When Dublin lost to Antrim in Croke Park in 2010, I hadn’t the stomach to go home. I drove to Galway, booked into a hotel and spent the night staring at the ceiling

During my time as Clare and Dublin manager, there were often games that you just wanted to be over before they even started. To get the job done. To get out of Dodge with your head and your team still intact. Because you knew if you didn’t, there would be hell to pay.

When we lost to Antrim in Croke Park in 2010, I went into a trance afterwards. I hadn’t the stomach to go home. I drove to Galway, booked into a hotel and spent the night staring at the ceiling.
