Independent Irish language consultant, facilitator, and promoter MacDara Ó Conaola brings you a cúpla focail each week and gives the low-down on entertainment as Gaeilge.

An mbeadh ticéad don chluiche le spáráil agat? – Would you have a ticket to spare for the match?

Bhí mé leis an rud céanna a fhiafraí dhíot fhéin – I was going to ask you the same thing

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!

Beidh an chóir leo sa darna leath – they’ll have the wind behind them in the second half

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

Laoch na himeartha – Player of the match

Beidh lá eile ag An bPaorach – they’ll get a chance to win another day

Ní raibh mé chomh sásta i riamh! – I’ve never been this happy!

Buí agus gorm go deo! – Yellow and blue forever!

Lá saoire – a day off (unofficial)

Beidh na beithigh gan bleán i gCondae an Chláir anocht! – There won’t be a cow milked in Clare tonight!
