so unique and win with friends and family and people you have went to school with and all for the love of kicking or pucking a ball around a ball round a pitch with no other incentives than winning!!!
Of course it doesn't...but in 1981 Protestants and Catholics were killing each other over very little. But this man stood up and ignored that and referred to all the people of Ireland.
Pope Joe Connolly the First! A Sheosaimh, bhi daoine ar ais in nGaillimh le gliondar ina gcroi agus bhi daoine thall i Sasana agus Mherica ag gcaoineadh, is beag nach bhfuil mise ag caoineadh anois ag breathnu ar seo aris...go raibh maith agat Joe, an fhear thu fhein...Gaillimh Abu agus na dean dearmad lads...Scaoil amach an bobailin!!!
There is shivers going down my spine when i listen to that!!! Then when they started signig the west awake but sayen GALWAYS AWAKE insted LEGENDS!!!!!!!!! Come on Galway!!!:D:D:D
(continued) There are people back in Galway with delightment in their hearts..but we must think of those in England, in America and all over the country, they could be crying at this very moment. I'd like to thank the Limerick team for the brilliant game they gave us today... (in English) people of Galway we love you
People of Galway.. after 57 years the all-Ireland title returns to Galway.. I am very proud, as the captain, to accept this title for the whole team... Today is a great day to be a Galway person. (continued)
