Driving to Thurles two weeks ago for the Tipperary-Waterford Munster round-robin fixture, we had Galway Bay FM on in the car to hear how the Tribesmen were getting on against the Dubs.

Cyril Farrell was on co-commentary duty. His frustration with what he was watching was easily picked up on. Match commentator Niall Canavan wouldn’t even have to throw to the three-time All-Ireland winning manager. There were enough vexed sighs coming from the second mic to let you know what he was thinking.
