Lol true but he deserved that award today.

Was just thinking the same thing! What’s the hurtful stuff that’s been written? It’s sport like… If they barely put westmeath away, Of course they’ll be criticised! Great performance today all the same.

Kerry have won 4 All Irelands but also lost 4.
Now tell me if losing an All Ireland is hurtful or not (and Mayo know about those as well)

Well said popcorn. But haters are just going to hate. No point trying to reason with some of the posters on this thread.

Paul Galvin gets the respect he deserves. Hes a talented footballer but he is one of the filthiest players ever to play football. There are numerous incidents every year. That’s why people can’t stand him!

well said.

Yeah well said the lad is a out and out footballer. Who cares what else he does. He always gives it all for the Kerry jersey. The begrudgery here is breath taking!

At last somebody with a proper opinion!! Fair play to ya theres too many haters on here

A bit self righteous there jock. Wouldn’t expect that from a Kerry man…and by the way you lost last september so get over it!

You should read his post again he said he was a dub.

I saw that emmet. I’m implying that I find it hard to believe a dub would say that!

Edit: if I could remove that comment I would. Not relevant to the thread and I’ve had too much to drink already.

No need to feel bad Micky. Your hearts in the right place. I’m sure they would agree.

So are Kerry

You can only beat what is in front of you…

Every year same thing, unless Kerry hammer everyone, they are considered finished, then what a surprise, they get it together late July, early August… Doesn’t anyone see the pattern – Kerry aim to be at their best in September, not May, not June.

No Andrew, the dirt is still there for all to see,

Win an All Ireland in Hurling and play a bit of Football instead of being bad “one trick ponies”, and then make comments about Kerry Mr. waterford

I think the fact you’re from Waterford says enough about you

Waterford wanna be s again! Up the Rebels!!!!!

Can’t understand how so many Waterford people support Kerry and Kilkenny.

eh..hard to beat?? they were beaten..

@michael, read it again, hard to beat AFTER that performance.

anyone who wears badly fitting novelty tshirts should be shot

I usually hate text speak but LMFAO is quite apt here!!!!

He’s a model…a small imitation of the real thing

Mr Galvin is the type of man who threatens most Irish men because he is in touch with his sexuality and spirituality. Judging by he comments here I’d say there are a large number of Irish males who are homophobic AND have turned their back on he church. The reality is that men like Galvin are probably shagging your wives while you’re at he pub drinking.

Cry-baby!!

Jesus man! What a crap actor. He definitely should attend drama classes, along with elocution lessons. That’s the worst effort of forced crying I think I’ve ever seen.

You are the epitome of why Kerry is the one county in Ireland whose fans I can’t even converse with. You beat a re building inexperienced piss poor team in your own backyard in the back door qualifiers and suddenly you’re the best thing since the slice pan. You also somehow feel the need to remind us all of your history! Deal in the present, if it’s not too embarrassing!

Diarmuid, I’d advise you to shut up and stop talking out your arse. You obviously know nothing about football and it’ll be harder for you to take your medicine in September when Kerry win. Stop getting so worked up and go off to watch some golf or something.

Why would I talk about football with an anonymus avatar from Waterford of all places? Ha, you crack me up!

Wrong county … Langers are from Cork

no. he is right. just only cork people can say it ya langer

Oh shut up, is there anything as bad as listening to a poor, jealous, obnoxious neighbour. As you`d say yourself “gwan” back to your “republic” or whatever you call that cess pit over the border :-)

Out and out begrudgery! Irish people are afraid of anyone that doesn’t follow the crowd…pathetic really!

Bet you said the same thing last year

One hit wonders. Still suffering the hang over from coppers last Sept. having said that as a rebel I would rather see Dublin win the the so called Kingdom! Up the Rebels!!!

Jasus. I was just thinking that myself.

Do you fancy him?

“full of idiots from Cork”….go back to bed

the same ‘choke park’ that kerry have lost to tyrone in their last 3 outings there?? not to mention last years final performance!

My Galvin comments? Surprisingly considering the title of the article Galvin was rarely mentioned.
What Galvin comment did you find foolish? The one where I said that his disciplinary record was not up for debate or the comment on him being emotional after the match.
Both seemed fairly innocuous to me

Answer what question? In depth? You have never asked me to answer any question in depth, you are using that phrase in the wrong context completely!
If you were referring to the question about why Galvin was emotional then I already have.
In depth? You give an in- depth answer to a question, you cant ask a question ‘in-depth’

Oh good man, just like I suspected, you now are correcting grammar, I am the child am I? You really are an arrogant boy aren’t you?

Hilarious how you call someone an arrogant boy without even a slight hint of the irony of such a statement.
As I said you seem unable to make a coherent point and all you have done is showcase this and you’re dislike for Kerry.

