We've seen threads on HS in the past where amusing anecdotes from various games have been discussed, in particular with regard to supporters offering their opinions loudly at the unfolding action.

Yesterday I heard some truly cringeworthy stuff though and from Donegal supporters at that. One in particular stood out after McQuillan missed Karl Lacey being caught with a late high tackle.

"Ref you should check your voicemail. Because you've missed a few calls!"

Any other beauts?

At least it was a nice way of criticising the ref's decisions.

I heard a Cavan supporter in the Hogan behind me, in 2013 before they played Kerry, ask his mates "What way does the wind blow" just before kickoff. "Every way"!!! was his mate's lighthning-witted response. Beautiful !

Was at a club game once. Some lad says 'that's a great score! Why isn't he getting a look in with the county'. Another lad turns around to him and says 'aye he's god at kicking points but he's just as good at drinking them aswell'

A club football match in the Bogies a number of years ago and the young MesAmis was throwing himself around a bit too much for the liking of some in attendance.

In anyways a disagreement was had and I was knocked over the sideline into a group of onlookers. I didn't exactly catch everything said but defo heard someone remark "there's plenty of space in the boot of the Civic for you buddy if you don't cop onto yourself!"

Minor match,player waiting for the referee whistle to strike a free. Supporter "ref will you hurry on or he'll be over age"

At the 1982 U21 final, I overheard two men discussing Offaly denying Kerry the 5 in a row over a month previously. One had seen the video seven times already and enjoyed the outcome more with each viewing.

'Tell me', asked his friend, 'did Seamus Darby push your man in the back?'

'No, he didn't. And even if he did, it wasn't a free.'

A bit harsh calling fans stupid or did you mean fans stupid comments?

My dad was at a championship match in Navan in 2005 Laois v Meath. Laois winning and a Meath supporter shouts out "show him your medals" to one of the Meath players . Laois won in the end after two late Munnelly goals.

Ex meath manager Sean Boylan was by trade a herbalist.
He often remarks that one time his team were beating the dubs, and someone in a working class dublin accent behind him shouted "Go back to Meath ya bleedin witch doctor".
