Was it minor you won with Cork?
Junior C with Ballinora
He nearly killed me one day down in Ballygarvan

My sources tell me he was involved with county - maybe it was football.
Old school centre forward can be translated to awkward lad that is put there to stop the centre back from hurling
Every team needs a few stoppers

Possibly. But JBM played no.11 like that as well when he was there, and even played a bit like that from the wing.
Far from awkward, But i was a long way from any way exceptional also and played just as much in the backs and in goal. At 17 played centre forward, corner back and in goal on way to an u21 final against Ballincollig. Plugging holes the whole time.
Then dropped for Final when keeper came back having missed semi due to soccer.
Got 6 months in that final for kicking John Dwyer (current Minor coach) when he came over the line at one point. Have no idea why i kicked him, he is sound and completely unconfrontational. It was a wild final, 6 sent off.

You can lecture Waterford all day about discipline, but you have no idea why you kicked a fella? Unreal.

A lot of guys around here pontificate from the pulpit alright
Says the lads screaming to have Tuohy shot
Iāve said it plenty, I donāt want Tuohy shot or suspended or any such like, it was a blessing that he wasnāt suspended as the GAA/CCC hadnāt a leg to stand on when it came to Aussie
Oh, sorry. You want to use what you consider one wrong to clear another to make a right? 
No I donāt consider the act wrong I consider it a stupid fucking rule. Capiche
Thereās a lack of consistency in the Waterford rhetoric.
Luckily, allās well that ends well and thereāll be no player missing the final through suspension. I hope the other Gleeson wins his appeal and both teams have a full deck to choose from and the best team wins.

Galway will fuck Gleeson up good and proper.
I am a coach now. I was a player then. I was poorly treated and obviously frustrated. It was more a wonder to why i choose him, made no sense.
I was very poorly coached at that level. So i learned the hard way. Those lads were clueless. We left a chance of robbing a county from the big town behind us (they had been nominated from Mid-Cork, won county but had to come back to play us and was all on the line). We were a disgrace that day. Hurling never recovered from ot in the club till around now. But while i deserved the ban, the managemebt were to blame for it all.
And both Cork and Waterfords discipline was dreadful for the level and stage of competition. Both managements have questions to abswer on that front. I am not sparing anyone.

Its a reactionary rule that has led to more problems than solutions
Itās a rule - that has led to more reactionary solutions than problems.
It has led to loads of problems.
That makes no sense
If lads would just not grab helmets like the rule says there wouldnāt be any problems.

Sure the Laois lad reckons the ref can determine the force used to pull the helmet and issue a red or yellow card based on this split second analysis of mechanical force used by the offender. By the way this is his opinion 2 days after the incident, the man whoās job it was to adjudicate on the spot didnāt actually see the incident. But thatās all rectified now thankfully
