Déise losing hold of reality

It is a pity that on a weekend of so many hugely important games, off-field activities once again grab the headlines.

Waterford are the ones creating the media frenzy, for all the wrong reasons. The week began with manager Michael Ryan in the firing line after a run of poor results and then the story went from bad to worse with the resignation of selector Nicky Cashin on Thursday.

I don’t know what went on behind the scenes and I won’t speculate, but Waterford could have done without it.
