Sure this is what it’s all about.
There’s nothing like a celebration photo to capture emotions and make a moment last forever – for better and for worse.
Across every club in each county, winning isn’t just the culmination of all the work, the 6am gym sessions, the bitching about the managers and the figure of 8s. It’s the justification for your whole being as a GAA person – for all the shit you’ve put yourself through.
With a celebration photo, you can show the world why you were doing what you were doing when, from the outside, everybody else thinks you’re clean crazy.
There are certain characters you’ll find in every team celebrating a win.
*Disclaimer: What’s written about these characters is totally fictional – it might well be accurate, but that is purely coincidental.
1. Some people will do anything to hog the front
It doesn’t matter if they have to break their necks to do it.
2. The boy who has it… so he flaunts it
Before the final whistle is ever finished blowing, he has his top off.
He’s the sort of fella who’ll be pictured topless at a festival when it’s pissing down raining.
He didn’t get himself in such good shape to not show it off.
3. They all said we couldn’t f**king do it
Wh0’s laughing now?
4. When you can’t wait to get the hell into the changing rooms
Those men were slagging you on the line last week.
5. The injured lad
Every team has one. You’ll probably invent an award for him to win at the end of the season for going to every training session and filling up water bottles.
6. The one who brought his going-out clothes in his kit bag
7. The one who brought a carry-out in his kit bag
8. The boy who’s over-the-bar but he’s come along for the sesh
Never misses an opportunity.
9. The guy who knows there’s always next year
That performance won’t be good enough to win it again next season.
10. He’s going to pull down someone’s shorts
11. He’s ready for that eejit trying to pull someone’s shorts down again
12. He just loves the club
13. He takes winning as a chance to start hitting boys
14. The sub absolutely pelting out to the pitch so it looks like he played
15. The sub keeper who only hung around for this
16. The boy who thinks he should’ve started
