Paul Flynn Has His Say

[Youghal Exile]

Hes twisting the knife in in todays sunday tribune.He says gerald was good enough for waterford twelve years ago wheter thats good enough now i dont know.It surprises me to hear it but it doesnt surprise me who is rebelling against him.People in hurling would know the cork lads want to manage themselves.This coming from someone from the county that was arrogant enough to think justin mccarthy was holding them back from an all ireland.

[Mick Lyons]

Saw that. It's getting a bit tasty!

[Sound]

What Flynn and any of the rest of the Deise say isn't worth a hill of beans. If they knew anything about winning AI medals then I might be bothered with them. Until then..

[Langer Dan]

Who gives a damn what that loser thinks ..

16 years of intercounty hurling and the highlight of his career is a cricket score hammering by Kilkenny.

Being also rans might be good enough in Waterford, it NEVER will be in Cork.

[Mick Lyons]

I don't care what anyone says Flynn was a fucking quality player.

[Langer Dan]

He should keep his trap firmly shut, the Cork dispute has nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with him.

[Youghal Exile]

I don't care what anyone says Flynn was a fucking quality player.

Flynn was a overweight choker on a team full of tramps who literally are bottlers.

[Mick Lyons]

In fairness, he was quoted in the context of his time with Waterford and how they only started going somewhere when Gerald took over, lest anyone think the Cork hurling dispute was the focus of the piece:
"Gerald was the start of proper training. Whether thats not good enough 12 years on, I don't know. It surprises me to hear that it isn't but then it doesn't surprise me who's rebelling against him. We'd all know that Cork lads want to manage themselves; he obviously wasn't allowing them to do what they were used to doing. Whether he's right or wrong I don't know, but he was right for us."

When did Flynn ever choke? He was no more overweight than Sully if you want to go down that road too.

Rubbish.

If he wants to make disparaging remarks about the Cork panel he can sod off.
Ger's training might have been good enough for him thats probably why the cork lads 'who want to manage themselves' have the all Ireland medals in their back pockets and he won f**k all over the course of his career.

I don't care of he was the finest hurler of his generation, he's no business commenting on the current dispute. If his shower of bottlers had ever won something maybe he could talk. Biggest chokers in hurling. Noone cares what they think..

Even limerick gave kilkenny a better game than that lot.

[Lapsy Pa]

The fact that that fat tosser thinks the Cork players are wrong only confirms my belief that thay are correct.

The day that Cork take advice from a Waterfrooze player on tips for success will never come.

CHOKERS!!!!!

Exactly!!!! Alot has changed since then Fatboy!!! Ger Mac probably still using his 12 year old drills which is exactly why the Cork team want rid!!! Bye Bye Ger

Who stole all the pies ?

FFS when Gerald went to Waterford they were so f...cking useless that they couldn't get worse. The only way was up. Vincent O Brien (the horse trainer) would have improved them.

An endorsement from a Fat Waterford, Has-been Bottler isn't worth much in a county like Cork where winning the McCarthy Cup is the bench-mark.

Gerald's record as a coach is brutal. What did he ever win at intercounty level? Canon O Brien was the main man in 1990. Gerald was fired as Cork manager in 1982, if he wasn't good enough then how could he have improved by 2007 ?
Flynn, Shanahan and Eoin Kelly are show-boaters. When it was put up to them, they shit the course in Croke Park. If I was Flynn I would be too embarrased to speak to reporters.

[Pheas]

Heh heh. Good to see the siege mentality is as alive and well in GAA as it's ever been.

[Mick Lyons]

Is everyone who never won an All-Ireland a choker/bottler? Was Kevin O'Brien less of a footballer because Wicklow never won anything? Likewise Declan Browne with Tipp? Flynn was man of the match in the Munster final of 2004 (one of the greatest games ever). Lethal free-taker. All-Star. 3 munster titles. Anyone who reckons he wasn't an outstanding hurler knows fuck all about the game. Fair enough ye strongly disagree with what he said but he's entitled to his opinion. And bear in mind it was Shannon interviewing him so the issue was always going to come up.

