Im not sure why you left out the second part of my quote. Had Donal Og not reacted like he did, there would be far less being made of it.

I wasn’t really discussing Donal Og
While I’m sure he’ll regret bringing medals into it he’s correct to counter the silly argument that train bookings etc affect an elite sports team
Train tickets can be returned

Point being, its being made more of it because of him. As per my first post on it, had he just simply said no, its not an issue Joe, BOC would make sure of that and the players know not to be presumptuous, then there would be no RTE clips of it and all the chatter.

No major surprises in the all star nominations. Limerick and Galway lead the way with 13 and 11. Offally get recognition for getting out of leinster with 2 for cahill and conneelly. Kilkenny get a mere 1, while last year’s all Ireland champions won’t need to be hiring any suits for the big banquet.
Rabbitte looks nailed on for YHOY, while hegarty looks likely to take the big one. Although byrnes and Brian hayes both had powerful year’s, the man for the big day should take the main prize.
WOD was as dominant a 6 as there has ever been this year and a huge part of limericks success.
He’s been robbed of a few all stars at 8 over the years - he should be locked in this season at 6.

Some cork camogie player picking her all star team on otb. Roy keane would have done a better job!
Jason Barrett* at 14, mark Coleman before kyle Hayes, bull o brien ahead of aiden o Connor or casey. HOTY nominee Brian Hayes a surprise selection.

Nothing screams Tipp more than having 0 (zero) nominations the year after winning the bloody thing.
It’s almost admirable in a way
