This Sky Sports News presenter tried to read some Irish on air and it did not go well

‘I can’t read that’.

YESTERDAY, LEGENDARY IRISH goalkeeper Shay Given announced his retirement from international football (for the second time).

When Sky Sports came to read out the Donegal man’s statement though, it proved increasingly difficult broadcast.

Irish ain’t easy.

The clip was sent in to Paddy Power by Twitter user Adrian McGeown when it happened last night.

“GO… rabbith… meth”

“That’s in Gaelic at the end there, apologies – I can’t read that out.”

Fair play to him though – he gave it a shot.

Two weeks in the Gaeltacht and he’d be nailing every line.

    I watched pull like a dog on rte last night and the black haired chap Said he hated looking back at the race because he believes they could/should have won. He has the attitude of a winner and long may it last.

    42, What’s with the ‘and er, Frank Skinner’ ? as if he is not worthy to be on the show.
    He is a comedy legend, writer and TV presenter of some note, with strong sporting connections and had his own Sat night chat show at one stage.
