The only good thing Liam Sheehy ever did was call The Puke an idiot

Who was he over at the time? What team was this?
Can’t remember exactly. Could have been involved with Clonlara for a season, back when The Puke was an idiot.

Can the Puke come on and confirm. If he was with Clonlara he didn’t win with them and all the talent they had and all.
@Appendage can confirm the circumstances around Sheehy calling him an idiot.

Ah yes, so you weren’t able to process my cogent points in your narrow mind so you used something you have heard over and over again to charge me with, the typical Irish begrudgery insinuation.
If you had read my reasoned points properly you would see that towards the end i actually said the way he makes such good use of himself is to be admired. So how am i begrudging him. What i’m doing is questioning if his ability or CV justifies all these junkets he’s getting.
He has won how many All-Irelands? One at senior, someone said one at minor, and i assume he has one as a player? So let’s say three All-Irelands spread across a lifetime in the GAA with a massive county like Tipp with a tradition of winning All-Irelands. There’s plenty of other men in Tipp with three All-Irelands in their pockets. But let’s go outside of Tipp for arguments sake:
Cork - Jimmy Barry Murphy has done it all, winning All-Irelands as a player and manager. I don’t have the exact firgure to hand but he probably has double and then some the All-Irelands Sheedy has. Donal O’Grady has a few as manager. John Allen has a great CV as a manager. Many more players from Cork have won All-Irelands and All-Stars - the O’Connors, the Rock, Donal Og, Joe Deane.
Limerick - Eamon Cregan two All-Irelands as a player, one as a manager which was with Offaly no less! Why couldn’t they go to Cregan who has actually done something for the county? Joe McKenna two All-Irelands and All-stars and a former Offaly man.
Clare - Loughnane, Daly, Lohan, Jamesie O’Connor.
Kilkenny - Probably 50 fellas in Kilkenny with more All-Irelands than Sheedy.
Has Sheedy even got a measly All-Star to his name by the way? My point is there is a multitude of other guys in the GAA world with more credentials and achievements than Sheedy but a head of steam has risen up in front of him and now you have eejits like the county board in Offaly thinking he is some kind of sage who has revolutionized hurling. It’s become popular to hire him to task up or give his input into something now and it’s a cop out by those hiring him because they are rightfully assuming they will avoid any criticism from delegates that every stone wasn’t overturned in the quest to achieve a certain aim. If Offaly has bothered looking around they would find candidates to do this task ten a penny.
On the Sunday game thing, are you happy with his performance as an analyst? In my opinion he blends into the background and you hardly know he is there. For all his supposed expertise he has never bothered opening his mouth to say something insightful or coherent. He is possibly the worst use of an analyst i have seen. Just there to pick up his handy money, phoning it in, saying the bare minimum to keep the gobshites at home watching on their tv sets happy.
Liam Sheedy has no senior All Irelands.
I’m not sure if you’re a WUM or are genuinely as thick are you’re portraying across numerous threads.
I’m sure one of the more savvy posters will know if you’re genuine or not but I haven’t a clue.
I have never changed my avatar either*

Sheedy played for Tipp in the late 80s or early 90s, in a period in which they won two All-Irelands (89 and 91). Is it not reasonable for me to ask if Sheedy won a medal with them as a player? But thanks for looking up wikipedia for the answer you thick bastard.

He only really broke into the team in 96/97. Before that he wasn’t really in contention. 97 AI defeat was essentially the end of him playing Senior really.
Also, giving him all the Credit for Portroe winning a North Title is insulting to his brother in the extreme.

How does one become a brother in the extreme?
It was well documented during his managerial career that he didn’t hold a senior medal.
Jose Mourinho holds a bucket load of league medals as a player too, so he does.

Joe went for the job again allegedly.
Can understand why he might have but he should be grateful to have missed out on it.
Typical al of the thick gaa yokel who thinks what you won as a player matters to management and/or coaching.
