An-imirt go deo! – Great play altogether!

Coinnigh leis/léi! – Keep/stick with him/her!

Á, muise Dia dhá réiteach! – Aw for flip’s sake!

Nár laga Dia thú! – Fair play to you!

An-phointe! – Great point!

An-ghól! – Great goal!

Nach iontach a stop sé í! – great block/save (isn’t it great how he stopped it)!

Ní raibh maith de thada leo inniu – they were no good today

Níl mé in ann breathnú! – I can’t watch!

Níl ingne ar bith fágtha agam! – I’ve no nails left!

Séid an diabhal d’fheadóig a réiteoir! – Blow the feckin’ whistle ref!

Bhíodar thar cionn inniu – they were fantastic today
