    I heard Sean Bán saying something in reference to a footballer that sounded really like 'Grúite'. He just said 'tá sé grúite' and I can't find the meaning of it.. I've looked up both 'gnúigh/gnúite' and grúigh/grúite'.

    The closest I got was 'crúite', but it was definitely a 'Gr' sound..
    Would cr at start of a word ever be pronounced with a gr sound in Conamara or does this word mean something else?

    You heard right, pog it. It stems from "gnóthaigh" , to win or achieve.

    I heard a word used today on Tg4, thought it was like grúite, but in the context I think he meant 'fired up'?

    Or maybe I'm mixing up words here!
