WATCH: Everybody who’s played GAA has had to make this call the morning of a big match (NSFW)

Colm Boohig

“Call the f*ckin’ guards, then!”

If you’ve ever played sport in Ireland then you’ll very much be able to relate to this scenario.

It’s the morning of the big GAA match, and the team finds itself down to the bare bones of 15 players for the crucial encounter. That is until you receive that nightmare call from your goalkeeper, who has had to pull out at the eleventh hour.

Disaster.

When nobody else is available, only one option remains; the last man in the whole parish.

Irish comedy group Fupin Eejits have put this sketch together, and it absolutely nails the desperation required to call upon this man when all else fails… only for him to become the unlikeliest of heroes.

This is brilliant viewing, containing one of the best one-liners we’ve heard in quite some time.

By the way, if you’re watching this somewhere you shouldn’t be then we’d advise the use of earphones, as there’s colourful language used throughout.
