you hear all these bullshit storiesâŚI remember hearing once that a certain tyrone defender put his fists up in front of his Dublin opponents face to reveal a digit of the Dubâs girlfriendâs mobile number written on each fingerâŚ
different sport i know but @The Selfish Giant had a great one about Gadaffi Zayed
I can tell you now I have better sources from both sides. And one just has to wonder why there wa a need for a phone call and outside intervention back along. In fairness what I hve been told by a Cork friend of Galvin is that he doesnât think he would ever say such a thing, and can be nasty but would have a limit.
Anyway, the point is mute, my post was on why there was such distaste for him. Weather it was true or not is not really the point (however the unfairness of attack on Galvins character if untrue), it was a way of explaining why the anger at him. I gave one reason why.
As for the competition between them, Iâd say Galvin won overall on points. But NOL definitely win a few battles.
[QUOTE=âmickee321, post: 1102131, member: 367â]yeah look, i heard that too, not sure if posting it up here is worthwhile as its all he said , she said type shit,
i agree that they are said to be decent mates off the park which really puts paid to the silly âbooingâ of the cork support
bottom line is that Galvin has mugged off Cork on many occasions, medals in back pocket, etc⌠cork football would be better served in trying to get a decent HB line together as if he heâll tear them a new one again next august[/QUOTE]
itâs a âquoteâ, or a story should we say, that was around for a long time before Galvin and O Leary were on the field. I personally dont believe it at all, and Iâm nearly sure O Leary rubbished it in an interview some time ago. The fact that it is still used by Cork people as a reason to dislike Galvin says it all. Galvin thrives on that sort of stuff too, loves being the figure of hate and attention and once he learned to control his own aggression and use it positively, he was an excellent player.

Itâs never been rubbished Gman. And they are a long way from friends.
Do people really believe all this rubbish thatâs written in the papers?
They agreed to move on, Iâm sure they both moved on.
NOL never spoke about it, it was a 3rd party who reportedly heard the comment if I remember correctly.

Iâm not sure how you can considering you dont know my source.
but one of the key reasons for hating Galvin is over a comment in all likelihood he never made. That is a point, as if that explains the anger for Galvin, then it is a really dumb reason.
Marty CLarke was on OTB there a while back absolutely singing O learys praise and how he totally destroyed him in the AI final. No doubt O leary won some of his battles with Galvin too.

so people shouldnt believe rubbish in papers, but believe a rumour, reportedly perpetuated from a third party who heard it? And a comment that was doing the rounds for years and plenty of other rumours of it being said in other games which has given it an urban legend type scenario.
I thought O Leary said something about it after he retired.

Good interview that actually, came across very well. Bizarre to think Down were so oblivious to the Noel O Leary plan, its not like it was a completely unbelievable prospect that heâd be told to hunt Clarke around Croke Park.
Interview with O Leary after he retired. Doesnt rubbish the rumour as much as I thought he had, but fair to say, it doesnt sound like a man who had a comment made to him as alledged. âI wouldnt have a bad word said against Paulâ
Part of the reason OâLeary was such a favourite with the Cork support was his long-running battle with Kerry star Paul Galvin, with the two players getting involved in several skirmishes over the years.
âHe texted me after we won the All-Ireland, in fairness,â said OâLeary.
âLook, we had a few clashes over the years but I think in reality a lot of those were blown slightly out of proportion by the media.
âIâd have nothing but respect for Paul as a player and Iâd hope heâd feel the same way about myself.
âYes, we had our battles in various games, those are memories I wonât forget, but I wouldnât have a bad word said against Paul.
âIâd appreciate everything he did and achieved as a player, and hopefully down the road we could meet up and have a few drinks and a chat.â
And a chat about fashion, given Galvinâs well-known interest in cutting-edge clothing? âYou never know, but heâd have a fair job on his hands sorting out my fashion sense.â
a temperamental proud kerryman and a temperamental proud cork man from near the Kerry borderâŚof course they were going to clashâŚand over the most trivial incident⌠the thing I always found odd about galvin was the way he seemed surprised and almost victimised when a lad went to have a cut off himâŚit was like because he wasnât in the mood it wasnât on to have a go off him when he himself had made his name early on antagonising ladsâŚ

Well my sources are from both sides, and there is a clear memo not to talk about it. If it didnât happen then surely it would be rubbished.
Hating any GAA player you donât know - yes dumb
The reasoning if true however I think is legitimate enough. However my take on it is, and this is kinda reading between lines a bit(and taking the word of one person), 2 men showed some real maturity and one with an apology the other with forgiveness and they moved on. Others didnât. Footballers would know shit happens and things are said.
Do you ye not have some crazy dumbass gas supporters in Wexford who roar and shout at opposition like apes? I find it hard to believe ye donât. And considering a Wexford fan was once arrested in front of me for brandishing a knife Iâm pretty sure ye have mad cunts as well with a few screws loose.

but my point is Kev that you are believing this happened, and to me it sounds like it never did. I agree, had it happened, then yes, it is legitimate enough. But I really dont think it did, and whether or not you want to believe my source (who told me of other shit Galvin did actually do, so its not as if he was hiding anything) it looks to me from the outside that it never happened, and it was a viscous rumour that riled up plenty of Cork fans, and obviously still does.
And of course there are dumbass supporters everywhere. I never said anything contradictory to that. All I was saying is I really dont believe a rumour about Galvin, which as you said was the precursor for Cork fans to hate him.
what the hell was the story with yer man with a knife? Thats fucking mental

NOL is a hell of a man Gman. He has a very balanced view of the world. Have you ever moved on from a disagreement with someone. Itâs very satisfying to do so.
No matter what happened, I admire their ability to move on, not what happened in the first place.

1993 league final 2nd replay. Had been plenty bitterness and aggression between certain sections behind the town end over the couple of games. Wexford lads decided to come equipped. I got a bottle over the head (from a throw, not a strike) that day.
Plenty booze involved. It was quite close to all out war at least a few times.
