Tom Cribbin blast in heat of moment, says Westmeath’s Denis Glennon

Westmeath stalwart Denis Glennon claims manager Tom Cribbin’s comments earlier this month about the team’s more experienced players were said “in the heat of the moment”.

Cribbin hit out at them following the home defeat to Roscommon, which consigned them to Division 3 next year: “These big players are not standing up. I don’t know why or what’s going on with them but it’s the main lads.

“You saw the other lads that work like, they put everything on the line the smaller lads there, lads that are general average players. They gave it everything but the few big lads who should be standing out and leading, f...... lay down and that’s the trouble with this team. It’s lads who should be leading, chest out and showing these young lads where to go, they’re the ones that’s killing this team.”
