Still had to do the shite training, and was made a go to man when he was 18. He was our only halfforward fit to catch a puck out as well so he spent days when (given what Laois were conceding) having ball rained down on his head with 2 men flaking him.
You make a valid point but in a county like Laois, a lad like him gets too much too soon and was still expected to perform every day and every opponent knew he was the main man and acted accordingly.
You’re too busy getting off your tits over in the UK, and spending your time watching rugby league and Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor. You’d never get time to watch hurling pal.
Not enough fat birds drinking cheap bitter, dropping yokes, and game for a bareback ride with a stranger in the jacks at GAA matches for you pal, I’d say
