Awkward TV moments… and those Gaelic football rule changes

Now THAT was TV gold!

I know, but uncomfortable all the same…

But you couldn’t take your eyes off it!

There was some tension in the room!

It was pretty amazing… the most tense meeting I’ve seen in years!

It started off fine… then the macho stuff kicked in!

Suddenly the body language changed, and you could cut that tension with a knife! All that talk about ego…

Eh, yeah…

It must have been a strange experience for the folks with the cameras, filming it…

Not to mention for the rest of us looking in from our living rooms… our jaws on the floor!

It’s not often you see such an awkward public stand-off between two men.

Well, THREE if you count Vance…

Huh?

Zelensky, Trump AND Vance… like, there were three egos at play!

HUH?

I’m just saying there were three involved… Trump and Vance, and to a lesser degree Zelensky…

Trump and Vance? And Zelensky? THAT awkward exchange? Oh no… I’ve been talking about Tommy Tiernan v Chris Eubank!

 

(They pause to watch a recording of last weekend’s Tommy Tiernan Show in which former boxer Chris Eubank made bizarre statements while also challenging his very patient host when questioned about ego)

 

Well… that was short notice…

What?

That gathering in the local on Sunday night…

Oh yeah, it was good craic…

In our WhatsApp group, Casey called it an emergency meeting… I think he billed it ‘Rules and stools’…

It could have been worse… he could have gone with ‘Rules and fools’…

Indeed! So, to explain to our readers… Casey invited a few of us to the local to sit on our barstools and discuss the debate that has arisen about the new Gaelic football rules…

Do you think Casey panicked a bit?

Huh?

I mean, we beat Cork by 14 points on Saturday, I think those new rules are suiting us!

I know! But there was some resistance suddenly voiced to them at the weekend, and Casey felt we  should review them ourselves… over a pint or two!

It was funny when he started the role play in the bar!

Yeah! He had me as a goalkeeper… and asked you to time my imaginary kickouts!

Then the pub bore asked those lads from Oran to demonstrate the ‘3 up’ rule…

I felt the barman was getting frustrated when we began to use barstools as midfield players…

Definitely! Why do you think we didn’t get a late drink?!

Remind me?

Because the barman played us at our own game… he sounded a hooter 10 minutes after closing time!
