THE SPORTING SUCCESS of the weekend has undoubtedly been Skibbereen man Paul O’Donovan winning gold at the World Rowing Championships yesterday.
He’s well known for his “pull like a dog” phrase in an interview with RTÉ Sport straight after his semi-final at the Olympics – and yesterday he was at it again.
Speaking with RTÉ’s Saturday Sport on Radio One, he summed up his World Championship form before the final:
“I was rowing like a bit of a gobshite in the earlier rounds but I managed to sort it out”
Rowing like a bit of a gobshite <3
It caught on right away
As the RTÉ Facebook post went viral, it only made him more endearing:
Got to love him! Rowing like a Gobshite!
While the word gobshite was introduced to a wider audience:
Must add ”gobshite” to my vocabulary!!
