GAA Apologise For Using New ‘Hit Random’ Button On Croke Park Scoreboard

THE GAA have apologised for an error which saw the scoreboard in Croke Park and on RTÉ during live coverage display the wrong points during Tipperary’s win over Kilkenny.

“Why there’s ‘hit random’ option in the first place we don’t know, I think we got it from one of them discount places in China. Anyway, we thought why do the football lads get to be the only ones to innovate and change things up,” defended scoreboard operator Fergal Callan, who had Kilkenny a point short of their actual score of 30.

While some have said such errors can affect on-field play and called on the ‘hit random’ button to be abandoned, others support its occasional use.

“More the competitive battle and the talent playing the sport, the GAA is about grudges, grievances and near psychotic paranoia. This score cock-up has gifted Kilkenny supporters a conspiracy that they were somehow robbed or duped, and we can’t put a price on that,” explained one GAA supporter.

The umpire responsible for failing to award Kilkenny’s legitimate 30th point of the game will be relieved of future duties but is expected to find work counting homeless figures or completed housing units for the Department of Housing.

“Yeah, it was acting up on Saturday ‘n all, showing mad scores so it was,” complained one Dublin hurling fan of his county’s narrow and agonisingly even one-point defeat to Cork.