You're missing the point here, Mick. Everyone knows that even useless counties produce the odd half-decent player from time to time. No one is suggesting that Flynn wasn't a decent player.

We're saying that he is a fat bastard.

We're also saying that he is a choker - we're not saying that he's a choker because he didn't win an all-ireland but because he and all the other Waterford Hurlers (apart from that gurrier with the shaved head) shit themselves in the All-Ireland Final. They were able to perform in munster finals and in AI Semis but frooze on the big day.

Flynn said :- 'We'd all know that Cork Players want to manage themselves' -

These are the words of a bitter, jealous man who has never experienced the feeling of winning an All-Ireland. Cork Players, in stark contrast, are born winners who have walked the walk and so can talk the talk.

I don't care if he was being interviewed by Kieran Shannon or not - His words were offensive to Cork Players and were totally unecessary and unjustified.

He should learn to choose his comments more carefully.

Like Brian Corcoran did.;)

[Barry K O Bama]

Like Brian Corcoran did.;)

Come on now, Mick.

Brian Corcoran can show you his all-ireland medals, if u want. Plus he's not a fat bastard !

[Mick Lyons]

So basically, anyone who hasn't got an all-ireland medal should shut the fuck up?
Maybe Pat Spillane wouldn't be that bad a choice as a mediator after all.
He has buckets of all-ireland medals thus making him the most credible individual in the country.

[Poison]

Who cares about a nobody like Flynn and what he says...

Mick what are you rambling on about?

Nobody is disputing that a fat loser like Flynn wasn't an average hurler.
He has no business commenting on the current dispute.


What is your point?

[daflange]

fuck the lot of ye paul flynn was a class player saw him in croke park when he was a minor, was up with the local club to see cork seniors play in a semi and all the talk on the way home was about the fuckin outstanding corner forward from waterford,he has every right to state his opinion whatever the fuck it is, typical fuckin gaa heads from cork ye poor creatures, yer life revolves around "THE CHAMPIONSHIP" every year and ye small town cunts hanging off the local county player as if he was "becks" and more often than not he,s just a fucking gurrier like the rest of us

[Langer Dan]

Rattlemania.:)

P.Flynn is a hypocrite, his sly dig at the Cork panel conveniantly ignores the Waterford Lads ousting a certain Justin McCarthy during the summer, still selective memory is probably best when you're on the wrong side of probably the worst All Ireland capitualtion in the history of the game.

For this guy to have the neck to question the current Cork crop is hilarious.
'Gerald's training was good enough for Waterford', thats why we won't be seeing the Deise in a final for another 50 years, thank Christ.

[RonnyB]

I don't care what anyone says Flynn was a fucking quality player.

Didnt produce the goods on a regular enough basis for all his talent. I can also recall him missing a free in the 2005 Munster semi-final against Cork from the 21 more or less straight in front of the posts.

Now on his comments about Cork well he's entitled to his opinion. However when you consider he was part of a panel that ousted their most successful coach in years (yes even more so than Gerald Mc for all his talk of how he was good enough for them) mid season then it seems to be sour grapes. The Cork hurlers have proved under the correct method of training & use of resources that they can win All-Irelands.

Flynn's comments annoy me but then again I wouldnt expect less from a man who has seen many a season ended by the Rebels.

If this doesn't make the Echo, I'll lose all faith in humanity.

Flynn is as entitled to an opinion as anyone on here. If you disagree, fair enough, but he's entitled to his say.


My opinion is that he was/is a fatty who could have been a perennial All Star if he ever had enough fitness to play more than 25 effective inter-county minutes.

You know, I can see why GAA games are increasingly painful to attend. Who the hell would bring their family along to hear a group of amateur players subjected to a relentless tirade of personal and racist (yes, we all know what the O'Halpíns put up with) abuse. Don't pretend it doesn't happen. GAA games are starting to head in the direction of 1980's English League football, as far as the crowds are concerned anyway.

