Have Na Pairsaigh regressed underage?

Not a popular man in west Limerick

7186

I’d say Paddy has never been further west than Rourke’s Cross in his life. And rightly so.

If Paddy had his way, Hannon, Flanagan and Hayes wouldn’t be on the Limerick panel

I thought Paddy got his all star for scoring something like 12 points in a league final. It was a record for a long time.

How come?

We upset the Westies every few years by rounding up a few young fellas at the cross to win County Minor and U21 Football titles. Paddy, a man with no footballing background has managed them to victory. The sheepstealers don’t like that.

In the late noughties, Paddy came out and said no West Limerick players should be on the Limerick hurling panel.

7192

Paddy sounds like a right laugh.

7193

As @balbec states, Paddy doesn’t get out of Kilmallock much.

7194

In the late noughties he was probably right

I can assure you not many back west were too upset

Oddly enough folk for the football enclaves of South Limerick took offence on behalf of west limerick :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

He meant it in a broader sense though. As in, hurlers from the west should never play for Limerick :man_shrugging: Absolutely bizarre thing to come out with.

Even if just inferred for the late noughties, you’d basically be telling the likes of Mark Foley, Donal O’Grady, Wayne McNamara, Timmy Houlihan to fcuk off.

If I recall correctly, Paddy had an issue with the amount of West players on the 2005 Minor Hurling Panel who reached the All Ireland Hurling Final, beaten by a Joe Canning inspired Galway, there was a sizeable West contingent. His comments came early in the year. He looked pretty stupid when 1/3 of the team for the All Ireland Final was made up of West players, Limerick’s best Minor group since 1984.

Of course Paddy had a son on that Minor team, who started at wing back, and obviously his comments on West players at the start of the year were absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with him being concerned about his son’s starting spot. No sir.
