    My favourite quotes from him when he was commentating:
    “The stopwatch has stopped. It’s up to God and the referee now. The referee is Pat Horan. God is God”
    “Teddy McCarthy passes to Mick McCarthy, no relation. Mick McCarthy back to Teddy McCarthy. Still no relation”
    This man is an Irish treasure

    Plenty of ham that is boiled at home.
    Cupla tomato
    Lettuce ( grown locally)
    Combine ingredients, and divide into two equal halves and make sure there is plenty of green to be seen. Enjoy

    This is one of the best things I have ever watched in my life, it makes me so happy. There's nothing not to love about this. The Gaelic, the happy-go-lucky 'take whatever spread you first lay eyes on in the fridge', contrasted with the careful football tactics actually used to spread it; the rejection of "the modern triangular cut"; cutting one cherry tomato in half and then slicing one-sixth out of one half for no reason; arranging the lettuce leaves to remind himself of a boyhood spent in the lush and verdant Irish countryside; the gentle affableness of it all - a man truly in love with his country, simplicity and the goodness of the earth; all of those peaceful qualities somehow radiating in the act of making a fucking sandwich.
    I'd die for him and his happiness, I know I would. And I'm Welsh. What a legend.

      Most of the bread eating cultures have circular or oval shaped bread, not square or triangle. If you see a slice of baguette, it’s an oval form. If you look at German bread, it’s circular. Hungarian bread: circular. Flatbreads from around the world: circular.

    Every so often I remember this and have to watch it again and be completely transfixed. The way he says wholemeal like it's got a space in it... whole meal, the references to a football field as a metaphor for the sandwich, the random bits of irish just thrown in for spice, the absolutely shocking way he slices the tomatoes, the bit at the end where he suddenly just gets weirdly specific and vaguely concerning about bread slicing orientation (something about "bread was never meant to be triangular" really just.... worries me), his hope that the tradition of "ham salad sandwich" will live on forever. I think this is top 10 "really normal videos that come off as absolutely STRANGE to the wrong audience"

    • @notbrendon

      Bhí sé ag cáint as Gaeilge. 'Cúpla ceann' in Irish literally translates as 'A couple of heads' but we use the word 'ceann' quite liberally and in lots of idiomatic contexts. So really all he was saying was 'A couple of them'.
