Its funny i was walking down the steps of the Cusack stand yesterday when he interview was happening and just sort of said to myself, did he say what i thought he said? There was so much noise in the stadium that many people werent sure what he even said. Im sure it was more noticeable on the telly but in fairness kids hear a lot worse these days up at the local pitch etc. Much ado about nothing, if they insist on interviewing sports people straight away after the final whistle then its going to happen, give them a few minutes to enjoy themselves, calm themselves down before sticking a microphone in their face in my opinion. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1353 - 05/09/2016 15:01:23 1910278 Link
How many Hail Marys will he get in confession? Given the public nature of this particular sin; his parish priest will come under pressure to really come down hard on him... bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 05/09/2016 15:19:04 1910282 Link
Replying To TheHermit: "I was disappointed myself. Kieran Donaghy gave a memorable line 2 years ago in the same situation but he didn't need to say 'Well Joe Brolly, what do you F-ing thing of that' p- though Plenty of people down here would probably not have been too upset if he said it like that! Sometimes I think these lads being interviewed on the field after big victories are only trying to copy Star anyway. It's a if they want to say something dramatic, memorable or controversial so the giff of it gets posted up on Joe.ie or Balls.ie or wherever else, maybe it might make them get a few more twitter followers or get a few more social media hits etc etc. Ok, he is a young guy, full of adrenaline, being asked straight after a huge moment in his life to talk to a television audience of hundreds of thousands. You can understand why things like that might creep out of a fella's mouth in the exhilaration of the moment. But I still think you can conduct and should be able to conduct yourself better in those situations. I mean these guys know that whether they like it or not they are expected to be role models for kids. That's part of what comes with being an inter-county player at the highest level. He didn't try to apologie after it came out of his mouth and that is actually what I find most disappointing, I wouldn't mind it slipping out if he just said sorry, didn't mean that or something." I disagree. One comment was pre planned....oh if we win I'm gonna stick it to brolly. the other was a guy full of emotion after winning the All Ireland. He was just talking normally.

Stick a mic in the face of an over-excited or overly-disappointed sports person - expect to hear a couple of f-bombs. Brolly (Monaghan) - Posts: 4472 - 05/09/2016 15:56:56 1910314 Link
Thought it was in appropriate. It actually sounded forced: "We're the All-Ireland champions of Fkin Ireland " is not smething you'd say naturally. Also I don't necessarily want my 4 year old to hear that. I know we have little respect for our politicians now but the President was there in an official capacity. Perhaps players should be reminded they are representing their countries and with that comes with certain responsibilities. Le t himself down badly in my opinion. But, on the other hand , it's risky business sticking a microphone in to the face of someone who had adrenaline still coursing through the veins. avonali (Dublin)** - Posts: 1974 - 05/09/2016 15:58:25 1910317 Link

Don't get me wrong. I'm no shrinking violet when it comes to a bit of swearing. The wife has threatened a swear jar introduction in the past! I appreciate that men are men, adrenaline will be pumping etc. But even so, a bit of decorum wouldn't have gone amiss. It did sound forced to me rather than an inadvertent slip of the tongue. But listen - who cares really, let's not get silly here. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9155 - 05/09/2016 16:20:55 1910328 Link
Yeh I originally had no problem with this but since I've watched back it certainly did come across as planned and it that case sounded downright immature. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 05/09/2016 16:37:53 1910332 Link

It wasn't the actual swear word that annoyed me in the interview, it was the manner in which he used it and the manner of his whole interview in general. It didn't seem like a slip of the tongue because if it was accidental I'm sure he would of attempted to apologise or say whoops or something. You could tell last year when Glynn from Galway let something slip he panicked and it definitely seemed like a genuine slip of the tongue. O'Dwyer teammates and manger all gave great interviews and came across really well but O'Dwyer, even taking the swear word out of it, came across as a bit of a so and so. The only thing I can think of is that he must have a lot of haters and had planned to vent his fustration to the whole of Ireland if given the chance but I don't think he went up in any ones estimations as a result of doing so.

Totally agree that it sounded forced which is obviously worse than accidentally blurting it out...not a big deal but just wondered what people thought.. gorby580 (Limerick) - Posts: 165 - 05/09/2016 16:52:42 1910342 Link

Honestly, I'd have been disappointed if a Kilkenny player did that, but then again if we had beaten our biggest rivals in an All Ireland final, from a scale of 1 to 100 it would probably rank 0.01 in my list of concerns. But if he is going to curse, he should at least refrain from calling the country "fking Ireland". ballydalane (Kilkenny)** - Posts: 1246 - 05/09/2016 18:26:07 1910383 Link

What I would say though, if he is going to curse on live television, don't refer to the country as "f*ing Ireland". ballydalane (Kilkenny)** - Posts: 1246 - 05/09/2016 19:53:42 1910404 Link
