“There is a fetishisation of suffering in the GAA. Every team that wins anything trained harder than everyone else in the competition. Every winning team simply wanted it more. Every team decided in their own heads that nothing was going to stop them this year, and just manifested victory into existence. It’s all patently bollocks.”
