Its patronising, out of date, the last thing any loosing team wants to hear, and certainly annoying to the defeated fans.. Its had its day, now please stop it. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/09/2016 12:52:05 1910204 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Its patronising, out of date, the last thing any loosing team wants to hear, and certainly annoying to the defeated fans.. Its had its day, now please stop it." Fully agree with you, but we have had threads started on here in the last year because the winning captain omitted the 3 cheers, so no matter what happens somebody will manage to take offence over it.

Totally agree. It's totally outdated. I think it's good to acknowledge defeated opponents but not in that silly anachronistic way. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 05/09/2016 13:03:26 1910210 Link

U actually think it would be a good move for the gaa to ask the winning capt not to give the 3 cheers. Then its off the capt shoulders. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/09/2016 13:15:19 1910219 Link
Did Cluxton do it last year (or in 2013/2011)? CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 05/09/2016 14:17:20 1910243 Link
Being hip hipped after losing an All-Ireland is like another kick into the nads minutes after receiving one already! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8584 - 05/09/2016 14:40:22 1910259 Link
Replying To CroiGorm: "Did Cluxton do it last year (or in 2013/2011)?" He didn't say it in 2013 afaik. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 05/09/2016 14:43:31 1910265 Link
Captains should think of something 'hip' and 'cool' to say when comiserating with the opposition to cheer them up. Maybe a collective manhug, a selfy and then they can tweet it to the masses. God help us, when there aren't enough issues in the GAA, now it's not cool enough. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7324 - 05/09/2016 15:00:00 1910276 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Its patronising, out of date, the last thing any loosing team wants to hear, and certainly annoying to the defeated fans.. Its had its day, now please stop it." Three cheer's for for royaldunne....hip hip.... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11225 - 05/09/2016 15:26:42 1910291 Link
Replying To Gleebo: "He didn't say it in 2013 afaik." Don't think he did it last year either. Not all captains do but i do agree it needs to go. Makes me cringe. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 05/09/2016 15:31:58 1910297 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Its patronising, out of date, the last thing any loosing team wants to hear, and certainly annoying to the defeated fans.. Its had its day, now please stop it." Totally agree - I've given (very few) winning captain speeches but never do the three cheers. Always commiserate with losing team and ask for round of applause. That's more than enough.

It's a bit of a pointless gesture alright, but we're only fans and it isn't directed at us. Strange that the people you'd expect to hate it most- the players, still keep it up. Cork heard it as losers after the Munster and the All Ireland finals in 2013, but Pa Cronin still gave the three cheers for Limerick in 2014. Same with Kerry, Donegal, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Mayo etc. They've all lost various provincial and All Ireland finals in the last few years, but still produce the 3 cheers when they win them too.

Replying To royaldunne: "Its patronising, out of date, the last thing any loosing team wants to hear, and certainly annoying to the defeated fans.. Its had its day, now please stop it." Here here, it's absolutely pathetic, in fairness I thought Brendan Mahers speech yesterday was brutal, time to do away with the whole charade, should just present them with medals and then the cup, and let them off.

If the winning captain is to make a speech he should reference the losing side. My question is why have a speech at all? Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 06/09/2016 17:22:08 1910865 Link
If you don't like the speech you can just leave the grounds/change the channel. I don't see why it's such a concern to some people. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1642 - 06/09/2016 18:09:14 1910892 Link
Replying To liner: "Don't think losing teams like it either." Oh wow,a typo on my behalf. Actually if we want to be grammatically correct its actually defeated. All hail those of us who do not make the odd typo. Apologies royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 08/09/2016 08:45:52 1911609 Link
