Maigh Eo abú! Tá sé sin ar eolas agam. Nuair a bhíonn tú ag féáchaint ar an gcluiche agus ag iarraidh 'C'mon Maigh Eo' or even 'C'mon Dún na nGall', what is the equivalent i nGaeilge? I'm looking for 'shouting at the tv' sort phrases! Although I'm thinking that the Maigh Eo players aren't listening......

Cad chuige a mbeifá ag iarraidh tacaíocht a thabhairt do Mhaigh Eo? :rolleyes: Nach leath-Chonallach anois tú i ndiaidh duit coicís a chaitheamh i nGaoth Dobhair/ Rinn na Feirste?

Isn't abú a northern thing, anyway? (Hedging your bets as usual, a Shaoirse? :twisted: )

I think the Connemara way would be Maigh eo, go deo !, although I've heard the dialect in Mayo is a mixture of Connacht and Ulster forms.

I thought '..... abú' was a nationwide expression, but I generally don't have a clue about such matters so don't trust me! :mrgreen:
