No point in patronising Déise

First, a follow-up to what I said on Saturday. Despite what everyone seems to believe, I did NOT say the football shouldn’t have been played in Croke Park. I said it shouldn’t have been played between the two hurling matches.

It should have been played at 4pm, when the hurling games were finished, thus allowing those from Kilkenny – and from Waterford – who had no interest in the football – to make their way home, if they so wished.
