“I think that Footballer in Flames tee shirt sums up Kerry at the minute, in the eyes of our detractors anyway. Everyone says that with Tadgh, Tommy and David away to Oz and Dara likely to call it quits, that our Championship prospects have gone up in smoke. . . I don’t agree. Yerra, we’ll see.”

“I’m only interested in Peile – fellas that want to play football for Tyrone. And that’s a good place to be, to be the best you can be. What more could a man ask for, other than one of them Peile tee-shirts (and maybe some of the Tyrone Club and County range) and another crack at Cork.”

“I played Puc Man when I was younger down in the Village arcade. So that Puc Man appeals to me. The only thing is we play at a different level from everyone else if you believe the pundits, its goes up to level 255 and that’s where I am! I love it, I just throw the ball in and tell the lads to hurl away.”

“I’ll not be having one of them Hurl Wars tee-shirts anyway. There’s no trouble in Clare hurling. There will be Hurl Wars alright though if I have to take the boys back to Crusheen. . . it’ll be like something out of the Return of the Jedi.”
Justin McCarthy
The Return of the Stikh. . . is Justin unfortunate or does trouble follow him everywhere he goes. “Limerick is totally different to Waterford. . .” Well, Justin, to lose one County squad is unfortunate, to lose two unforgiveable. Defo Hurl Wars for Justin.

“It’ll be hard to get used to alright now in the new season. But sure look, f*** it fellas just have to get on with it. I’ve overcome things before and I’ll do it again. It might be hard to get used to and now everyone’s come out and is talking about it. Maybe we should get folks to wear a tee shirt to encourage more debate.” What Donal Og might say about our exclusive Play Safe Wear Protection tee shirt. [ED: From January 2010 all players including goalkeepers must wear a helmet during matches, including Donal Og. . . Right. what else did you think we were talking about?
Tommy Walsh (hurler)
“There’s no better feeling than rising and catching the sliotar above your opponent. It’s fist and ball for me every time.”
Nicholas Murphy
“I suppose it has to be Hospital Pass. He hit me real good and I suppose that set out a marker. There’s nothing like a good hit early on the game. . .”.
Jarlath Burns
“My favourite tee shirt would be the GAA 125. I still regret the fact we couldn’t get all those youngsters on to the pitch at Croke Park to mark the 125 but I’ll always have fond memories when I slip on my 125 tee shirt.”

‘No need to bother with one of those Puc Me tee shirts – fact is some of our club players will puc anyone comes anywhere near them.”