I won’t correct your grammar there as I feel you are an intelligent individual, with some misgivings granted, and wouldn’t make such a mistake without trying to entice me to enact such a self righteous correction like you did! It’s not in my nature to be so petulant as to go around threads correcting peoples grammar when my argument is found out!

You found out my argument? Go on enlighten me.
Grammar correction? Well you cant really be sanctimonious about correcting grammar mistakes while mentioning them as that dilutes your intention.

Boys simmer down, have a cup of tea.

Two division 2 teams? Are you talking about the soccer league or something as last time I checked Kerry weren’t in any second division. Might want to tell the bookmakers too who have them as joint favourites for the All Ireland.

Your some waste of sperm, how do you actually get dressed in the morning without hitting yourself! What a spa

Jealousy will get you no where.

Shouldn’t have a man sent off??? R u Blind? That kind of attack cannot be tolerated in any game and he got what he deserved. Keeping him in the game would have sent the wrong message.

Bitterness is an ugly trait. Its only a game. And I’m not an animal. nn

And what in the name of God would I be bitter over with a Kerry man? The accent? The tourism revenue? Or perhaps (most likely) just I’m from a neighbouring county and sick of the sound of the bulls**t coming from Kerry ever since I was born. From Healy Rae to Galvin, Dara O Se to Daithi O Se, the lot of ye are spoofers that talk such mountains of manure, it’s just hard to stomach some times. And take no notice of the animal references. That’s what we call ye in PROC with years, not a personal dig or anything.

When it comes to the football team how are they spoofers? A team in transition no doubt as they were last year still made a final. Keep your bitterness and begrudgery and grow up.

Listen Emmet when you go to as many games between Cork and Kerry as a Cork fan as I do, come back to me and tell me I am the bitter one! I hold no bitterness or begrudgery towards Kerry, why would I? I just feel ashamed for them, that’s it, change the bitterness record!

Diarmuid relax boy how many football all Ireland’s do your county have

Diarmuid, this why we usually stuff ye on the big days, ye’re all a little bit sensitive and easy to wind up. Always took the ‘animals’ tag as a compliment anyway. thinking ye’re great (PROC…. pffff) isn’t enough, especially in the wide open spaces of Croke Park. Ye keep talking, we’ll keep walking…

That’s more like it lads. Was waiting for ye anxiously! As I say quite regularly to Kilkenny fans or any other one trick pony county, we like to focus on overall GAA and sporting achievement. Granted we don’t have anywhere near the amount of football all irelands as Kerry do, but we are THE most successful GAA county, that is a simple fact! Donnacha, Kerry have beaten us on the big occasion in the noughties which has been hard to witness as a Cork fan, that I admit, but as God is my witness we will hockey ye this year. I am actually delighted ye beat them. I am hoping we meet ye, I will relish the opportunity for Cork to beat ye out the gates, as our players will!

Losing three finals albeit to an excellent Tyrone and the Dubs that is what hurts. Galvin doesn’t compare himself to his contemporaries but to the Kerry team of the 70/80′s. To him and his teammates winning 7 or 8 all-Ireland is what they are looking at however ridiculous that may seem to you. Time is passing and he probably only has this season and two more in him. He will look back at this in the distant future and cringe a little but the weight of expectation and the exorcising of Tyrone demons is what seems to be the cause.

In fairness I know nothing about GAA but I can still spot fake tears.

Expand on hiw he is a ‘joker’. As you don’t know much about gaa, here’s one for you. Galvin is an amateur player who puts his life on hold to commit to his team he trains with most nights of the week. You probably do know that. He would need to have a lot of time to ‘care about his image more than anything else’!

You seem a bit obsessed and having read through your two most recent post- I see that you seem to be struggling to make a coherent point.
Your silly, small minded bias is very evident which says more about you than anything.

How can you possibly equate Galvin making a point about media hurt (Joe Brolly’s constant jibes if you must know) and him being a dirty player?

Ironic how you tell me I am a silly little man for making personal jibes yet your first reaction is to mock me? Confused much? In any event I won’t stoop to your level as I don’t know you, but, are you honestly telling me that a team of 30 grown men would be close to tears for the last ten years whilst collecting numerous all ireland medals because of one mans comments? Seriously, Paul Galvin and the Kerry team are hurting so much that he is close to tears ten years on because of one idiots comments? Pull the other one will ya! And I don’t even think I am going to get into him being a dirty player argument, cause if you try to say otherwise (given his history) you haven’t a single clue about GAA and the rules Bryan!

Diarmuid, did Paul Galvin kick the life out of you at some stage? Either that or steal your girlfriend? It’s ok, we understand that you need to air your obsessions with the man. It’s good to talk it out.

