@Big_Dan_Campbell

don’t for one second believe that Mick Fennelly uttered those words

Hes a lecturer in sport science of some form is he not? Wouldn’t be that surprising if he used the jargon.

Good article. Absolute madness crippling yourself like that. Big toll to be paid yet you’d think

[corner_back]

Jaysus. Never knew about the rheumatoid arthritis. The fact that he was in an injection every fortnight would point to a severe enough form of it. Some man to reach the level he did considering that condition

[KinvarasPassion]

A massive hurler, broke our hearts too often. Some beast.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Id say 95% of those issues are in his head

“I was having problems even walking. When your back comes at you with that severity you actually cannot do anything. You get a fright. Where is this going to stop? You go to specialists and they don’t know what’s going on either. In the space of a month and a half I lost about 10kgs in weight [a stone and a half]. Mentally and physically I was in a really catabolic state

I don’t for one second believe that Mick Fennelly uttered those words

I bet he did

The older Fennelly is finished. Even if he does come back he won’t be fit and I don’t see Cody trying to fit him in unless he’s 100 %.

4 years ago this fella was supposed to be finished. Most lads would be considering his condition even back then. Then, big Mick is not like most other fellas. A collusus, a giant.

[anon70480284]

He’s a stallion maaaan

[caoimhaoin]

He could improve drastically yet and be very healthy.

Dreadful management

[anon70480284]

Isn’t Cody related to the Fennellys somehow?

[Raylan]

More than likely, you know yourself what them GGA lads are like

[anon7035031]

Not if he has rheumatoid arthritis, unless it was a wrong diagnosis.

[Fitzy]

That artritis gets everywhere

[anon70480284]

Gary Sice gone

[anon70480284]

Conal Keaney apparantly our of retirement and has rejoined the Dublin hurling panel

Brian Gavin retires from inter-county refereeing

[Bandage]

I didn’t realise he was only 40 - he looks a bit older than that. I know a TFK member who had a ( typically cushy for a COUNTY MAN) sales rep job back in the day and he would regularly call into Gavin’s place of employment to try to form bonds and influence future refereeing calls. Despicable stuff. Gavin comes across as a very very nice fella.

[dodgy_keeper]

Decent ref to be fair. He looks a good bit older than 40. Always carried a bit of timber but it never noticeably affected him.

[Appendage]

A top top is Brian Gavin.

[Vilbox]

Great. I look forward to seeing him being severely hacked down and badly maimed this season. Plenty out there were disappointed he scoured out so sneakily on the sly, now that the stupid cunt announced his return he’s sealed his fate. I’ll never forget the day he deliberately stamped on young Cian Lynch’s back about 3 or 4 years ago. He’s going to be viciously fucked up by someone this season, praise the Lord he’s back.

[Vilbox]

The most corrupt official in the history of the gaa. A dirty dying bastard.
