@John Buckley: Oh you’re so superior to us all with your inside knowledge. You’re so awesome…..
Except he wasn’t talking about a single person. Why not read his comment and not be in such a rush to appear clever.
@Paul Mc Nulty: he might be a clown like you that thinks Marks Cork City accent is also a country accent. The only bad thing about RTEs interview with them was the jackeen accent asking the questions.
@John Buckley: hahaha yeah Gillick has such a jackeen accent.
They must of pulled like a dog
@Derek hutchings: They’re not the O’Donovan brothers.
@Ciara Baines: just cause thats their saying doesnt mean it cant be used for other rowers…
So one half of the crew pulled like a half dog!!!!
In cork we love to row lets be honest!
Outstanding Irish Victory.
Well done outstanding Irish Victory.
