John Small would be well advised to come out and do an Off the Ball style interview and express some remorse for McLaughlin’s injury. Get some positive PR out there.
Interesting there’s barely been a murmur from a Dublin player since Saturday night. You’d expect a few tweets or Instagram posts congratulating Mayo and saying ‘we’ll be back’ etc. but bar Philly McMahon, there’s been nothing.
Mcconville was on the money with everything he said except that bit. Not sure did he mean in a moral sense or the rule book? Either way not sure I agree with him. He made a cunt of Flynn in general though. Nice use of the word dung too. Flynn is a bit of a himbo I’d say
John Small is now assured of Jimmy Keaveney/Kieran Duff/Keith Barr/Dermo Connolly style messiah status on Hill 16 and that will be demonstrated when full crowds return to Croke Park in 2024.
Flynner quite rightly defended John Small. John is very mentally tough but even for somebody as tough as him it must be quite unsettling to be vilified in the way he has been.
Inter county football is war minus the shots. And Dublin took that to a new level on Saturday, refusing to shoot for the last 15 minutes of normal time plus the entirety of extra time.