Are you unable to read?
I have not called you little- I have said small minded- these comments are made without the necessity of having to know you.
All I have to do is read back your personal attacks on Kerry people calling them animals, etc- thats nothing other than childish and pathetic.
I have never said that they were close to tears, only that they were going a response to comments- its one of the oldest motivational tools used in sport for godsake! Some idiot makes comments and the coach comes in and posts that article on the dressing room wall looking for a reaction.

I know enough about GAA rules thank you for asking by the way, but I was not questioning Galvins history (werent you the one who said to stop referring to history, anyway) I was merely stating the fact that you couldnt equate his point with him being a dirty player.

You either dont understand what I am typing or you’re choosing not to- either way as I have already said, it says a lot about your mindset

Bryan do you have to be insulting to make a point? I am prefectly able to read, now please make your point without insulting! I would also ask you to log on to http://www.proc.ie to see that we all call them animals in Cork, even Kerry family I have don’t get bothered by it cause it’s only play acting so get a grip will ya! Either that or learn a bit more about the rivalry between Cork and Kerry before commenting on things you have no idea about.

So Bryan, please explain to me in depth where the hurt that has a grown man in tears on live TV has come from? Please explain who has been hurting them for the last 10 years! If all you can come up with is Joe Brolly, Cork and Dublin teams will need counseling given the stick he has dished out to them over the past few years!

So you think because other people from Cork call Kerry people animals that it is fine? Nice sheep mentality you have there.
Insulting? because I have called you small minded? I have referenced your posts in this so it has not be indisciminate.
Having gone to college in Cork and also played football there, I am well aware of the rivalry between Cork and Kerry. I always found footballers from Cork to be quite respectful of Kerry , its usually those with no involvement at all that produce most of the bitterness.

Read back over your last few comments now, you have suggested I was illiterate, small minded etc, just for having a different opinion to you, and then on the other hand you’ve criticised me for being childish for jostling Kerry and Galvin? You can’t see the hypocrisy there no?

I have no idea what had Paul Galvin emotional after the match, either do you or the majority of people fo that matter. I would imagine it was something to do with the removal of a proverbial monkey that has been on Kerrys back for a while now, ie the inability to beat Tyrone.
You have completely moved off point here though- first you were making attacks on Kerry football and people in general and now realising the folly of this you have resorted to questioning why Galvin was emotional.

I would say that you should have quit while you were ahead but I’d imagine going on your attempts to make a point here that you rarely , if ever, are

Hypocrisy in what context? You’re getting a bit tetchy now because someone has called you up on your personal attacks on Galvin and Kerry in general.
I questioned your ability to read because you attempted to quote me but did so incorrectly.
I called you small minded because well you are small minded- its very evident from your posts, read back over them for godsake

How have I gone off point? Have a good look through all my posts now and tell me how exactly I have gone off point? I have asked numerous times how they are hurting so much given their success? You said above that it all came as a result of Joe Brolly but now have backtracked to monkeys on backs now? So when Galvin said they have been disrespected (in some mafioso kind of way) is this as a result of Tyrone having beaten them 3 times on the noughties? Anyone who beats them is disrespecting them is it? Just trying to understand your ever changing and off the wall logic, excuse me!

I think you’ll find that independent analysis of this dialogue would find you being the tetchy one, given you are now explaining personal attacks on me when I do not have to do the reverse as I have not and would not stoop that low!

My logic hasnt changed at all- its the exact same point. Brolly has discussed this monkey on their back at length therefore they are clearly linked. The disrespect that he refers to was nothing to do with Tyrone beating them and all to do with their credentials being questioned due to not having beaten Tyrone (you really should be able understand this).

Also- my ever changing logic? You have used an example of where you thought it changed once! Thats not ever changing

So your response to me saying that you are tetchy is in effect- ‘no you are’? Nice!

You cant really take the moral high ground in the same thread that you have made constant jibes about Galvin/Kerry football and Kerry people- to even attempt that is ridiculous

Have the last word there Bryan….

Its like trying to discuss something with a petulant child!
Trying to take the moral high ground by telling me ‘to have the last words’ is negated by you even making that statement.

Why must you keep attemptin to reach for it though?

And you TONY what are u

Yes we are, it may be why we win so much….Rarrrr!

Two impossible if’s there to make any sort of comparison! I think I see where you are coming from though. Any county would be happy to have had him.. though he’s getting on in years and he’s hot headed. Couldn’t care less about his profile off the pitch and I don’t think anyone else would if he was with their county.

See you in September boyo!

Not unless your from Cork or Donegal Donncha!!

He did most of his talking on the pitch.
MOTM in a 10 point demolition of Tyrone.
Not as good as they were but by no means a bad team

It will need google maps to get to cork, it’s been so long…

Hasn’t he just come out? The Gooch that is, not Galvin!

Gouch no. I have seen too much in the dark days of youth!!! Now Galvin who does he think he is kidding!!!!

Just because he wears skinny jeans and nice clothes does not mean he is gay, come to London you will see alot of straight guys that dress just like him.
