Our lads fell away badly in the second half in Castlebar… now that’s bad!
Actually, that’s good! It means Davy is under no illusions that we are fading out of games in the second half, so he has time now to address it!
No, it’s bad, because we’re playing mighty Kerry next!
No, that’s good… what better way to get a disappointing performance out of your system than by taking on Kerry, with very few people giving us much chance?
But that’s bad, because the reason they won’t be giving us much chance is down to our unconvincing form!
But that’s good, ‘cos we will be underdogs!
Yeah, but we’re still up against it, and after Kerry we face a strong Derry team, so that’s bad!
No, that’s also good, ‘cos we have to measure ourselves against the best, and Derry have been the best so far this season!
(They pause to draw breath, which is good)
Well, I got soaked on Saturday evening, and I was thoroughly fed up by the final whistle, so that’s bad…
Nah! A drop of rain never did anyone any harm! The only reason you got so wet is because you were out and about on one of these great league journeys… the league, regardless of the weather, is magical! That’s good!
Well, by the time we got back to Roscommon it was nearly closing time, so that’s bad!
Nah, directly as a result of it being so late, we only had two pints… and that meant a hangover-free Sunday, so that’s good!
Well, we met the Pub Bore and he went on about whether or not you’re going to run in the local elections. He was really tedious, so that’s bad!
On the contrary, that means people are speculating about my political intentions, so that’s good!
Say what you like, but it was a disappointing weekend on the GAA front, so that’s bad…
Hold on! Roscommon ladies had a great win, so that’s good!
(They pause to discuss whether the plural of referendum is referendums or referenda)
Well, that row between the former chair of RTE and the Minister for Media is still rumbling on, so that’s bad!
Maybe so, but a new chair has been appointed, so that’s good!
Does that mean the usual suspects will be on Prime Time, Claire Byrne, Today FM, Newstalk, the Tonight Show, etc… going on ad nauseam about a new broom, and what RTE must do next, and greater transparency…?
Yes!
Both: Now THAT’S bad!
