I can’t see how Gillick has any complaints having seen that footage. Still, I’m confident enough that I was correct in calling the American a cunt.
Unreal interview with Gillick on the radio when I got into the car coming back from Mullingar. Heart wrenching stuff. He seems an awful alright sort.
I’m with Gillick
There was a gap there and the american fuck leaned across Gillick as he was trying to go by.
Having said that a bit naieve as going down the inside is never a good option on the final straight
There definitely was a gap, the american ran very high in his lane to make it hard for Gillick to go the long was around and he was entitled to go on his inside, the american is a cunt…
Ineterview was very good, hopfully Gillick kicks on and hammers the cunts outdoors. He is a big strong hoor, would have made a good wing back forthe dubs…
Yeah I thought the American lad was drifting wide alright (to make his block). It was a gamble to go down the inside, it didn’t pay off but he wasn’t going to get a medal by checking his stride and running wide so he may as well have had a go.
Heard that interview today, speaks well in fairness.
HEard his interview this morning, fairly emotional stuff. David’s an alright sort
Eamonn Coughlan was talking about on Sport at 7 and made some interesting points
Said that Gillick’s prep wasn’t enough- basically despite being fit enough he wasn’t race sharp enough mentally
He questioned his technique on the boards, trying to pass on the bends instead of getting the whiplash off the bend and passing on the straight. Also said you should never try passing on the inside. Having said all that he was very positive about Gillick, emphasised his ability to beat all the lads ahead of him and that the outdoor season coming around the corner.
Hope Gillick is strong enough to recover mentally
