O’Shea can still spark Tipp’s revival
It took a moment for journalists lurking outside the Tipperary dressing room in Salthill last Sunday to realise what they were hearing from within. Eamon O’Shea, a man who speaks softly and has never been the type to carry a big stick, had reached for an oversized cudgel and wasn’t speaking softly any more.
Being Eamon O’Shea, he was calm, controlled and measured. He was also audibly frustrated and, unlike Cordelia, not being gentle and low about it. There was no need for panic, he told the troops, but they were now in a tricky situation and it would be hard to extricate themselves.
