Sickened and saddened by Davy’s slurs

I want to give a bit of advice here to Davy Fitzgerald, if he’ll take it.

You are the manager of the Clare senior hurling team, you have led them to an All-Ireland title. Concentrate on that, on winning it again, and stop lashing out at the world.

His comments, about former teammates, earlier this week: “my feeling was that Clare was a social team. I know some of them were even taking harder stuff than drink,” has dominated the headlines in the intervening days and has also left a sour taste for many.
