Connors is some scut

2nd red card this year. Although It was only a yellow today

Top drawer. Totally reliant on skill. Wasn't too fond of that training lark.

Bubbles could make a ball talk, ridiculous skill but i'd say once the modern fitness of Limerick etc came in that was him done.

Used to turn up in championship out of shape and score about 1-3.

Cahill never phoned him once he took over.

He probably wouldn't have gone back if the call came, he said himself that he had enough.

‘I had enough of it’ - John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer on Tipp retirement, abuse from supporters and that Hawk-Eye free in 2014

There was no phone call from Liam Cahill to try and lure him back into the Tipperary hurling fold, but John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer admitted that he is unlikely to have returned, even if it had arrived.

Did anyone see or hear what he did for the second card?

No. So much for GAA plus. They showed no replay.

First was a strike with the hurley tackling, second was a deliberate trip with the hurley

Just because I read it again there, a reminder of why Bubbles was called Bubbles

"When I was born, I was born with a massive head of hair, hairy arms, hairy legs, the whole lot," he chuckled.

"The mother was just after popping me out and says, 'Jaysus, he looks like Michael Jackson's monkey', who was called 'Bubbles' so it stuck since then."

You have no idea if that is true. Shocking comment to make

Agree, live TV makes people understandably anxious. These are not polished lads with a lifetime of PR training, they’re lads who have played at the highest level of our great game and go to work the next day

I was actually thinking while listening to the 4 of them how nice it was to have 4 lads who know the game talking honestly instead of making SM clips

Long may it last

Thought they were very good, didn't notice anything with Bubbles either and I watched all of both games from start to finish
