Wonder what Dublin sponsors think of them refusing to speak on camera and the loss of air time

2205

These pre match and post match GAA interviews are a load of shite anyway, 99% of the time.

Jim Gavin and co before the game - “we’ve prepared well, it’s just about sticking to our process and making sure our system holds up. Westmeath/insert team here will make it difficult for us, they’ve a lot of good players and we’re expecting another tough game.”

Jim Gavin and co after another trouncing of Westmeath/insert team here - “obviously we’re very happy, despite the 31 point difference on the scoreboard I don’t think that’s a true reflection of the difference between the teams. It was nip and tuck for the first ten minutes before we settled down and got a few scores on the board. We stuck to our process and we’re happy with how it went. We’ve another tough game in three weeks time and we’ve no doubt Kildare/insert team here will provide a stern challenge. We may have beaten them by 25 points in our last meeting but they had a great win in their last game two weeks ago so it should be another tough match and we’re looking forward to it.”

Where’s the motivation to be the likes of a Westmeath or longford or Wicklow footballer…train all year and as far as they’ll get is a trimming off Dublin in Croke Park

id say getting paid by the state to do your hobby is the main one

2218

2220

Not about you .

2221

Ok

In most hobbies, you pay to join a club, these guys get paid to join their teams.

No ideas about the amounts but their are lots of other benefits too such as having middling fitness levels

2223

You are being very charitable to Westmeath
