I noticed today that I always hear gheobhaidh pronounced as YO-EE where as muintir Iorrais pronounce it YUFF-EE.The Negative (ní bhfaighidh) is pronounced Ní WEE-HEE.Is this common place anyehere else?

Looks like they've put an -f- there by analogy with the other verbs, they say "gheobhfaidh" and "ní bhfuighfidh".

In Ulster, people say yo-ee and wee (bhfuighidh).
