Joe Sheridan: Players ‘nearly detest’ inter-county football duty

Former Meath footballer Joe Sheridan has painted a bleak picture of inter-county football, claiming some players are “nearly detesting” it.

Sheridan, who recently stepped away from the county panel having resurrected his career as a goalkeeper, senses growing disenchantment among ex-colleagues regarding the number of championship matches and what is being demanded of them.

“I am, because of the commitment, and lads are nearly detesting county football. It might be a strong word but it is,” he told LMFM.
