Its called the irish language not gaelic and no, he wasnt speaking either.
It's nice to see IC follow in Fox's footsteps and resort to making up stories when they have nothing useful to report. Cop on!
Whether it was Irish or not, Brady was god awful at points in the game. BTW, Irish is about as difficult as they come. Took, more properly sat, in an Irish class at NUI, Galway as a contract employee. I've taken Latin, French, Spanish, and Russian at times in my life but Irish threw me. Parents never spoke more than a few lines because it wasn't required in those days. If Brady speaks it, is it with a Portuguese-German accent?
Damnú ort! Go hIfreann leat!
Stand corrected fndesign-Pog Ma Thoin !
Cop on means to get common sense. It's irish slang. "Would ya stop hit'n your sister Conor and feck'n cop on."
It was late 4th quarter. All Brady had to do was throw it away and go for a field goal which would have made it a 2 score lead with only a minute or so left on the clock. I can understand O'Brien's frustration. It was "heat of the moment" anger and they both handled it well after the game. It also helped that the Pats won although they did come close to blowing it; saved by an interception of a Washington pass near the goal line on 3rd down with seconds left on the clock. PS; what does "cop on" mean?
Pog Ma Thoin..
He said Pog Ma Hone!
It's Greek to me.
Call it Irish, since that would be the translation of the Irish word gaeilge to English. The more people hear it they will start to know it. Gaelic is the Scottish language. Gaeilge is pronounced, gale-ga.
Cop on?
You say Gaeilge, we (Americans) say Gaelic or Irish Gaelic - it's easier to pronounce. Calling it Irish in the U.S. doesn't work; it's confusing for folk. I had a book on the Irish language on my desk and a lady I worked with was totally clueless. She said, "I thought they spoke English over there!" You don't even want to start with someone like that.
Would Americans cop on already? The language is called IRISH....not Gaelic. Where did this come from anyway?
