I have no idea what Michael Duignan said on twitter but if figuratively he made a swipe at Donal Og he was well within his rights. Donal Og quite clearly aimed his "regressive voices in the media from former Offaly players" comment principally at Duignan. In itself it was a low blow by Donal Og on a county that is down. Duignan has a preference for traditional hurling in the Kilkenny style (ie without sweepers). There is nothing wrong with that. But Donal Og's implication that former hurlers with traditional leanings have been holding back the county and have contributed to its present lowly status is such a arrant nonsense that it deserves to be exposed. If Duignan had a go at him on that more power to him.

Don't talk about the footballers! Donal Og has a very good reason for not turning the spotlight on Cork's recent failure at hurling. He was involved in the last strike which was nothing more than a mean-spirited attempt to get rid of Gerald McCarthy as manager. I don't believe people outside the county know just how much damage that particular strike did to Cork GAA. It poisoned the whole atmosphere in Cork GAA circles. It not only turned supporters against each other; it did the same for members of some families. It dd with mine.I will allow here that Cusack says in his book that himself and Gardiner were against the strike, that it was carried by the younger members of the panel, but he created the conditions for it to grow. Sincerely I hope that he never has anything to do with Cork GAA again. Midleton (Cork) - Posts: 643 - 17/03/2019 15:49:28 2173076 Link 1 |
