Right after Bono kicks the beachball, he says something as he walks towards The Edge.. and i have no idea what he´s saying. i might type it something like "thawasabichiaeiawasn'--thawasabitchieiaea." could someone help me before i go any further with my stupidities?

he says:

"a bit GAA wasn't it? a bit GAA."

a reference to the gaelic athletic association (GAA) and gaelic football, i believe......

oooooooh I see. well that does make more sense than my version......thanks..

Yes he says that because in GAA football you typically have to kick the ball over a high bar to score a point. Therefore the fact that he sent the ball flying up into the sky made it "a bit GAA" rather than "a bit soccer" for example

Unless you're part of the English football team taking a penalty...

[VertigoGal]

I always thought it was either

That was a bit chee-ay

or

That was a bitchy, eh?
