Have media taken eye off the ball?

ARE we becoming too critical of hurling? Last Saturday in this paper, Waterford manager Justin McCarthy reckoned that “too many people are knocking hurling”.

“There are too many past players getting on the bandwagon, looking for the ideal exhibition every Sunday.

“Teams go out to play as well as they can. There’s too much doom and gloom about hurling; we should be more positive and bring it with us; maybe a few fellas need to get off their asses and help teams and club and counties rather than having their own agenda.”
