Where would you get it?
Everyone knows GAA training is not to be missed and if it is going to be missed you would better have a good reason.
Well over the summer months we have gathered five of the best excuses that have been given for missing the beloved sport sessions sent into us by appalled coaches and team players.
A unique excuse that speaks volumes about the need for preparation in getting your boots and gear ready early in the day. This guy couldn’t go to training because his dad varnished the floor and the poor sap couldn’t go up the stairs to get his gear. A ridiculous excuse that becomes more and more valid every time you read it. Of course you can’t go to training without your gear and of course you can’t walk on a recently varnished floor. Stumped.
This is probably the most morbid excuse we have received for missing training but still, a valid one. Why the guy couldn’t just say he was working we don’t know. This one relays the need for time management in maintaining a healthy work and leisure balance.
3. “Wicked groin strain balls”
Sent to a wrong number this is the most graphic excuse we have come across for ghosting a GAA session but understandable non the less. This one highlights the needs to look after the body in season. Then again pain is unpleasant no matter what time of the year you get it.
4. “I’m at silage”
The importance of silage is truly unfathomable for some people to grasp. As one of the most important things about the summer months this is probably the most excusable of all the excuses featured for missing training. Anyway who wants to train in silage weather anyway…
5. “Cows broke out and took a fancy to the Bull across the way”
Possibly the funniest excuse we have come across on the news desk of training absences. It was kind of the start of a story without a finish. What happened the cow? Where was the Bull? Could this have been a romantic love story to amaze the masses. We will never know.
