Sky Sports News reporter tries to speak Irish and totally fecks it up

We get it. Speaking Irish can be a tad difficult (and this is coming from someone who went to the Gaeltacht for three years).

Some words don't even look like words and trying to pronounce it can turn out very, very bad.

And unfortunately, that's what happened to a poor Sky Sports News reporter last night.

While reporting on Shay Given announcing his retirement (again), he read Shay's statement live on air, but when it came to the end… things didn't go to plan.

Instead of saying, "Go raibh maith agat," he said something along the lines of, "Go…rabbith…meht…"

Awkward! Maybe we should stick him down in Árainn Mhór for a couple of weeks.
