The Meath manager used to teach Tommy Tiernan at school tommytiernanshow
The 65-year-old said that although he’s eager to lead his Meath side to victory, his competitive streak has decreased as he’s gotten older. Speaking to Tommy on his RTE chat show the Meath manager said: “I think I’ve lost most of my competitiveness at this stage-My competitiveness in that the last 20 years has been to see other people doing well, as distinct from myself” READ MORE: RTE viewers left 'open mouthed' as actress Denise Gough opens up about being homeless and addictionHowever, when Tommy asked Colm if the same applied to beating Dublin, the former Geography teacher did admit that could be a different story.
"So there isn't a burning determination to beat Dublin in the football?" the comedian asked his guest.Tommy and Colm shared a past connection, as the GAA manager once taught Tommy geography in the Navan secondary school where he was principal. The pair spoke about their Meath heritage and what it was like to come from a rural area. "We were looked on as big thick, ignorant effers!" Colm said, but spoke fondly of the "characters" he would encounter in his home county. "A lot of them were people who lived in cottages or worked on farms- and they may not have education beyond their primary schools but to me, a lot of them were the most clever people of all that I met."On Twitter, a fan said: “Don't think I've seen Tommy as happy or enjoy himself on his show as this few moments." Another wrote: “Fantastic chat between Tommy Tiernan & Colm O Rourke his former teacher, who put him out of class once or twice. Great rapport & equally witty. Great to see this side of Colm O Rourke . He comes across as quite serious on Sports programme. Not a bit of it here. He was very funny." "Colm is class , always liked his energy" a third viewer shared, while another praised Colm's honesty: "I like him, I find him honest and I certainly can see in him that he does not like the way the world has become with the snowflake generation."Read more:
