Fairplay to TG4 for showing the final.
I managed to nip down for about the last 40 minutes of the Mary-LIT game (not the first game, which clearly seems to have been the better one by far) and Cregan was standing a few yards away from me.
It was interesting to listen to him during a game, which was very easy as everybody else was almost completely silent - thatās always noticeable at Fitzgibbon or Sigerson Cup games. He was terribly narky while it was going on despite Mary always being in control after half-time.
He did a strange little impression of Irish dancing to the people he was talking to at half-time, jumping up and down on the spot on the bank and shouting āitās like Irish dancing, aon, do, tri, aon, do triā. I think he was trying to demonstrate some point about movement of players.
Dont forget the artists over in Waterford.
Would it kill you to do a days work Sid?
Thatās true enough, any time Iāve heard him speak on OTB Iāve been mightily impressed. After Davy yesterday and DJ today heās in some company for a 24 year old coach, good on him.
Heās an odd enough fella so not totally surprising behaviour
Sid
Cregan is a grumpy aul man . In fact he was a grumpy young man. He doesnāt suffer fools gladly . It was said once that he couldnāt fathom how not everyone could be as good as he was . He is a little gruff but is not the worst by a long shot .
My father said he was the best Limerick hurler he ever saw . Most of his age group concur .

He was mid 30s before I ever saw him and Iād say he was the best Limerick hurler I ever saw, a real artist, beautiful to watch.
I remember thinking as a teen āJesus, that was strangeā when Loughnane took the opportunity at Clareās victory banquet on The Sunday Game in 1995 to tear into Cregan who was a studio pundit. Cregan was seething.

Loughnaneās rant was an act of epic cuntishess and he should retrospectively be given the 1997 COTY award .
Ya he is learnign quickly going by his interviews. My auld lad did the same, went coaching after his accident. An awful loss to coaching, he really had the eye for it.

And its not even that handy a life anymore (if it ever was), at least from Sep-June anyway.
He had lovely wrists
Strange man really, not in a bad way, he seems like a nice if very intense bloke but away with the fairies.
8/15 Mary I. Sure who have Carlow to speak of? Stephen Maher the full forward?
