Just a coincidence Iâm sure
Not that there is much love lost but his clubmate Niall Gilligan seemed to have little or no sympathy for him and Pat and the abuse they keep going on about when interviewed in one of the papers over the weekend
There are many of the same opinion from his home club I believe
Thereâs one thing that puzzles me about this though. If Davy and the father are up to their necks in it, why are the insistent in pursuing the online abuse thing? Surely theyâd be better off letting the whole thing quietly slip away

There are two reasons -
1 it is a smokescreen to deflect away from the mounting other issues they are responsible for and allows them to play the victim card and gain sympathy from the house wives and casual fan and sets the narrative that they get an awful blackguarding.
2 They donât overly care about what is posted online, no more than any other gaa figure. The real anger is at the fact that the Clare Times fella is being fed very accurate information from inside the inner circle and Iâd say it is driving the two of them utter ballistic as they canât seem to stop the leaks either. They want him silenced as he is fairly cracked and isnât going to stop posting about their carry in until they are ran out of Clare GAA. Problem is now that he is being fed information from a heap of sources now and putting it all online

I really hope Sixmilebridge win the championship again this year.
Thatâll drive people absolutely demented.

Whatâs Davyâs problem? Every single gig turns into a drawn out, lets dig trenches, Iâll show them, battle?
Is it ultimately a form of short man syndrome where he just feels he doesnât get the respect he craves/deserves?

Very disappointed there wasnât a boom mic near Romer this year during the Clare v Waterford game unlike last yearâs clash.
Small man syndrome but also a fairly big sense of entitlement. Daddyâs pet from a young age and never wanted for anything so is too used to getting his way. The fellas has never held down a proper job in his life until LIT threw him a token 9-5 role a few years back.
He is a walking contradiction. I have heard so many positive stories about the man and if he has time for you he is extremely generous with his time. Yet the same fella would spend an hour roaring and balling and lowering the blade on lads but then would hold a lifetime grudge against the same lad called him out for it or told him to fuck off.

What did he work at during his playing days then? Ran a pub? County players getting a scholarship to college wasnât as common back then Iâd say? Remember Derek McGrath had the stats on the numbers attending 3rd level after the 2019 All-Ireland semi-finals.
When he was 17 he used drive Mammys car to the bus stop for Flannans and dump it there. He only lived a few hundred yards away.
What does that other snake oil salesman Daly work at?
I think Davy has never got over the bullying and abuse he suffered as a young lad. Freud knew the craic.
Dalo has a pub out west- murty browns. Youâd pass it on way to Kilrush

I was in that about 10 years ago we stopped in on the way to killkee and he was within in it. Not the chattiest. Didnât realise.he still had it.
Hardly makes huge money there, did he marry into that if I heard right
He had a story in his first auto biography about how he used to know that Leo Doyle would be passing through Sixmilebridge on his way to work every morning at a certain time and that he would make it his business to be down there pucking a ball off a wall as he passed every morning to psych him out. He said in the book that he would then hop on his bike and cycle home.
Locals closer to the story would tell you that the pucking the ball off the wall part is true but that mammy or daddy would be sitting in the car waiting for Doyle to pass.
He got into the pub trade after the 95/97 success, to be honest I donât think he done too well out of it. He owns the Belford Inn out towards Newmarket but the mother runs it for him and it wouldnât be a busy spot. Pretty much every place he took over and leased went to pot and he was out after a year.
Daly was in the bank but gave it up to open a sports shop in Ennis iirc
I remember that too, that never went well afaik
