We lost that one in translation, Marty

What with our growing richness, desire for new experiences and belated realisation that we’re being royally screwed by every greasy till-fumbler in the country, holidays abroad have never been more popular with GAA fans. Sun, sea, sangría and fat English yobs with the cross of St George tattooed on their capacious bellies: what could be finer?
You can also, in most places, now watch all the Gaelic games action as it is broadcast on satellite TV. But what if – for some strange and, now that I think of it, not very likely reason – the commentary is in a foreign tongue? Or if you don’t want to break the exotic idyll by hollering abuse at the screen in boring old English? Well, now you don’t have to. Simply remember these key phrases, in a variety of commonly used European languages, and make that summer break even more special…
