Totally agree. Time to move on from them. Have various players interviewed after but get rid of speeches. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3510 - 13/12/2020 17:36:07 2321980 Link 0 |

I dunno, I lost a county final a few years ago and the three cheers made me feel a million times better. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1734 - 13/12/2020 17:41:14 2321987 Link 1 |

Either do away with them or allow the captains to express themselves a bit more,, they could be wonderful things but this structured memorised politically correct waffle is just pointless.

Congratulations Killing Fields, best team won. Speeches are predictable, we need something different, or make them a black card offence.

Really seemed to bore John horan. Looked like he didn't want to be there. Mfs (Mayo) - Posts: 251 - 13/12/2020 18:02:31 2322012 Link 1 |

Should have said 'People of Limerick we love you' I suppose? Maybe if you were part of the back room team sitting at home today you would appreciate what the speech meant. Turn it off if you have issues. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 13/12/2020 18:03:53 2322014 Link 9 |

Crowd or no crowd it makes no difference tbh,, by the time the captain has thanked his 17th person everyone just wants it to be over

Maybe just speak from the heart and let it flow,, I'm sure being thanked along with loads of other people whose is a moment that will stay with the backroom team members forever but its a pre rehearsed speech,,

Totally agree, get rid of them. Players (and usually the crowd), having to stand around, especially in the cold, listening to a monotonous prewritten speach, eulogising nearly everyone in the county. Much worse, is the losers having to stand there listening to this spiel, when all they want do is get off the pitch and into the dressing room.

Bear in mind, many of the backroom are highly-paid professionals. Well if you extend that logic some farming captain might need to thank the Farm Relief for milking his cows that evening. Should Declan Hannon thank the dentist who fixed his toothache on Thursday (hypothetically speaking, if he had one)? I thought it was good of him to thank the frontline workers, and the players families, after that I feel like Tony Lynch in that episode of Father Ted roaring at Graham Norton to shut up.

there is probably a speech writer as part of the backroom team.

Cant believe someone started a thread whinging about the speech. I was very lucky I wasnt handcuffed to the chair so I went out to the kitchen and put the kettle on...... Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11989 - 13/12/2020 18:56:24 2322049 Link 6 |

If ye all think that's bad wait until ye hear Cluxtons if the dubs overcome mayo. The most uninspiring drivel you'll ever hear. For a teacher he gives a very poor attempt at a speech. Come on Mayo spare us this ordeal please. And yes I will turn it off if the dubs win. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 13/12/2020 18:58:02 2322050 Link 2 |

Just an observation,, its not a huge deal for sure,, but they're just awful,, which I think is a shame because they could potentially be great moments,, even the fella giving the bloody speech sounds bored

Yes you're right, he's totally uninspiring isn't he, do you think he'd give one if he didn't have to? He hates them.

Tbh I'd hate to have to do it. Even the odd wedding speech was a nightmare. I'd guess alot of the lads who had to give one weren't overjoyed about it but it's a tradition at this stage. Was it always the case? Or if not when did it start?