Guys from every intercounty team spend their lives training and travelling around the country or little or no money. They provide you all with with hours of cheap entertainment. And judging from the level of debate on this board there's probably a few people who'd be reaching for the razor blade if it wasn't for them. Give them a bit of respect, will you. Ye're roaring and shouting about the treatment of the Cork players, while at the same time firing horrendous abuse at a guy who only plays for a different team by virtue of regions that the British invented to make it easier to tax us. If Paul Flynn has some respect for Ger McCarthy and thinks the Cork players are a bit power hungry, then he's no different to a lot of other GAA people around the country, and of course is at odds with the opinion of plenty others. I wouldn't agree with him, but so what? He's certainly adding more to the debate than the callous nonsense being thrown around here.

well said, it seems to me if your not from a hurling county or a winning county you are not entitled to an oppion and have no knowledge of hurling , best of luck to flynn hpoe we might see him in management a few years down the line

[Poc Fada]

:oYou know, I can see why GAA games are increasingly painful to attend.

They're not. It was worse in the eighties by a long mile. The early ninties after the double were desperate. A tiny minority of uneducated people with low IQs shout shite like that at matches. Its far better now. Just a few old farmers roaring shite that you can hardly understand anyway.

You can't assume bandwagon jumpers like Youghal Paul are the voice of Cork GAA supporters.

Flynn can say what he wants. What are you all getting so worked up about? Calling him fat is pathetic. He's not. Who gives a shit what he says. How many medals have you got yourselves? The same as Frank Murphy no doubt.

[Barry K O Bama]

Paul Flynn was a great player. But that doesn't excuse his mean-spirited dig at the Cork Hurlers.


He was arguably, entitled to voice his support for Gerald McCarthy. Its a pity that he and his colleagues didn't show the same respect for Justin McCarthy - a man that achieved far more with Waterford. All in all, given what happened to Justin surely everyone must agree that all Waterford Hurlers (present and recent past) might be better advised to wait a year or two before making any comment in relation to such disputes. Imagine how Justin feels reading these comments by Flynn and Hartley.

His comments about Cork Players wanting to manage themselves lets him down badly and hence the anger from many posters including myself.

Many posters are making the point that what's good enough for Waterford is not necessarily good enough for Cork as the two counties respective records would suggest - therefore the opinions of Waterford Players are both insensitive and irrelevant and best kept to themselves

Fergal Hartley also commented in the Echo tonight and voiced his respect for Gerald Mac but DID NOT take a cheap shot at Cork Hurlers. This man has some class - Flynn has none.

What sort of comment is this ? Have you got something against old people or farmers - or is it both?

Timmy McCarthy is a farmer with 3 all-ireland medals. Whats your problem with Youghal Exile - he is passionate about Cork and is 100% behind our hurlers. I hope that people like him are the 'voice of Cork GAA Supporters' I'd much prefer him to speak for supporters than narrow-minded offensive morons like u !

I speak with my heart it wounds me to hear waterford people degrading the achievements of our hurlers considering there very own pathetic record at winning all irelands.

Waterford Hurlers are pathetic chokers.

Cork Hurlers knew that Gerald was a complete dud but they gave it their best effort and were happy to let the idiot retire with dignity. They even made a few public gestures of support. Waterford dumped Justin mid-season and publically humilated him. Shocking ! A Hurling Legend like Justin replaced by a unstable midget from Clare, in the middle of the season.

The only reason that Flynn is retiring now is because he knows what will happen when Waterford come up against Limerick. They will get hosed.
Big Dan Motor-mouth and Show-boat Kelly should retire now as well

Fair dues to the players for the front they put up these past few years.If gerald just resigned he would have saved his reputation.

[Youghal Exile]

In the book the agony and the ectacy Paul Flynn couldnt stop throwing cheap shots at Justin.It seems that Gerald was a great man according to him and that Justin there most successful ever manager was a man with an ego who loved the sound of his own voice.:rolleyes:
