The national sport…
…is waving at TV cameras. And the RTÉ report from yesterday’s Tipperary v Galway match features a world class display from several individuals, and clearly confirms our place as the world leaders at edging into shot.
As ever, most of the wavers are kids (including an impressive nipple-rubbing display at the very end), but there is the all-important quota of middle-aged men getting a slice of the action so they can get a cheer in the pub later in the evening.
Watch it (from exactly 2 minutes in) here.
Feel your national pride swell.

Comment by emordino | April 21, 2008 at 1:22 pmShane - waving at the cameras in the background is as important to the game as invading the pitch afterwards, punching your opponents in the face repeatedly and then asking your manager to denounce any responsibility for the ‘incident’…I’ll have you know. It’s a ‘tradition’.
Comment by 73man | April 21, 2008 at 2:39 pmShane, will you do something about that Lynx ad? Don’t pretend you haven’t got the influence.
Comment by Brock Landers | April 21, 2008 at 3:05 pmThe decision to watch or not watch is gonna be hugely influenced by whether that nipple rub is male or female? Or female on female? That’s the stuff the GAA is made of!
Comment by Kid | April 22, 2008 at 8:14 amPlease clarify.
God yes … poor Ger Loughnane Gaeilgeoiring himself hoarse trying to be heard over those kids. Don’t know how he kept himself from lashing out.
Love how he referred to the league as “an comortas ceart.”
Up Tipp!
Comment by Eimear | April 22, 2008 at 3:53 pmI used to do that as a hobby. Edged into several news reports on Massachusettes news stations in 1997. On one occassion I was drinking whiskey from a bottle in a brown paper bag. Edged in behind Adi Roach when she visited UCD for the presidential campaign and used to get into shot regularly in town news reports.
